Flying high! Gagne helps force Game 6
by Eric Schwartz
Ladies and Gentleman, we have a series.
Simon Gagne continued his remarkable comeback with a pair of goals and Villie Leino had a goal and an assist to lead the Flyers to a 4-0 win over the Bruins.
The win cut the Flyers deficit to 3-games-to-2 with Game Six coming in Philadelphia on Wednesday.
In case you missed the greatness that took place on the ice, here are a few of the Highlights.
— Who was that guy wearing No. 19 on Monday? Did we really have our first Scott Hartnell sighting of the season. Hartnell played his best hockey since — well I can’t even remember the last time he played well. He was active all night, scoring a goal and putting four shots on net. Him and Leino actually had a great bit of chemistry out there.
— In Leighton we trust? The goaltender carousel continued as Michael Leighton returned between the pipes, subbing in Brian Boucher who left the game at 4:35 of the second period. Leighton wasn’t tested often but when he was he came up with the saves — 14 in total.
— What a boost Gagne has been. One game after scoring the game-winner in his return from a foot injury Gagne buried the Bruins with the final two goals of the game. He also showed a little fire injecting himself into a scrum when a teammate was getting pounded on. Like Hartnell, this is the best I have seen Gagne play all season.
— Final Thought. Montreal beat Pittsburgh today to force a Game 7. If Montreal wins that game and the Flyers make history by winning two more against Boston, the Flyers will host Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
About all you can say to that is WOW.

Dial up Kate Smith one more time baby!
Villie Leino should of been in this lineup since they got him in that trade. He was all over the ice tonight.
