April 14, 2010 -- In Game 1 of the ECQF at N.J., Brian Boucher made 23 saves backing the Flyers to a 2-1 win. It was Boucher's first PO start in eight years. Boucher’s last PO win of nearly ten years was the third longest stretch in PO history (Boston’s Jim “Sugar” Henry went 10 years and 1 day between wins (1942-52); Sean Burke went 9 years, 347 days between wins. Boucher went 9 years, 329 days between victories). Boucher came within 2:43 of a shutout and made several key stops. Chris Pronger, who played a game-high 30:01, snapped a second period scoreless tie with a PPG then Mike Richards (1-1-2) made it 2-0. The Flyers' PK excelled going 5-for-5. The Flyers were outshot 24-14; the shot total unofficially was the fewest in any team PO win and one off the all-time team PO low of 13 (in two losses). The Flyers led a series 1-0 for the first time since 2004 (Toronto). After the game, Danny Briere said “There’s a piece of furniture behind you guys that took a pretty good beating” a reference to a soda machine supposedly thrashed by head coach Peter Laviolette between the first and second periods.

Ilya Kovalchuk scored NJ's lone goal, on a 5-on-3 in the first period. Martin Brodeur made 24 saves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAEzUBHqbJw
April 22, 2010 -- In Game 5 at N.J., the seventh seeded Flyers won 3-0 and upset the second-ranked Devils 4 games to 1 to advance to the 2010 ECSF. Brian Boucher made 28 saves, Danny Briere (1-1-2) scored a PPG at the 3:16 mark and Claude Giroux (2-1-3) scored twice during a second-period span of 1:59. Briere said of Giroux, the game's top star, “Big plays from him again tonight. You can’t teach what he does. He’s been a guy we’ve been able to rely on. For some reason we have that chemistry when we’re together on the ice. We think alike and we know where each other are going to be all the time. He’s a player that’s fun to play with and you have to be ready to get the puck from him every time.” Mike Richards added two assists. The Flyers were 2-for-6 on PPs while New Jersey was 0-for-8. The Devils committed 13 turnovers to the Flyers' one. Chants of "Booosh" and "Let's Go Flyers' rang throughout the Prudential Center. Ilya Kovalchuk said "We've got a great team but they just outplayed us, totally. They were missing a couple of guys (Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne) but were still able to do it. We did not deserve to win." Boucher earned his first playoff shutout since April, 16, 2000, ending a streak of 10 years and six days — the second longest in NHL history, missing Jim Henry’s mark (1942-52) by just four days. However, Ian Laperriere suffered a severe eye injury which kept him out of the lineup for 10 games until May 22, 2010. Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii5sFowdPlQSeries Recap: Boucher's GAA in the series was 1.59 with a .940 save percentage and did not allow an even strength goal for the last 187:39 of the series (excluding Ilya Kovalchuk’s empty-netter at the end of Game 2). The last time the Flyers ended a series with a shutout win came in 1987 when Ron Hextall blanked the New York Rangers. Martin Brodeur recorded a 2.98 GAA and an .881 save percentage. Scoring leaders: Mike Richards (2-6-8), Claude Giroux (4-2-6), Danny Briere (2-3-5) and Chris Pronger (2-3-5) who had points in his first four PO games as a Flyer. NJ was led by Ilya Kovalchuk (2-4-6). The Flyers' PP was 8-for-29 and the PK killed 28 of 32.
2010-2011:
November 27, 2010 --Travis Zajac scored the SO winner (2-1) in NJ's 2-1 home win. The Flyers led the shootout 1-0 when Nikolay Zherdev scored in the third round but Jason Arnott tied it. Johan Hedberg made 40 saves and was 3-for-4 in the shootout and was selected the game's top star. Philly held a 41-25 shots advantage including 28-11 combined in the second and third periods. Danny Briere tied the game with a PPG midway in the third period. The Flyers' PP was mired in a 2-for-34 slump through this game. The game totalled 10 PIMs. It was the second straight shootout loss for the Flyers in as many days leading Blair Betts to say “You can feel it (lack of passion). The atmosphere was light and there wasn’t enough emotion or intensity, even before we went on the ice. You kind of felt it yesterday against Calgary and it’s something we have to fix.”

GDT MUSIC: "Anything Goes" by AC/DC

Did Hartnell-Briere-Leino ever get split since last years playoffs?
Very nice GDT and what a very nice team, good day to be a Flyers fan.
For the most part the line has been together. Exceptions: Leino was rehabbing (hip) early in the preseason and missed some time, also Briere was suspended earlier in the regular season.
Nice job MSE, and I think the song choice is ideal -- I assume that was chosen after today's fiasco?
There wasn't a smidgen of sarcasm in the selection nor was it based on any bizarre prescience. It was chosen solely because I recalled a drunken lass at the most recent AC/DC tour being indescribably out of sync while attempting to mimic the lyrics of said song while flashing her...devil horns as shown in the clip.
I'll be there tomorrow, and I can't wait. I'm home (West Chester) on break and couldn't snag tickets for yesterday (and I'm almost glad I didn't, I might have attempted murder) so we're hiking out to Newark. I've heard good things about the stadium and not so good things about attendance, hoping to see Flyers fans abundant!
