The inexperienced Flyers stole the Penguins’ will in their Game 2 victory. Now, the series shifts to Philly The Flyers beat and beat up the Penguins on Monday night to take a 2-0 series lead. A raucous and playoff-deprived Xfinity Mobile Arena awaits them on Wednesday.
Goaltender Dan Vladař, right wing Garnet Hathaway, and right wing Travis Konecny celebrate after the Flyers took a 2-0 series lead on Monday night.PITTSBURGH — The puck trundled around the boards late in the second period Monday night, and Tommy Novak, a center for the Penguins, took his good sweet time retrieving it, as if he were a rollerblader coasting along a Southern California boardwalk.Tippett bumped Novak, took the puck, and fed Garnet Hathaway a nifty pass for an easy shorthanded goal. The Flyers led by two on their way to a 3-0 victory, and at the conclusion of the sequence, Novak found himself in the perfect position to symbolize the state of this first-round series: He was flat on the ice, having tripped and fallen in pursuit of the two Flyers.Two games here at PPG Paints Arena, two Flyers performances that were as solid and smart as could have been expected from a team so young and inexperienced in the postseason, and consider what we’re looking at now. They’re coming back for Game 3 on Wednesday, for the first playoff game in the Xfinity Mobile Arena in eight years, with a two-games-to-none lead and a home crowd that will be bathing in a kind of barbaric joy. The damn place promises to be a pot of boiling water.What’s most important, though, is this: There is no reason at the moment to think the Flyers will lose this series. It’s not merely that the Penguins will have to beat them four times in no more than five games to pull off a minor miracle and advance — and that three of those games will be in Philadelphia. It’s that the Flyers aren’t playing like the team they are on paper. On paper, they have so many players who had never been through the jungle of the NHL playoffs before — 10 regulars, to be precise — that it was fair to wonder whether the heightened intensity and pressure of the postseason could cause them to wobble. But in practice, the Flyers are faster and more physical than the Penguins, and one of those players,Contrast Martone and the Flyers with the Penguins and their captain. Sidney Crosby is a great and proud player, and hell, nobody can draw penalties without punishment the way he can. But the Penguins’ lineup, while top-heavy with future Hall of Famers, doesn’t have the overall depth to sustain any momentum or territorial advantage.Lord knows, they tried in the third period Monday. Desperate, they fired seven shots at Flyers goaltender Dan Vladař in the frame’s first six minutes, and Vladar stopped them all. He threw his left pad in front of a Samuel Girard wrist shot from the slot, then kicked away a Crosby one-timer from the right circle. He finished with 27 saves. He was perfect, and the Flyers were as close as could be. The Penguins kept coming and coming, and Vladař didn’t care, and ironically enough, it was a power play, on aand Luke Glendening, and minutes later handed Tippett a penalty shot. Skinner staved off the inevitable with a great save on Glendening, and Tippett’s shot sailed wide, but those scoring chances alone were enough to make clear where the two teams stood. The Penguins wilted thereafter. They had nothing left. The Flyers had stolen their will. They have two days to get it back, if they can. Good luck, Sid.
