Philadelphia Flyers played New York Islanders tonight, and it was a good game. It started out very physical and stayed that way the whole game. Powe got the physicality started by hitting an Islander early in a game and getting in a fight with Weight. Then the escaped luckily out of the first period down only a goal after the second "goal" got waived off for being .1 second late past the crease. Second period the Flyers where down for all it 2-0, but they didn't let the Isles keep momentum with their lead. They instead fought three times in the second period.The three fights where spread out over a 3 minute period of time. Started with Carcillo beating Thompson, then Cote and Rechlicz in a draw after about two minutes of a scrum, and then finished with Asham and Jackman and Asham won that one. Flyers finished the period strong to take all the momentum into the third period. Flyers jumped out early in the third. Lupul cut the down to one(1-2), then Hartnell tied the game up(2-2), and then Lupul scored the goal to give the Flyers the lead 3-2. The Isles tied the game up only 30 seconds later. No one scored after that in the third so they went to overtime. No one scored in overtime so they went to shoot out. In the shoot out which Briere put the Flyers up 1-0 in that. Then Nielsen tied it 1-1 in shootout. Then Richards put in the goal to go up and win the game 2-1. Biron stoped the last Islander in shootout for the win. Flyers get two much needed points and Isles get one point.
