from Rob Rossi at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
At times this season — OK, most of the time this season — the Flyers have needed everything to go right to stay in games against the Penguins. So how is it that they have stayed in this opening-round series against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions?
Might be that even they don't know.
But after a grueling, gutsy 4-2 victory at PPG Paints Arena on Friday night, these Flyers are again in position to flip the script with this best-of-seven affair headed back to Philadelphia.
If they do, it will probably go something like this at Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon:
• inexplicable greatness from their goaltender (we're guessing Michal Neuvirth gets the call after his 30-save performance in Game 5)
• masterful penalty killing (the Flyers are a stone-cold 9 for 9 in their two victories)
• two words: Sean Couturier (one word to describe his Friday night: unforgettable)
Can the Flyers count on any of those elements carrying over into Game 6?
Game highlights are below.
