Welcome back to the show that has yet to be named. I am your host, The now 2x Champ, Jon Turner. Tonight we will recap what was truly a grind off a Cup Final, and give special shoutouts to my Flyer teammates. Without Further ado, let’s get started.

Flyers Flames was a fantastic series to be a part of. Both teams played tremendously and could’ve gone either way. Unlike prior series, both teams shook up game 1 lineups. Flyers went depth players and the Flames went top line for all of Tuesday night. Game 1 was one of 2 games to go to OT in this series. Calgary looked to take advantage of the depth lineup and after going up 2-0 in the game it looked to be out of reach for the Flyers who were being heavily outplayed. But it was a late second period Powerplay goal from A-mason to bring the game within reach. It was again Mason who potted a goal to level the game midway through the third.

Both teams had late flurries of chances but we headed to OT. Just after a Power Play ended, it was Sherm who worked into the corner and found Pseudo defenseman Chico to give the Flames a 1-0 series lead, which would be their only series lead. Game 2 Flyers brought the best line in SP out of the press box and down to the ice to try to even the series up. It took some time for them to get going trailing 1-0 for the majority of the game but solid goaltending gave them a chance to get into a groove in the third. 3 goals in the final period would be the difference as the series would be evened at 2. Game 3 started where game 2 left off. 4 goals, two aside.

Defense settled in and we remained knotted at 2 into the third. BoKnows broke the tie around the 15 minute mark in the third. Back and forth for the remainder of the game the Flames had a powerplay chance with under 5 to go but the Flyers prevailed and it was Sniiider with a breakaway goal to put the Flyers 2 wins away from a championship. Game 4 was a game the Flames were required to play the players who haven’t registered a game yet. Flyers took this and ran away with a 4-0 win putting them 1 win away. Game 5 seemed like it was destined to be the last of the season. 2 goals in the first for the Flyers, the offense then sputtered due to a phenomenal game from Chad. The Flames capitalized with 1 in the second and 1 in the third before ultimately winning the game in OT.

Game 6 the Flyers would again look to end the season. But the Flames continued with the offense with a powerplay goal. Sniiider who was the guy when you needed a goal all playoffs was there with one to even it up at the end of the first. Late in the second it was hughsy finding the back of the net on a sweet find from sniiider to put the Flyers up 1. 20 minutes away could the Flyers hold out? Quickly into the third again sniiider on a fabulous pass found Bo back door for an easy tap in. But the Flames wouldn’t go quietly. With just over 13 minutes to play Sherm redirected a shot from Chico to cut the lead to 1. Flyers locked it down and Turner was steller in net with 7 of his 17 saves in the third period. Sniiider would add one more goal for good measure. The Flyers lifted the cup on home ice sending us into the off season. Congrats to Hughsy and the Flyers on a tremendous season.
