The Philadelphia Flyers concluded their first round series by beating the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game Six of their series on Sunday, April 22. The Flyers have a high chance of winning the Stanley Cup this year. 

In the series, the Flyers scored a remarkable 30 goals. In two different games the Flyers scored eight goals. Claude Giroux had six goals and Danny Briere had five goals. All of the players contributed to the game, leading to the series victory.

Even though the defense for the Flyers was not as strong because Chris Pronger and Andrej Meszaros were injured and Nicklas Grossmann was eventually knocked out with a concussion, they managed to succeed. During Game Six the defense blocked many of the Penguins' shots.

The Flyers set an amazing record by scoring 12 power play goals in this series. They had an outstanding average of two goals per game. The Flyers converted 50 percent of their power play chances, which is the most out of any other playoff teams. They also added three shorthanded goals.

Even though the games after this series are going to be tough because Grossmann is injured,  the Flyers can get through this and work hard to win the Stanley Cup this year.
