Some pregame horsing around was the key to the Philadelphia Flyers game 6 dominance.

Prior to yesterdays playoff game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Flyers players Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds cleared their heads by playing a quick game of H.O.R.S.E. in the hallway of the Wells Fargo Center. Maybe they should stick with this pregame ritual, as Philadelphia would go onto crush Pittsburgh 5-1. Claude Giroux’s crafty basketball shots resulted in a stellar 1 goal, 2 assist night, capping off a personally dominate series for the 24 year-old center.
