Rod Brind'Amour Saves the Flyers' Bacon with Game 7 Heroics
Ron Hextall stopped 66 of the 67 Shots he faced from Game 5 to Game 7 and Rod Brind'Amour scored the two lone goals including the OT Winner to help the Flyers survive an embarrassing upset at the hands of Patrick Roy and the Montreal Canadiens. Hextall ended up with three shutouts in the series and they were during pivotal points of the series. The Flyers needed a win in Game 3 after dropping the first two at Home, much to the dismay of the Philly faithful and Hextall shut the Habs down. The Habs answered back in Game 4, but that was their last hurrah. Forsberg led the way with four assists in Game 5, while ex-Habs Mark Recchi potted two goals in Game 6 to secure the win.
