Jill Biden tweeted a photo of a cardboard cutout of her husband and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden dressed in a Philadelphia Flyers jersey. There is much hope for the fall of a snapshot, and the first glimpse of the Flyers.
The Flyers took their first hope to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup championship since 1975 with a 4-2 east conference playoff win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Then the New York Islanders, a 3-0 against Philadelphia in the regular season.
Maybe problematic. But the Flyers qualified for the first time since 2012, thanks in large part to 22-year-old goalkeeper Carter Hart. Hart held a long-standing position, a thorn in the Flyers’ championship hopes and overcame his goalkeeper idol Carey Price, his post-game verbal exchange was a moment Hart said he would never do, and showed why the top-seeded Flyers were favorites in betting. . take the cup to Philadelphia.
Hart’s numbers shone: two bleached and a GAA of 1.95 against Montreal and a score of 6-2-0 and a save of 943 in total in all 8 games in Toronto since the NHL resumed.
The Flyers needed it in near-perfect degrees given the state of the offense. The Flyers scored 11 goals against Montreal, setting a team mark for the fewest goals scored in a six-match winning streak. The Canadiens beat the Flyers 13-11 in the series, scoring the first time in franchise history that the Flyers won a playoff series in which they were beaten. Montreal’s nod was inflicted with a 5-0 victory at the time of the game that became the only playoff spot on Hart’s résumé.
“I think I have confidence in my own game and accept it as a real deal with my teammates,” Hart said.
The Flyers and Islanders have faced each other only four times in the playoffs, not since the 1987 departmental finals. The Flyers have an all-time 3-1 record in all four series. Consider that Hart was born in 1998.
“A lot of those guys, it’s their first kick for the playoffs,” Said Flyers coach Alain Vigneault. “You have to learn. You have to grow up. Carter Hart has to learn. He was given to grow. He confronted his developing idol and controlled him as expected. As we expect our team to handle the playoffs.
They deserve to want more offensive punches to beat the Islanders. The Flyers made it to the playoffs at this point without any primary production from their most sensitive scorers. Travis Konecny (24), Kevin Hayes (23), Sean Couturier (22), Claude Giroux (21) and James van Riemsdyk (19) failed to score a goal before Game 6. The Flyers even scratched Van Riemsdyk in several playoff games. .
Hayes despite everything being controlled to score a goal in the 3–2 win of Friday’s sixth game.
“We just want to get back to the game the right way we were before this series,” Hayes said. “I don’t think we’re playing badly.”
It’s a night to celebrate for a team that hasn’t had much luck over the last decade. The Flyers last played in a Stanley Cup final in 2010 (JVR and Giroux remain on this team) and Vigneault made them winners, just as they did by leading the New York Rangers and Vancouver Canucks to the final.
“I hope other people enjoyed the show,” Vigneault said. “There were definitely portions of laughter. We’re going to be in one position for the next one.”
