Unfortunately, we are still in Philadelphia for Game Four, where at any minute you could be hit in the face by a glowing plastic bracelet. Let’s hope the Caps can get out of that city tonight not only securing their health and safety, but also with a ticket to the 2nd round.
As I have said previously, only 4 teams in the history of the NHL have been able to come from behind and win a series after starting down 3 games to none. Let’s not put any ideas into the heads of the Flyers and their fans, and just further end their hopes and dreams tonight.
Michal Neuvirth starts for Philly, Taylor Chorney is in for Brooks Orpik and Pierre Hit From Behind Bellemare isn’t. Liveblog below.

For my country music fans out there, isn’t this kinda interesting?
Everyone should do this. It will broaden your music horizons.
Caps are 3-0 all time when I listen to @russianmachine's Spotify playlist for my workout. Coincidence? Why push it. pic.twitter.com/6zfFRW2Jsy

First Period
The ghost dude, decides to stop being a ghost and puts the Flyers up 1.

Scott Laughton goes down very awkwardly and needs to be stretchered off the ice. Thoughts out to him. Hate to see stuff like this.

CFTC: Even period IMO. They had a PP and buried one. The 1st and 4th lines have been humming. The defensemen have been too indecisive and sloppy. Let’s get this baby tied up. 1-0 Flyers after 1.
Second Period
Andrew MacDonald scores to make it 2-0. The Caps are playing like garbage.

CFTC: We are doing nothing 5v5. It’s frustrating to watch. We’ve been good in 3rd periods. Gotta have a real good one now. Flyers up 2-0 after 2.
Third Period
Timothy Leif makes it 2-1.

We have a new bottom 6 to finish this one.
Been writing, but Trotz switched up bottom six. Richards centering Beagle and Winnik. Johansson centering Chimera and Wilson.

CFTC: Philly hangs on for dear life. Neuvy stole the 3rd period.
Final Score: 2-1 Flyers
