“If it was not for Timmy, we might not be standing here tonight with a win,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said after the game. “But that is what goaltenders do for you in playoffs. That is what you like to see, in order to certainly build some confidence on your team. When you know that the goaltender is there to bail you out, it certainly builds a lot of confidence, and Tim has given us that.”

Richards avoided the check and McQuaid went flying head-first into the end boards. McQuaid stayed completely still on the ice for several seconds. It was scary and unfortunate and just one of those things that happens in this high-paced game sometimes.

A little history after the jump.

They started playing Smith’s version of God Bless America before select games, and oddly enough, the team seemed to win games when this happened. When the team enlisted Kate to sing the song live in front of the Philly crowd in 1973 (and the Flyers won big), the legend took on a life of its own.

Quite the contrary. We’ve learned that Pronger is out with an undisclosed injury, unrelated to the hand injury that kept him out down the stretch of the regular season and in the first five games of the Flyers’ series vs. Buffalo. Holmgren apparently misled the media this morning in saying that he was fine. Not cool, man.
