Porter Martone, welcome to the NHL playoffs. What a snipe.
3-1 Flyers.
This has been an absolutely stifling 5-on-5 defensive effort by the Flyers tonight. With all of their puck possession, Pittsburgh just cannot create HD chances or even shots, really. Just 5 and 12 right now.
Porter Martone now somehow 7th all time Flyers goal scorers
Girard-Letang pair on the ice for two Flyers goals against, by the way. If there's a pair in this series the Flyers can exploit, it's that one. And they have tonight.

Travis Sanheim, what a move. 2-1 Flyers with 10:00 left.
That was a top-pair defenseman move, just saying.

Flyers have allowed just 13 SOG so far tonight. Now, with a lead and time running down in the third, they have to keep up that level of defensive effort.
The beautiful thing about this Flyers team is that a lot of these guys are young and we have years of this to come!
Flyers up 3-1 on the Penguins
New headline unlocked:
Flyers set the Martone in game 1 win against the Pens
I love Porter Martone so much. He scores to put the Flyers up 3-1!!
#LetsGoFlyers
Flyers defense has been doing crazy work tonight
Sanheim with the goal and the Flyers are up 2-1!!!!!!!!!
#LetsGoFlyers
Martone gets hit with a high-stick, and the Flyers are back to the power play. For most teams, that would be a good thing.
That was a real pretty goal #Flyers
I don't know if it'll be next week, or far later than that. But the power play is ultimately going to be the death of this Flyers season. It is painful.
another embarrassing Phillies loss so now the Flyers win is secured
Flyers fandom really brings white trash me back to the forefront. Blessings.
The Flyers at 5v5 are getting more quality chances than the Pens, but Pittsburgh has had the puck a lot more. They just haven't been nearly as productive w/their possession. I have the Penguins with 33 possession entries (22 carry-ins, 11 recovered dump-ins) & PHI with just 19.
Go Flyers
1-1 after 40 minutes of play. Drysdale gave the Flyers the lead, then the Penguins eventually got to their cycle game and tied it. Flyers I'd say have been the better team by a bit in aggregate, but it did feel like the Pens figured something out in the latter stages of the 2nd.
