Result:
WIN

The Philadelphia Flyers have come back from the dead, after being down in this series three games to none. They have come back to win the last three, and now head to Boston for all the marbles in the series finale. Just two of 161 teams in the NHL have come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. The last was in 1975 when the Islanders overcame a 3-0 deficit to the Penguins. The Bruins have Tuukka Rask to thank for even being here in the first place, and he once again came up big in game six, stopping a penalty shot. The real story may be the injury to Brian Boucher, who left game five with an MCL sprain and won't return. That left the net minding to Michael Leighton, who has allowed just 30 goals in his last 14 games. He came up big in game five replacing Boucher, stopping all 14 shots in 35:25 seconds. He also came up huge in game six, stopping all but one shot. Leighton is the difference here, stopping 44 of 45 shots, and his last time in Boston, he stopped 23 of 24 in regulation. I will go with the Flyers in this one to make history.
