Sean Burke Gets a Win


Despite having Sean Burke in net the Flyers still managed to beat the post fire sale depleted Carolina Hurricanes. The final score was 4-2, due to goals from Ragnarsson, Gange, Radivojevic, and Sharp. The boys traded goals with the canes early on but started to pull away in the third. Here is what the 'Canes had to say about that on their website:
Philadelphia was the wrong team to allow to take a lead into the third. The Flyers have a recorded at least a point in 80 straight games when leading after two periods -- the longest such streak in the NHL -- improving to 70-0-8-2 in such situations.
Not bad. But don't feel too bad for the Ol' 'Canes with young guys like Eric Staal and now thanks to the Flyers Justin Williams the future does look bright for the Hockey team from NASCAR Country.

Unfortunately Tampa Bay won last night too. Keeping them one point ahead of the Flyers and tied with Detroit for first over all. With only five games remaining the standings remain very tight. Flyers' Recap
