Jaroslav Halak Lets Marty Brodeur Feel Better About Himself

I am not sure if Ville Leino's goal from last night totally lets Marty Brodeur off the hook for worst playoff goal ever, but it certainly is going to rival it. Watch as Jaroslav Halak is flat-footed and completely misplays a seemingly harmless shot from Ville Leino that ultimately helped put the game away for the Flyers.



I must express my disappointment that I am unable to find a video from the Versus feeds where Daryl Reaugh described the goal as "a goal wrapped up in Angora." Beninati then followed it up by asking what OMG meant by explaining to the audience that Razor meant to say the goal was "soft; extremely soft."

The Flyers now head north the Bell Centre where they will play the Canadiens in a critical Game 3 on Thursday night. A team that nearly choked their way out of the playoffs is now 2 wins away from a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals. At the same time, Montreal is 3-8 in non-elimination games this post-season and 5-0 in elimination games so that hold saying about "don't count your chickens before they hatch" certainly rings true here. If there is one team that knows about overcoming adversity (aside from the Flyers), it's these Habs, and the Flyers best be aware of that and best make sure they improve their overall play, keep their foot on the gas, and not let up until the series is over.
