Someone Tell the Flyers - Hockey Games Have 3 Periods

Found April 11, 2008 on East Coast Bias: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Mike Green,  Alexander Ovechkin
TEAMS: Philadelphia Flyers,  Washington Capitals

Ovechkin
I don't watch a whole lot of hockey, but I do know that if you have a 2 goal lead going into the third period, you should probably try to protect it. The Philadelphia Flyers apparently don't know that, since they sleepwalked (sleepskated?) through the biggest period of hockey they've played all year.

  • They did such a great job controlling Ovechkin in the first two periods. I don't think he even had a shot on net until the 3rd. But everyone knew he was there with his physical play and what a game winner. Steal it twice, have the patience to wait out Biron and then put it home top shelf. what a play!
