“We had two other games where we won in overtime, so the message in the locker room: don’t replace anything, just play our game,” Flyers goalkeeper Carter Hart said after Game 6, according to Brian Compton of NHL.com.”That’s what we did. We just needed to channel the records into the net, hit hard, and that’s how goals are scored, just by crushing them.That’s what in the end.
That gave Philadelphia some momentum before Game 7 on Saturday, as it turned out to get upset in the moments round, something it has not overcome since its 2010 Stanley Cup final.
The Islanders continued to play well on offense, but allowed nine goals in the last two games after losing only seven in the first four games of the series (including 4 in an overtime defeat in Game 2).do a bigger task to keep Flyers off the board in Game 7 of the winner.
New York has not reached the convention finals since 1993, so it will seek to end that drought and keep its helpless out of the 2020 playoffs.
