Late Stafford Goal Pushes Bruins Past Flyers, 2-1

Well, Saturday's game really was more entertaining than any 1 PM Matinee has a right to be. It was a back-and-forth, brilliant and sloppy, goalie duel with no shortage of chances to turn the game into more of a shootout. As it was, the Bruins prevailed 2-1, and the only surprise--to the dismay of the Philadelphia Flyers, who with the loss saw their already-slim playoff hopes take another hit--was that we didn't make it overtime.

Drew Stafford was credited with the game-winning goal when his low-percentage shot was deflected by Flyers netminder Steve Mason with 5.
