1997: Lindros’ 7-POINT NIGHT powers Flyers! | Retro Recap

Three times the Flyers have visited the Carell  Center three times they’ve come away Victorious   they look to make it four for four here tonight  now in order to get into first place you have to   have everybody performing well and that includes  the backup goal tender and gar snow for the  

Philadelphia fers has come up so big that he’s  starting his fifth game in the last six contest   for the Flyers here tonight and Gary he deserves  to get the starts he’s been redot no absolutely he  

Has been excellent uh whenever it called upon and  for the Flyers to go for him to go 14 games out   a loss that has been unbelievable but it hasn’t  always been that way he started off one five and  

One was very frustrated but boy did he turn things  around they’re young they’re enthusiastic they’re   playing with a lot of grit and determination and  that’s what the team needs and they’re led by a   couple of stars of Yashin and Elson two guys that  are excellent in their game [Music] plan gar snow  

Fifth start in the last six games he saves the  puck more than 91% of the time opposed by Ron   tuget because of the injury to Damen rhods faced  the flyers in the game between these two clubs  

About two weeks ago MIT Meo for the third time in  the last four games the referee as the Flyers and   Senators as’s a look at players not performing  Dyke house is getting very close Samuelson out  

But the second game of his suspension and there is  a look at the Ottawa scratches the most important   one Damen rhods out with a cap injury not believed  to be serious but their starting go tender will   miss this oneair behind the lind red the shot  that deflected off of the defenseman Jason York  

Greenber gets back to it greenber turning it  toward the net save byair SCS John lir right   where he scores a lot of goals on the door step  it’s one- nothing Philadelphia and again the   Legion of Doom cycling the puck finding the open  man and Michael renberg he just Waits Waits and  

There lindross on a tip pass to John lir a lot  of attention focused on lindross and John lir   was open you know when you send two guys to to  follow lindross a lot of times the big guy number  

10 is wide open and he makes no mistake with a  turnover racing in Shan mcer and the shot the   score the Senators come back just 10 seconds later  and tie it up at one off the neutral zone turnover  

By Philadelphia mchan who has tremendous speed  he out raced everybody and tied the game very   quickly and oh boy mcran he’s got the head up and  he put that right where he want to do firers win  

The draw coffee quick shot he scores Paul coffee  just firing one off the face off tug nut appeared   to duck and it went in two to one Philadelphia  now it’s been 14 games for Paul cop coffee but he  

Snapped that one and I’ll tell you what there was  not a lot of time to release it watch this quick   draw and I mean coffee has to unloaded and why  Damien ducked that’s tug or tug KN rather why he  

Ducked in that play the way that looks would you  see it is that he was ducking to get out of the   way but he was screened didn’t really see where  the buck was coming from F’s looking for more as  

Clatt is dumped and the penalty is upcoming  penalty on AO upcoming Flyers have the puck   delayed call as de jard plays it in the corner  for more it for spota he was shouldered off by  

D and his Ottawa touches up the whistle blows and  the Flyers just regained their lead now go to the   power play rore Lind Ross lir up front coffee n  on the points here’s Yanni n Bing it to bore Quick  

Pass Tolar in front l r shot save tugnut rebound  stopped by tugnut as well and the senator clear   sits along the boards bore able to clear but that  goes right to duaine who moves in duaine the shot  

Say snow rebound right in front chips it right for  the Senators mckr this is a power play for the F   but Dua sh score shorthanded goal for Ottawa it  is tied at two in a very strange beginning to this  

Hockey game and that’s twice now on on not good  judgment by the hockey club that they’ve allowed   goals to be scored against them but that uh there  is nobody close to duch Shane he just wristed it  

And it found its way in the net so we’ve had four  goals just over four minutes of play har and hook   that able to back end into the Ottawa Zone back  goes Johnny lockin he’ll roll it up the glass T  

Got a skate on it but moving it up to Senators  Sean Van Allen has the puck heill blasted glub   Saved By snow to reach back to make the Stop and  he’ll hang on that is the first save for gar snow  

As it the third shot that has scored with their  first two shots and this otwa team and he starts   up Yashin floating one into the Philadelphia Zone  snow will come out of his net play the puck but  

It goes to dle dle controlling the puck centering  it mcran shot save snow rebound poke right back to   snow div on top of it l the F the redberg bounces  up his stick today he couldn’t pick it up and Lind  

Ros do charging up with it Eric ly Rush moves in  across the line turns with his pass to renberg   renberg to llar SC oh Beauty by the Legion of Doom  Tic Tac to it’s 3-2 Philadelphia oh my goodness  

Was that beautiful to watch magnificent passing  by the legion renberg to the Clair and in but   prior to that Lindros was against the wall and  he finds on the spin around right on the stick   of renberg and that’s set up a two-on-one eighth  time this year that John lir has scored two goals  

In a game a penalty upcoming it’s on Ottawa the  late calls s heads to the bench extra attacker   on Terry’s pass eludes Lind Ross and so his tuck  nut plays it to whistle blows stopping play and  

The Flyers they’ll go back to the power play and  both teams are changing players is n it’s to start   up n to ouru Howard chuk who’s missed five of the  last six with the groin injury spun it to Lindros  

Lindros centered it R sh SC power play goal for  Michael renberg off the beautiful setup from   Lind Ross the goals just keep coming it’s 4-2  Philadelphia Lind Ross making a nice move here   and on the backand following rberg now renberg  picks that up in traffic and he is a very good  

Player getting that puck in traffic but any goal  score you notice said renberg he’s got the stick   right along the ice it’s not halfway up waving in  the air he’s giving lindross a Target and Lindros  

Puts it right on the stick and then renberg knows  what to do with it and we’re seeing a change as   Mike Bales has come out UT’s been pulled and Mike  bals secondy year Pro 25 years of age we see his  

First action of the year re agent sigy back in  94 out of Ohio State Mike Bales the new goenda   oh he not even played 9 Minutes of this game  we’ve seen six goals a short-handed goal and  

Three goal tenders here’s M checked by d j a got  it behind the night Yin yeah and in front sh the   score Andreas dle it’s four to three watch out in  front of the net nobody there dle has time to put  

It home and he makes no mistake but that was aided  on the slip by De jardan a lot of Magic In The   Sticks of both teams tonight plus five at least  when the game began drastically here’s laqua turn  

Over to tski in front B shot blocked by De jardan  and CTIC has the maneuvering up with it firing it   in is the Legion of Doom comes back up in the  middle of the line CH Daniels in the check on R  

But Andreas dle has it dle one of the goal scores  moves in drop pass Yash and Y shot save another   rebound snow able to hold his ground and cover up  they continue to battle along it’s AO centering  

To clatt clatt tried to hand off to podin podin on  the board trying to make a move clatt went down AO   picks up the puck back to clatt clatt Turning with  it clatt bumped from behind and too many white  

Jerseys now around T clatt but the arm is up from  meu and a penalty on Ottawa this will be the third   consecutive penalty on the Ottawa Senators stick  of the IIs Rumble goes to De jardan his pass off  

ESC and out of the box is Yashin here you go the  Senators looking to tie it up fires are getting   back Yashin cutting to the spot the shot Sav no  and he hangs on and Yashin the most dangerous  

Of senators showed why that was a good save by  garow picking that shot from a screen that tski   just tips it out of the zone so things have who  here’s a giveaway D shy score just about the same  

Things have settled down no they haven’t da takes  advantage of a GI in at 44 Rumble lost the handle   of the puck and right to D and he made no mistake  the loss of the puck it just went right off his  

Stick as Rumble was ready to pass it and there  is the eighth goal of the game 44 tie 19 shots   Alexander D he has a lot of skill this is his 23rd  of the year it’s a career high racing up with it  

He D Shan GS the fly line theane working on Rumble  he was stopped his back but he turns it over today   in front the shotan sa and the rebound deflected  away from Bon who had an empty net yawning and a p  

Take a shot snow this sa and front again phon got  his SK out Shane has it back shot it dbbl behind   snow but does not go in as snow Dives on top of  it now the toughest game for a goenda scoring  

Chances it’s time for the Ford intermission  report from Ottawa after one period of play   yes that’s right just one period of play four four  the Flyers and the Senators well that first period   aside the Flyers have been playing some relatively  solid defensive hockey in recent games of course  

A big reason why they are in first place in the  Eastern Conference and one guy who’s been playing   very inspired hockey of late has been Chris terion  who is now leading the Flyers defense Corp plus 18   and he’s been very physical the Flyers of course  have been looking for physical play from Chris  

Throughout his career and he’s finally starting to  deliver and he certainly realizes that has to be   part of his game well I think in especially in the  division games you know it’s getting it’s coming   down to crunch time the playoffs are starting  up and uh I think it’s a time when you really  

Have to you it’s it’s we have 20 games left and  it’s a time of the year to pick it up and start   playing and uh I mean if if if I have to to give  myself pep talks and get myself motivated before  

Games that’s what I’m that’s what I’m going to do  uh well his lir is 38 from renberg McAn that was   unassisted coffee from lindross on a faceof that  was won by the Flyers do Shane from mcran lir his  

Second of the game 39th of the Year from renberg  and lindross and then renberg got in the act from   Lind Ross and Howard Chuck on the power play paage  three dle got his 11th from Yashin and mchan and  

Then D and unassisted tally we had 24 Shots in  that period as we look at the Inside Story see   the 24 Shots 23 scoring chances Flyers again doing  an excellent job in winning [Music] faceoffs joh  

Lin Tom torsky the former devil L to the fly line  cofy doesn’t see the [ __ ] in his skates now he’s   got it clicks it to the boards and lindross is  back to help out Lind checked by Van Allen it’s  

Van Allen who went down but the puck to mchan  mcran to cworth cworth the shot safe oh penalty   coming up from the Flyers now Lindros in the Box  for roughing makes it up for the glass but not out  

York keeps it in behind the net here’s D in front  shot but snow got across the make the rebound they   score cworth had a wide open that staring at him  power play goal five for Ottawa back behind the  

Net there was a takeout and then day comes right  in front of the net now there host of players big   skate may have been in the crease Gary they’re  reviewing it or Bon oh no when the puck goes in  

The net I think they may have been out of the  crease and that’s what the call is going to   stand the goal is going to stand the puck bounces  out and the players are getting out of the grease  

So D got that left skate out of there just before  the puck went in quickly checked by Lindros good   work in the defensive Zone by the Flyers captain  alerson knocking a pass down but Lindros picks  

It up in across the line lindr drops it off for  renberg renberg centers the shot Lind they score   another Beauty This one belongs to lindross and  it’s 5 five tic tac toe and on the stick and  

Watch again as the legion goes to the attack and  lindross right in front of the net on a another   good pass by Peter saboda you had mentioned about  reden have an adventurous shift we’ve seen a lot  

Of adventurous shifts in this game so far oh it  was a uh high-scoring period the Legion of Doom   did a lot of damage look at the points and they  had nine of 11 shots on goal and now they’ve added  

A goal and an assist in this period there are your  up to- dat totals and better keep your fingers in   the buttons downstairs there may be additions  to those totals as the buck is thrown into the  

Philadelphia his own 55 game big check by Rumble  watch HS for a good hit by Darren Rumble that’s   finishing the check folks well these teams of  course a brief rivalry because the Senators  

Are only 5 years old but the Flyers have had much  the better of it a 123 and one advantage in this   year the Flyers have won both games including the  win here and you know what we’re signifant about  

That win here in November 30th that was the  beginning of the 17 game unbeaten streak for   the Flyers honey with to the line is shot Off The  Stick of nma bounces into the corner now is there  

Head it behind oh L Ross crashes into cnorth I’m  not sure how cnorth stay down his skates there   here’s lockin didn’t get it by Nimo one hands it  out reaching for it lir he Scoops it up and set  

Sail for the AWA zone lir now using the strength  all the way around turns it in front nma couldn’t   get the shot as alfor got his stick on it hold  down as redur penalty up coming in Ottawa delayed  

Call here’s Nima with a pass toir got it in front  loose p here’s the shot too he passes to and the   shot by Howard Chuck missed everything need a chop  that but he’ll keep it in play penalty faota to  

Lindros in front for R tip and play whistled down  well Eric Lindros has got his game face on and   he’s throwing some thunderous checks against the  opposition lindross has certainly been involved   in this game welld deserved refreshment for him  4 seconds remaine to snow takes his spill as he  

Got the puck up the coffee his pass knock down  by n he finds Lind Ron across the line L it fire   save failed he’s just protected himself and making  that stop here’s bore power play time down to 25  

Seconds bore a shot that’s blocked back to Coffee  coffee Senter toward the net deflec SC rod brindar   with a power play goal and for only the third time  this year the Flyers have more than one power play  

Goal in a game this one a big one they lead 65 you  know what made that possible is Lind Ross knocking   the puck out of the air and then it went gently  to rod bremore and he had an easy time putting  

It in the net but the passing has been absolutely  outstanding by the Flyers and still Bales couldn’t   get over there so mark that as number 11 goal  in this contest welcome back well Gary the   first period eight goals second period three goals  fewer shots in the second period was it a better  

Defensive period Well the coaches probably would  think so yeah it certainly did tighten up a lot   the the checks were there and in the offensive  zones players paid a lot more attention to the   dangerous areas but uh Jim you know we had talked  a lot about the power play of the Flyers having  

To get in gear come playoff time and I would say  for the last five or six games the movement of   the puck has been outstanding and and so for the  third time this year the Flyers scored more than  

One goal and uh that that is good news for a lot  of people the coaching staff the players and the   fans to see the fers power play working gaining  The Zone watch lindross just Knocking by by a  

Checker and I’ll stop it right there see bills  he had to be concerned with Peter abota but look   at the Stick of lindross right along the ice and  he just nudges it into the open net that tied it  

At five and then the power play which is really  getting untracked with a lot of good movement   very quick passes again it’s Lind Ross that’s gets  involved with a Paul coffee shooting it hot coffee   right there stop it right there see the deflection  came in this area and while all eyes are focused  

This way there’s rod bremore and the puckle just  danced to him right in that position and he just   moves it to the forehead and again had a lot of  open net to shoot at and that goal gave the Flyers  

The six to five lead so kennyworth is 11th from  dig and [Music] bunk those countries have quite   a rivalry couple years ago they never would have  been a spin in sweet hanging around here’s R the  

Three scores Michael Ren going the wrap around as  his second of the game the Flyers lead at 75 every   time they get the puck it’s always a dangerous  situation but Michael renberg from behind the   net showing that speed he was actually his body  was positioned behind the net the Long Reach  

Reaching out in front and stuffing it there’s the  trio rightfully named the Legion of Doom SP Doom   for the opposition that can’t contain him uh huge  night for the trio 13 scoring points five goals  

That a shot at it it’s n gathers pass to cofy cofy  darts up with it a feed for renri he’s stripped by   bon bon with the pass to Albertson his pass denied  in the Flyers counter Rush here’s lir rumbling in  

Across the line lir trying to make the move rury  the backhander bails a stick save lro centerman   Watson he is the the captain when it comes to face  offs lindross just topping the puck away from the  

C of gets it back Lindros checked renberg to the  pck circles with it to Lindros the shot save bails   mclair staring daggers at him yeah that shot by  Lind Ross was all the result of hard work along  

The wall and coming up with that loose Puck Lind  Ross he just moved away from a check he got in a   position where renberg could feed him the puck and  how quickly it got on net ring Bon is back forth  

Lo pass intercepted by Lindros couldn’t get back  to it with a big swing at the B has it B checked   byair Coffey tried to poke it away fir is still  in the zone with it here’s Lindros cutting to the  

Go Lind the pass toir he scores the hatrick for  John lir a beautiful setup by Lindros it is over   85 Philadelphia as the line just keeps piling  up the points and very unselfish by Lind Ross  

I mean there is no way that lindas was going to  shoot on that play he had John lir marked for his   40th when it resulted in a two-on-one and then  John lir once he nudged to Lindros just kept on  

Going now watch that soft pass I mean that takes  a lot of skill for Lindros just to nudge it over   the defenseman stick watch the softness of that so  John lir could handle it as well here’s Rumble is  

Playing it off the glass 5 Second to remain bails  will come out and play the P fire it to the Center   Ice Area this one is over the Philadelphia Flyers  Storm from behind and beat Ottawa 8 to5 l draw six  

Points renberg and mclair big nights as well and  gar snow well he just continues to roll along as   he is now 10 and five in his last 15 decisions  a wild one in Ottawa the Philadelphia Flyers  

Able to overtake Ottawa 85 as the Flyers make it  three straight victories a Legion of Doom a big   part of it as they pile up 15 points career high  for Eric Lindros actually one and five for Eric  

Lind Ross a big night for all the line especially  our but I player of the game yeah an outstanding   performance by the line especially Eric Lindros  not only scoring goals setting up plays but also   very aggressive using that size and strength but  it was fun to watch I’ll tell you what they just
