The Bruins didn’t completely fold under the pressure after the tying goal however, and the two put on a third period for the ages with multiple posts hit on both sides. Not even six minutes later, Daniel Briere tied the game on a wrap around off a Bruins defenseman to completely silence the Boston crowd. Once Scott Hartnell roofed a back hand rebound to cut the lead to one goal early in the second period, the tension in TD Garden could be cut with a knife, and the Bruins were clearly feeling the pressure. Before the end of the first period, James van Riemsdyk got a lucky bounce to leak through Tuukka Rask to get the Flyers on the board, and the seeds of doubt were planted. A Game Seven to RememberĮarly on in Game 7, it looked like the Flyers had run out of miracles as the Bruins ran out to a 3-0 lead on the back of two goals from Milan Lucic, but it turns out the best was still to come. The stage was set for a potentially historic Game 7 in Boston. The Flyers were not ready to be done yet however, winning Game 4 in overtime and allowing just one goal over the course of games five and six to be the first team since the 1975 New York Islanders to force a Game 7 after being down 3-0 in a playoff series. However the Bruins won the first two games in Boston in razor close fashion, and ran the Flyers out of their own building in Game 3 to take a 3-0 series lead. Both pulled off upsets in the first round, and were looking to continue their unlikely runs. When the Flyers and Bruins met in the second round of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, it was their first playoff meeting since 1978. The Philadelphia Flyers run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2010 was a run for the ages that was full of some of the best moments in team history, but none were better than Game 7 of their historic second round series against the Boston Bruins. BOSTON – MAY 14: Simon Gagne #12 of the Philadelphia Flyers is congratulated by teammate Mike Richards #18 after Gagne scored the game winner on a power play in the third period against the Boston Bruins in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at TD Garden on in Boston, Massachusetts.
