Pretty impressive win over the Devils by the Flyers on Thursday night in rainy Newark. The last time the Flyers closed out a playoff series with a shutout win ... well, most of your were not even born. That would be April 16, 1987 when Ron Hextall shut out the Rangers at Madison Square Garden in a 5-0 rout. More than two decades later, the Boosh - Brian Boucher - puts his mark on that

Mini-Preview (7:30 AM) The Flyers will look to close out their first-round series tonight when they travel to Newark to take on the Atlantic Division champion New Jersey Devils. The task became more difficult with the news that the club has lost both Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne for the remainder of the series (and, in Carter's case, quite possibly for the rest of the playoffs). However, the

Gagne suffered a fractured toe after being struck with the puck twice in the second period. GM Paul Holmgren stated Wednesday morning that both Carter and Gagne will not be available for Thurs game 5 in New Jersey.

Flyers take command of series with 4-1 beatdown of Devils, Carter and Gagne hurt
Why is the Flyers can't ever seem to get through a playoff year without significant injuries? First Jeff Carter suffers a fracture in his left foot that hampers him down the stretch and into the first 3 Games of this playoff series with the Devils and now Simon Gagne, who was soooo close to breaking out of his scoring slump, blocks a couple shots and has a broken right toe. Gagne will have

MINI-PREVIEW (11:30 AM) Game four of a playoff series is a perspective changer any time it's a non-sweep scenario. Although it's only one game, there's a huge difference psychologically between leading or trailing three games to one and switching venues tied two games apiece. The Flyers took over much of Game 3 before winning in overtime and they need to continue building on the things they've

Jacques Lemaire is unhappy with the officials for penalizing his team in the second period for the same infraction he claims the Flyers committed in OT: Too many men on the ice. “Nobody talked about them having too many guys just before our penalty [against David Clarkson],†Lemaire said tonight on a conference call with reporters. “Nobody saw that. We were yelling. A guy was at

Getty Images It was flat-out physically and emotionally draining. Every-shift and every period have proved to be crucial. One would think after just two games, these players have nothing left. Don’t tell captain Mike Richards and Dan Carcillo that. Carcillo netted the overtime game winner in last night’s Flyers 3-2 defeat of the New Jersey Devils to take a 2-1 series lead. With the Wachovia Center electrifying, the Flyers and Devils put forth an amazingly satisfying contest that ended with the Philadelphia faithful going home happy and voiceless. “Richie and [Simon] Gagne were banging away and they seemed occupied with those two guys and I snuck in there back door,†Carcillo said. “Luckily, it squirted out and I had a pretty easy tap-in.†“You never know,†said Flyer captain Richards.

Richards, Carcillo sink Devils in OT to take 2-1 lead
(MINI-PREVIEW 9 AM) The outcome of tonight's game at the Wachovia Center will go a long way toward swinging the momentum of the Flyers' first-round series with the New Jersey Devils. The Flyers easily could be up 2-0 in the series right now but just as easily could be down 0-2, so this series still has yet to see either club truly gain the upper-hand. Philly has plenty of positive things t

MINI-PREVIEW (9 AM) The Flyers will look to build a 2-0 series advantage tonight when the puck drops on Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals matchup with the New Jersey Devils. The Flyers will likely need to generate more than 14 shots on goal tonight if they are to return home with a two-game lead in the series. It would be be helpful not to give up five powerplay opportunities to

NEWARK, N.J. _ Twice during the morning skates presser w/Devils coach Jacques Lemaire (Peter Laviolette didn't use the press conference stage), there was such tremendous electrical interference, there was a big bang that caused Lemaire to dart some angry glances toward my direction. Seems I had the hand held mike and it was too close to the speaker - about 6 feet. I gave it back to Devils PR
