Maybe if Jeff Carter and Ian Laperriere had never come back in this Eastern Conference final, the Montreal Canadiens would still be playing.

Both the Flyers and Canadiens have shown the ability in these playoffs to overcome large series deficits, whether it be 3-0 or 3-1.

Which is why the Flyers want to wrap up the Eastern Conference final on Monday night with a victory in Game 5 in Philly.

The Philadelphia Flyers are just one game away from making the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 13 years for the franchise after Saturday's 3-0 shutout of the Montreal Canadiens.

Every now and then, the Philadelphia Flyers play one of those games where it looks like they haven't practiced a "breakout" in a while.

They don't give teams two-minute penalties for abusing the puck in hockey. But if they did, the Philadelphia Flyers would have had most of their team in the penalty box.
