I can’t stress enough that game three of this Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers series was one of the most boring hockey games I’ve ever watched. I assume there have been more boring games in the history of hockey, but this one was in the playoffs, so most of us fans were reasonably expecting a decent offering.
It didn’t come. The Flyers got the opening goal relatively early in the first, and from there is was about as dull as games can be. The Canadiens did manage to hit the post rather successfully, but they couldn’t generate anything of substance as the Flyers coasted to regaining the series lead.
