Sly...for the commercial break....BOSTON -- Epic comeback or epic choke?

However it's analyzed, the Philadelphia Flyers took 3-0 deficits to the Boston Bruins -- both in the second round and at TD Garden Friday night -- and turned them into 4-3 Game 7 and series victories. The Flyers join the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975 New York Islanders as the only teams to drop the first three games of a best-of-seven series and wind up on top -- although neither of those teams came back from as large of a deficit in a Game 7 as the Flyers.

"It's unbelievable to be part of something like that," said Flyers forward Simon Gagne, who scored the game-winner in only his fourth game since returning from surgery to repair a broken toe. "All the guys are happy to be part of something big like that. We didn't do it the easy way, but we are part of history now."

To get there, the Bruins did offer some help. Gagne's fourth goal (and second game-winner) of the series came with seven minutes remaining in regulation as Boston attempted to kill off a too many men on the ice penalty.

Bruins forward Mark Recchi, who is now 4-4 in his long NHL career in Game 7 situations, said the penalty "was a terrible call," especially so late in a decisive game. But Recchi admitted the Bruins have only themselves to blame to even be in that situation.

"Killer instinct was missing," Recchi said. "Desperation at the end of a first period to not allow them to score, which I think is imperative and it didn't happen. What are you going to do?"
