New York – MSG has hosted a lot of great playoff games over the years but very few regular season games had the kind of atmosphere that last night’s Flyers-Rangers game had. Both fan bases were waiting for the inevitable and neither one was sure what would happen.

Flyers captain Mike Richards got his team on the board first when he literally split the Rangers defense and accelerated untouched, after a turnover, and lifted the puck past Henrik Lundqvist to give his team the 1-0 lead just 40 seconds into the game. The air was out of the building and it wouldn’t have shocked me if Tums were being handed out in homes all around the NY-Metro area.
