Whew! We made it through Game 1 and it sure was an adventure, that’s for sure. The Flyers came out with the early jump and picked up the early lead from a Jakub Voracek power play goal, and looked to be pulling momentum in their favor. That didn’t hold, and the second period saw a huge surge by the Canadiens that the Flyers just had to weather. They gave up a power play goal to Shea Weber, but the good news is that Joel Farbee got the lead right back for the Flyers, and all they had to do was regroup for the third period and hold on to that lead.
