Devils Advance to Finals
It was a pretty bad night for fans of the Philadelphia teams. The Flyers were eliminated from the NHL playoffs by the Devils, the Phillies blew a lead for the second consecutive day and lost to the Mets and the 76ers lost to the Bulls in game five of their NBA playoff series.
The Devils didn’t play their best game of the series but won 3-1 on goals by Bryce Salvador, David Clarkson and Ilya Kovalchuk. The Flyers like they have all series got the first goal of the game by Max Talbot. The Devils scored two minutes later on Salvador’s goal. The goal by Clarkson could have been the back breaker for the Flyers. Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov had the puck and tried to send it into the corner but it hit Clarkson’s stick and went into the net. The goal seemed to take all of the energy away from the Flyers.
The Flyers took a lot of unnecessary penalties during the game and it finally came back to bite them in the third period. James van Riemsdyk took a mindless holding penalty in the offensive zone which put the Devils on the power play and they clinched the game four seconds into the penalty when Kovalchuk scored his fifth goal of the postseason.
The Devils will now wait for the winner of the Rangers-Capitals series with game six tonight in Washington D.C.
The Mets trailed 4-0 after the second inning against the Phillies last night but came back to beat the Phillies 7-4. The Mets once again got a bunch of hits with two outs that plated runs. The Phillies also had some bad defense and relief pitching which led to the Mets comeback.
The Mets will look for the sweep tonight when Dillon Gee opposes Cliff Lee. The Mets are currently 1.5 games out of first place.
