Just finished watching the Rangers/Flyers game...the Rangers are now in 1st place in the Atlantic 
Rangers jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but the Flyers battled back to tie it up and went ahead on Mike Knuble's 2nd goal of the game. What a finish that made for though! With just under a minute left, Tom Renny called a timeout, and then with Lundqvist on the bench went with 6 forwards, with Straka and Rucinsky on the points. Straka slid it over to Ruca who blasted it, Michael Nylander tipped it, and then it was tipped yet again by Petr Sykora. That sent the game to overtime, where Rucinsky set up Jaromir Jagr for a onetimer for the game winner....yet another OT goal for Jagr, his 35th goal and 80th point of the season.
Colton Orr was dressed for the second game in a row tonight, and fought Donald Brasher.
The bad news though were injuries on both fronts. The Flyers lost Petr Nedved to a groin injury and Chris Therian left the game with a head injury. Petr Prucha sprained his knee as well on a hit from Turner Stevenson. This is only the 2nd key player the Rangers are without, Blair Betts being the other, but man those Flyers are having it tough.
