Penguins out-flying the Flyers

“It’s frustrating”

That quote from Mike Richards really sums up how the entire Philadelphia Flyers team are feeling right now.  After dropping game 2 against the cross state rivals, Pittsburgh Penguins, the Flyers now go in to game 3 under pressure not just to perform, but to come up with a victory.

“We’ve played in a Game 7 where if you lose, you go home,” said goalie Martin Biron, who made 34 saves. “Game 3 isn’t like that, but it’s as close as it’s going to get. I think we played pretty good, but we can play better. … It’s all about desperation and urgency.”

Game 3 between the 2 teams will be on Tue, May 13 – 7:30 pm EDT. (TV: VS., CBC)
