At 8:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Philadelphia Flyers over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Flyers may be down 2-0 in this series, but they were very close to coming back home with the series tied, and actually not that far off from bringing a 2-0 lead back to Broad Street. Philadelphia had Chicago’s back against the wall in Game 1 with a 4-3 lead about midway through the contest, and matched the Blackhawks in shots (32 apiece) before succumbing in the third period to lose 6-5 in a wild opener. Then in Game 2, the Flyers again played the Hawks even for 99% of the match on enemy ice, only to have a 28-second lapse in the second period which resulted in two Chicago goals which turned out to be enough. The Flyers have to be feeling good because they come back to their home arena knowing they outplayed Chicago in that second game in which they out-shot them by 33-26. Should Philly be concerned that the Hawks are 11-1 in their last 12 road games? No, they shouldn’t, for one simple reason: Chicago is 0-8 in its last eight games in Philly. The Flyers may be only 31-15-1-2 at home this season, but they’ve really heated up there lately, going 22-7 in their last 29 in the City of Brotherly Love. Take Philly. As always, good luck…Al McMordie.
