Minnesota Wild vs. Philadelphia Flyers

I must confess, besides the Minnesota Wild, the Philadelphia Flyers are my favorite team in the NHL. Which makes this game tonight extra special. Last season, the Flyers snuck into the playoffs on a shootout in the LAST game of the regular season. They came down from a 3-0 game deficit against the Boston Bruins and a 3-0 score deficit in GAME SEVEN. I mean, that team did not quit. So tonight, the Minnesota Wild square off against the Stanley Cup Runner-Ups. The Flyers boast Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Chris Pronger, and Claude Giroux.
