A team seemingly left for dead last week is not only alive, it is two games away from reaching the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1997.
The Flyers, whose season was on life support four times against Boston, continued their stunning playoff run with a 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night before a raucous crowd at the shaking Wachovia Center.
Goalie Michael Leighton recorded his second straight shutout and increased his scoreless streak to 165 minutes, 50 seconds, and the Flyers got goals form Danny Briere, Simon Gagne, and Ville Leino.
