May 9, 1974: In Game 2,
Bobby Clarke scored the GWG at 12:01 of OT and the Flyers recorded a stunning 3-2 win in Boston.
; The goal was set up when Dave Schultz stole the puck from Terry O'Reilly and passed to Bill Flett who found Clarke. Moose Dupont tied the game with 0:52 left in regulation on a terrific pass from Rick MacLeish. Bernie Parent was fabulous with 37 saves and among them was one on a Johnny Bucyk breakaway. Schultz and Flett assisted on both of Clarke's (2-1-3) goals. Clarke won 22 of 33 faceoffs head-on with Phil Esposito. This was a chippy game especially when compared to Game One. Schultz and O'Reilly had a first period fight. Wayne Cashman of Boston was tossed from the game as a third man in during an Orest Kindrachuk-Gilles Gilbert minor scrap at the 20:00 minute mark of the second period (
). ; Upon the conclusion of the game, two paper bags with bottles inside were tossed onto the ice from the crowd nearly hitting players. During the game, a Bruins' fan jumped onto the Boston players' bench taunting Fred Shero but a police officer intervened. The day prior to the game, Shero flew back to Philadelphia and viewed video of Russia-Canada games and incorporated some of the Soviets' system in this game especially when on the PK. Prior to this game, the Flyers were 4-31-4 against the Bruins and last won in Boston the very first game in this series, 1967.
May 12, 1974: In Game 3,
the Flyers trailed 1:03 into the game but rallied for a 4-1 home win. Tom Bladon and Terry Crisp scored in the first period then Orest Kindrachuk and Ross Lonsberry added third period goals. Bernie Parent made 24 saves, one more than Gilles Gilbert. Gary Dornhoefer suffered a separated left shoulder which prevented him from playing the rest of this series. After the game, the Bruins faced internal criticism as head coach Bep Guidolin said "We have six guys playing today. I don't know what I have to do to convince them that Philly is a good team." Bobby Orr said "We have only four guys playing." Gregg Sheppard said "Eight guys are playing for us." Andre Savard, Terry O'Reilly, Don Marcotte and Sheppard, among others, were generally acknowledged as the top performers.
May 14, 1974: In Game 4,
Bill Barber's wrist-shot with 5:35 left snapped a 2-2 tie and Andre Dupont's insurance tally gave the Flyers a 4-2 home win. Bobby Orr said of Barber's goal "That may be the best wrist shot I have ever seen, maybe the best ever." The play was formed when Ross Lonsberry made a terrific defensive play on Orr and Barber picked up the loose puck. The goal, which snapped Barber's nine-game scoring drought, happened when Fred Shero switched lines to put Barber, normally a LW, on the right side with Lonsberry (LW) and Rick MacLeish (C). The Flyers led 2-0 by the 5:30 mark on quick strikes by Rick MacLeish (PPG) and Dave Schultz. Boston rallied to tie it 2-2 on goals by Phil Esposito (PPG) and Andre Savard. There were three fights in the first 7:56 (including Orest Kindrachuk and Savard --
)and 60 PIMs in the opening period. The second period saw a key moment as Bobby Schmautz of Boston missed what appeared to be an easy goal with the net open and Bernie Parent out of position. Afterwards, he said "I choked or whatever you call it." In the third, the Flyers scored twice. Parent made 28 saves while Gilles Gilbert made 27 stops. The day before the game, Bep Guidolin held an optional practice but only a few Bruins' players showed, among them Andre Savard, Darryl Edestrand and Al Sims. Most of the stars stayed away which led to more frustration for Guidolin. He did praise Orr, Gilbert, Dallas Smith, Wayne Cashman, Gregg Sheppard and O'Reilly for their play.
May 16, 1974: In Game 5
, Bobby Orr (2-1-3) scored twice in the second period and recorded points on the first three goals leading the Bruins to a 5-1 home win in a game highlighted by seven separate fights. Referee Dave Newell called an NHL record 43 penalties (38 was the previous high, in 1969 and 1970, both games involved Boston). An NHL record was set for most penalties against one team, Philly had 22 and Boston 21. The Flyers received 70 PIMs to Boston's 68. At the 0:24 mark, Dave Schultz and Carol Vadnais fought (
). ; Later in the first, Terry O'Reilly picked up an extra two minutes for kneeing during a fight with Moose Dupont and during the kill, Gregg Sheppard (1-2-3) gave Boston a 1-0 lead. A third fight in the peiod involved Jimmy Watson and Andre Savard. In the second period, Bill Clement tied the game 1-1 but Orr scored consecutive goals to give Boston a 3-1 lead, then Schultz and Wayne Cashman fought --
. Ken Hodge scored on the PP 39 seconds into the third period to make it 4-1. The festivities continued when Cashman was called for spearing among a series of minors. At 13:58 and Boston up 4-1, Schultz and Cashman fought yet again resulting in the ejections of Schultz (third major of the game) and Boston's Bobby Schmautz (third man in). With 1:13 to play, Tom Bladon bloodied Boston's Richie Leduc (
) and Bruce Cowick fought Vadnais -- (
). Twelve seconds later, Don Marcotte finished the scoring. For the second time in three games in Boston Bruins' fans littered the ice by tossing glass bottles leading a perturbed head coach Bep Guidolin to say "They talk about the fans in Philly. What about some of the ones here." Guidolin also stated "To hell with him (Schultz). I want to talk about my hockey team. We're going to win this thing."
May 19, 1974: In Game 6,
Bernie Parent made 30 saves, Rick MacLeish scored at the 14:48 mark of the first period and the Flyers shocked the NHL world by becoming the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup with a 1-0 win in the Spectrum. Goalies Gilles Gilbert (25 saves) and Bernie Parent (30 saves) were magnificent. Parent's kick save, one for the ages, off a Ken Hodge bullet with under three minutes to play in the third period was a crushing blow to Boston as the shot was near perfect yet still not good enough to beat Parent. The goalie also made a brilliant save on Carol Vadnais as well and afterwards Bruins' exec Harry Sinden said "It was the most sensational stop I ever saw." With 2:22 to play, a frustrated Bobby Orr was penalized, a questionable call, for holding Bobby Clarke on a potential scoring play. The game began with a live appearance (her second of four) of star Kate Smith singing "God Bless America." Bruins' coach Bep Guidolin said "It's bush league. Why didn't they get a
singer like Billy Eckstine or Frank Sinatra. Kate Smith is yesterday." Orr joined Phil Esposito as they shook hands with Smith after her performance. Sinden said "The Flyers played superbly" while Orr stated "They wanted it more." After the game, Clarke refused champagne and said "I am from Flin Flon, Manitoba. Beer is good enough for anyone from Flin Flon, Manitoba." Joe Watson offered Orr, a close friend, champagne after the game but despite playing 35:19 Orr refused saying he didn't earn it. Esposito said "They played as well today as any team I've ever played against." In the days following, Guidolin and Esposito got into a verbal battle through media when Guidolin accused Esposito of not trying hard enough and being distracted by a lucrative offer from the WHA's Vancouver Blazers. Esposito responded "I've been in ten Stanley Cup playoffs...this is the worst a team has been prepared. I don't know if Bep had another job offer but there were times the players had to organize practices. Bep has never been known for his smarts or diplomacy."
October 17, 1974 --
Ross Brooks celebrated his birthday by making 32 saves and Phil Esposito (2-0-2) scored the first two goals of Boston's 4-1 win in Philly. It was Boston's first win under coach Don Cherry after a 0-2-1 start.
January 26, 1975 --
Phil Esposito scored twice while Reggie Leach and Don Saleski scored for Philly in a 2-2 tie at Boston broadcast on NBC.
February 2, 1975 --
Bobby Orr (1-4-5), Gilles Gilbert (24 saves) and Gregg Sheppard (2-1-3) led Boston to a 5-1 home win. Dave Schultz and Terry O'Reilly fought. The game marked the return of Bruins' forward Dave Forbes who was suspended 10 games for a vicious stick incident with Henry Boucha (eye injury, broken cheekbone) of the Minnesota North Stars who ultimately filed suit (eventually dropped after a hung jury decision) against the player and Bruins.
February 16, 1975 --
Bernie Parent made 25 saves and Reggie Leach's PPG gave Philly the eventual 4-3 win in Philly. Five Flyers had two-point efforts. The third period was scoreless. In the first period, Terry O'Reilly and Dave Schultz had each handed minors and a misconduct for an incident began when O'Reilly was whistled for charging then accelerated when Schultz, with O'Reilly in the box, elevated his stick towards O'Reilly who, in return, raised his skate blade towards Schultz. The scene led to a war of words between Bruins' exec Harry Sinden and NHL official Frank Udvari. Sinden challenged the on-ice call then Udvari told him "I'll explain the rule to you later." Sinden said "Get a referee with guts. What a dumb staff you've got." Udvari then said "Go to hell, I don't have to take that from you." Schultz ended up with a concussion and missed the next two games. The game was aired on NBC.
November 1, 1975 --
Wayne Stephenson stopped 31 shots and eight different Flyers scored in an 8-1 victory at Philly. Ross Lonsberry, Bill Barber and Reggie Leach each had three points. Orest Kindrachuk set the tone of the game as he scored 28 seconds into the contest.The Flyers held a 43-32 shot advantage. Gilles Gilbert surrendered eight goals.
December 28, 1975 --
Gregg Sheppard snapped a tie with 1:08 to play and Gilles Gilbert made 30 saves in Boston's 4-2 win at Philly. The Bruins outshot Philly 22-6 in the third period but didn't beat Wayne Stephenson (39 saves) until the GWG. Bobby Schmautz tied the game 2-2 in the second period and added an ENG.
January 25, 1976 --
Boston led 3-0 after one period en route to a 5-3 home win. Jean Ratelle scored a key SHG with four seconds left in the second period to give Boston a 4-2 lead. Don Marcotte (1-3-4), Ratelle (1-2-3) and Ken Hodge (1-2-3) led the offense. Philly held a 22-15 shots advantage including 16-7 over the last two periods. Wayne Stephenson gave up five goals on 15 shots. Dave Schultz, who later was suspended four games for head-butting, fought Terry O'Reilly (
) and other fights included Jack McIlhargey-O'Reilly (
), Bob Kelly-Dallas Smith and Mel Bridgman-Dave Forbes.
March 27, 1976 --
Reggie Leach netted his 58th goal with under seven minutes left and the Flyers scored three PPGs in a 4-4 tie at Boston. Orest Kindrachuk, Bill Barber and Tom Bladon each had a goal and an assist. Philly had a record of 19-1-8 in the last 28 games. Wayne Cashman scored twice for Boston. The day prior to the game, Bobby Clarke and Barry Ashbee rushed rookie Paul Holmgren to a Boston hospital. Holmgren, who made his NHL debut March 25, developed a wound near his eye from a skate blade a few days earlier during an AHL game. While in the hospital, Holmgren nearly died from a reaction to an anesthetic.
April 27, 1976: In Game 1 of the Semis at Philly,
Dallas Smith and Gregg Sheppard scored 1:48 apart in the early third period to give Boston a 4-2 win which snapped the Flyers' NHL-record 24-game home ice win streak. Gilles Gilbert picked up the win. Bernie Parent started and saw his only action of the series. Out of action for most of the 1975-76 season due to injury (he played 11 regular season games and 8 PO games), Parent felt his game was rusty and didn't want to jeopardize the team's chances so a switch was made to Wayne Stephenson for Game 2. Philly entered the game 21-1 in the last 22 home PO games.
April 29, 1976: In Game 2,
Reggie Leach scored 13:38 into OT and lifted Philly to a 2-1 home win. Leach collected the rebound off a Jimmy Watson slapper for the GWG (both Watsons assisted). Wayne Stephenson, who made his 1976 PO debut, stopped 32 shots and was selected as the game's top star. Boston tied the score with 6:43 remaining on a Johnny Bucyk PPG, his 40th career PO goal. Don Saleski gave the Flyers a 1-0 first period lead, a 65-footer which fooled Gerry Cheevers (36 saves) who was not named as a starter until just prior to game-time. Early in the OT, Bobby Schmautz nearly ended the game but he flubbed a breakaway chance as he lost his edge. Philly outshot Boston 12-6 in the OT and 38-33 in the game. The Flyers improved to 46-3-1 in the 50th playing of "God Bless America" by Kate Smith.
May 2, 1976: In Game 3 at Boston,
the Flyers scored three times in the third period, including Mel Bridgman's (1-2-3) GWG, and Wayne Stephenson made 26 saves in a 5-2 win at Boston. In the first period, Ross Lonsberry gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead. The Flyers then failed on a 2-man advantage that lasted 1:37. Moments after the kill, Boston's Gary Doak was whistled for holding Dave Schultz who retaliated with a slash and picked up another minor for not proceeding to the box leading to a PPG by Jean Ratelle. Bill Barber made it 2-2 on a beautiful individual play with 49 seconds remaining leading Don Cherry to say "It is a cardinal sin of hockey (to give up a goal in the final minute of a period). I'll remember that goal for many years." Reggie Leach and Tom Bladon finished the scoring. Larry Goodenough and Bobby Clarke each had two assists.
May 4, 1976: In Game 4 at Boston,
Wayne Stephenson made 27 saves and Orest Kindrachuk and Joe Watson netted third period goals in a 4-2 win. Terry O'Reilly scored two first period goals for Boston. In the second period, Reggie Leach became the first player in NHL history to score goals in eight straight PO games in one season when he tied the game 2-2. The next 22:36 was scoreless. Boston lost three players to injuries: Jean Ratelle, Wayne Cashman and Bobby Schmautz.
May 6, 1976: In Game 5 at Philly,
Reggie Leach (5-0-5) joined Maurice Richard and Darryl Sittler as the only players to score five goals in a PO game and the Flyers advanced to the 1976 Stanley Cup Finals with a 6-3 home win. Leach also became the first NHL player to score goals in nine straight PO games (the streak ended at ten). Leach recorded a natural hat trick in the second period to give the Flyers a 4-1 lead and his fifth goal gave Philly a 5-2 advantage in the third period. Leach, who had five goals on seven shots, scored on three back-handers and two wrist shots. Leach's highlights:
Bobby Clarke had three assists. Gilles Gilbert, who started Games 1, 3 and 5, gave up six goals on 21 shots. Jean Ratelle returned to Boston's lineup but Bobby Schmautz and Wayne Cashman were out. The Flyers advanced to their third consecutive Stanley Cup Finals as 2,000 orange and white balloons fell from the ceiling of the Spectrum.
Reggie Leach (9-0-9) and Bobby Clarke (0-6-6) led the offense. Leach had 20 points (15-5-20) through the first 12 games of the 1976 POs and became just the second NHL player to score 15 in one PO season. Said Boston's GM Harry Sinden of Bobby Clarke "Now that Orr isn't playing, Bobby Clarke is the greatest player in hockey. They will follow him anywhere, do anything he wants."
December 9, 1976:
Philly won a regular season game in Boston for the first time since 1967, 3-1 in a game dominated by Bobby Clarke. The Flyers went 22 regular season games (0-18-4) without a win, an existing team record for road futility against a team. Mel Bridgman was penalized in the last minute of regulation but Clarke scored a SH-ENG to clinch the victory (Gilles Gilbert was removed for an extra attacker) when Bobby Schmautz of Boston tossed his stick at Clarke who was breaking in alone to an empty net. Afterwards, Clarke recalled a story from his youth that he heard a Montreal player did that to Bobby Hull and that Hull was awarded the goal despite the puck never crossing the line. Jimmy Watson said "We expect (Clarke) to make great plays all the time." Don Cherry criticized ref Bruce Hood after the game in part for an unsportsmanlike bench penalty with about four minutes to play leading to the Garden ice to be littered by the Bruins' fans. Cherry said "I give Clarke points the moment they drop the first faceoff." Boston outshot Philly 18-16, the lowest combined shot total in Flyers' history.
December 11, 1976:
Philly outshot Boston 16-2 in the third period and scored two late goals in a 4-3 home win. Gary Dornhoefer tied the game at 16:59 and Bill Barber (2-0-2), on a 2-on-0 break, netted the GWG with 1:41 left. The win ended a 14-game (0-13-1) regular season skid against Boston goalie Gerry Cheevers. After the game, Bernie Parent said "He (Cheevers) played a great game. It was a shame he had to lose." Ross Lonsberry said "It was almost sad to see him lose. It was a great performance." The Flyers outshot Boston 38-19. The Bruins, who dressed five d-men, used three for much of the third period (inexperienced Ray Maluta saw little action) as Mike Milbury was in the penalty box for about 10 minutes serving a seven-minute penalty for slashing Orest Kindrachuk and then fighting Bob Kelly (who was tossed as third man). Rules at the time prohibited the offending player (Milbury) from exiting the penalty box until the next stoppage in play so he was in the box three minutes after his penalty expired. In between the two games, Boston GM Harry Sinden was asked about the Flyers and said "Philadelphia is the most exciting team in the League. They have about a half-dozen players you'd pay to watch, Clarke, Parent, Leach, MacLeish, Kelly, Kelly is their (Terry) O'Reilly."
March 12, 1977 --
Wayne Cashman scored early in the third period and Gerry Cheevers made 18 saves in Boston's 3-1 win in Philly.
March 24, 1977 --
The Flyers took a 5-0 lead en route to a 6-2 win in Boston as Don Saleski scored twice in a 3-0 first period. Bernie Parent made 21 saves. Reggie Leach scored twice. Ross Lonsberry, who scored to make it 4-0 in the second period, got in an altercation with the Bruins' Mike Milbury in the first period which resulted in a one-game suspension to the Bruins' defenseman for his third game-misconduct penalty of the season. Milbury, who was tossed from the game for excessive swinging and "inflicting punishment (according to the supervisor of referees)" at Lonsberry, who had fallen to the ice, also broke the existing team record for PIMs in a season. Lonsberry-Milbury (
). Gerry Cheevers lost a regular season game to the Flyers for the final time (eventually finished 21-5-4 in the regular season).
April 24, 1977: In Game 1 of the Semis at Philly,
Rick Middleton's OT tally, on a flubbed clearing attempt by Bernie Parent, gave Boston a 4-3 win. The Flyers trailed 3-0 after the second period and pulled starting goalie Wayne Stephenson for Parent (recent injury, his lone action of the series). In the third, Philadelphia rallied with a pair of goals by Bobby Clarke, including the GTG with 0:29 to play in regulation, and three assists from Rick MacLeish. During the game, Parent suffered a foot injury.
April 26, 1977: In Game 2,
Terry O'Reilly's tap-in beat Wayne Stephenson at 10:07 of the 2nd OT gave Boston a 5-4 win. Jean Ratelle tied the score at 4-4 in the second period, the fourth goal in a span of 1:38. Nine players scored. Philly outshot Boston 33-18 in regulation and held the Bruins to just one third period shot. Bob Dailey, the game's #2 star, fought Wayne Cashman (

Gerry Cheevers made 21 saves and Jean scored the GWG in the second period of Boston's 3-0 win. Don Marcotte scored twice in the third period (14:05 and an ENG). After the game, Bruins' organist John Kiley taunted the Flyers with a rendition of "God Bless America."
October 6, 1977 --
In an exhibition game won by the Flyers 6-2 in Philly, author George Plimpton participated in a special five-minute session in order to pen a first-hand account of pro hockey for a book titled
Open Net.
Reggie Leach scored a hat trick in Philly's 6-2 home win which featured 17 game-misconducts, 311 PIMs, 55 penalties and four suspensions (Paul Holmgren 3 games, Wayne Cashman 3 games, Jim Watson 2 games and Mel Bridgman 1 game). Cashman and Watson each got match and fighting penalties due to a spearing/stick battle which led to an ejection of Holmgren as third man. As on-ice play continued, Holmgren felt Cashman tried to gouge him during the fight and confronted the Bruin in a corridor near the dressing rooms. Cashman picked up a stick and swung it at Holmgren which led to both teams leaving the ice surface and out of view of the bewildered crowd. Workers eventually installed an iron gate that separated the visiting locker room from the home locker room; it is often referred to as the Holmgren-Cashman Gate. Plimpton was unaware of the fun since he was delivering a speech in the Spectrum's Ovations Club. In the second period, another battle erupted after Terry O'Reilly cross-checked Orest Kindrachuk. During the scheduled 5-minute scrimmage involving Plimpton, Kindrachuk scored with the Flyers' first shot then later Milbury purposely tossed his stick at Leach during a breakaway so the writer/goalie could face a penalty shot. Leach, in a half-hearted attempt, was stopped. In the real game, two first period tripping penalties to Gerry Cheevers led to PPGs by Holmgren and Bob Dailey.
December 15, 1977 --
Philly ended Boston's 17-game unbeaten streak with a 6-4 home win. The Flyers 5-0 lead dwindled to 5-4 as Bobby Schmautz scored twice then Stan Jonathan scored with 10:37 to play; however, Bobby Clarke (1-2-3) sealed the win with 6:08 to play. Wayne Stephenson made 28 saves. Rick MacLeish, Bill Barber and Mel Bridgman had a goal and an assist. Each team was issued 9 PIMs, including a fight between Tom Bladon and Terry O'Reilly. Fred Shero said of the win "Maybe this will teach us something I learned 30 years ago: if you win big against a team like this in a big game like this, it could hurt you, make you overconfident."
December 23, 1977 --
In a game between the teams with the top two records (Flyers 48 points, Bruins 47 points), Bobby Schmautz had a hat trick in Boston's 6-1 home win. Boston outshot Philly 28-15. The game had a few fights leading a furious Harry Sinden to blast the NHL. One fight paired John Wensink, who was handed 19 PIMs and Andre Dupont, who was given five PIMs. Sinden said "There's a damn conspiracy here, a vendetta and Brian O'Neill and Scotty Morrison (NHL execs) are behind the whole thing. They are not running John Wensink out of this bleeping League." When asked about Sinden's "conspiracy" comments, Wensink said "I don't know about that" but didn't think his punishment was fair. The fight began when Dupont and Boston's Wayne Cashman were clutching along the boards and then Wensink jumped in. During another scrap, Dupont fought Stan Jonathan and afterwards said ""I'll give the little bugger credit. He got me with a good uppercut. He's a good fighter" --
February 28, 1978 --
Rick MacLeish's (1-1-2) backhander with 0:24 left lifted the Flyers to a 4-4 tie in Boston. Each team scored three third period goals and the teams combined for five goals in the opening 5:58. Ross Lonsberry also had two points. Terry O'Reilly led Boston (2-1-3) with three points and four minors. Dave Hoyda and John Wensink (
) hooked up in a good fight. Goalies: Rick St. Croix vs. Ron Grahame. Asked if he was disappointed, Boston coach Don Cherry said "I don't care if its home or away. The Flyers aren't a humpty dumpty team." The game was re-scheduled from the cancelled (snowstorm) February 11, 1978 date.
March 11, 1978 --
Bernie Parent (28 saves), Bobby Clarke (0-3-3) and the Flyers' special teams (four goals) led the way in a 6-2 home win. The Flyers had two SHGs, two PPGs and two at even-strength. Rick MacLeish scored a SHG when Boston had four forwards on the ice during a 4-on-3. With about five minutes to play, Boston goalie Jim Pettie (three minors) crosschecked Paul Holmgren and the result was a fight between Dave Hoyda-John Wensink and Rick Lapointe-Mike Milbury.
May 2, 1978: In Game 1 of the Semis at Boston,
Rick Middleton's 10-footer from the slot eluded Bernie Parent for the GWG 1:43 into OT and sparked Boston to a 3-2 win. Gerry Cheevers (21 saves) and Jean Ratelle (1-2-3) helped Boston. Bobby Clarke (1-1-2) tied the game in the third period. Terry O'Reilly fought Mel Bridgman (
) and Rick Lapointe in the contest.

May 14, 2010 -- In Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semis at Boston,
the Flyers completed one of the most astonishing comebacks in the history of organized sports by rallying from a 3-0 deficit in the series and in this game to earn a stunning 4-3 win. Simon Gagne's GWG with 7:08 remaining came during a bench minor penalty (too many men on the ice) to Boston issued when Marc Savard skated towards the bench and teammate Vladimir Sobotka skated onto the ice. Boston coach Claude Julien said " A player (Savard) waved for a change then changed his mind... they're (refs) calling them (such penalties) through the whole playoffs." Milan Lucic, the game's #2 star, stated "I saw two centermen out there and I said 'What is going on?'" The Bruins led 3-0 at the 14:10 mark aided by two PPGs and a pair of goals by Lucic. Soon thereafter, Flyers' head coach Peter Laviolette called a timeout. Boston held a 14-8 shots advantage after the opening period but the momentum began to change when Flyers' rookie JVR scored with 2:48 left in the first. That goal was the first of nine consecutive shots which carried into the second period. Scott Hartnell (1-1-2) and Danny Briere (1-1-2) added second period goals and the scored was even 8:39 into the middle period. The Flyers outshot Boston 19-11 over the last two periods and 27-25 overall. Michael Leighton made 22 saves and Chris Pronger played a game-high 31:42. The Flyers joined the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975 New York Islanders as teams which came back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Laviolette said "It's a game made for men and our guys proved to be men." Game highlights --
Leading Scorers -- For Philadelphia: Daniel Briere (5-5-10), Mike Richards (3-6-9), Ville Leino (2-5-7) and Simon Gagne (4-1-5). For Boston: Dennis Wideman (0-8-8), Milan Lucic (5-2-7) and Patrice Bergeron (2-4-6).

Well-acted romantic comedy about show businessWell-done, with several funny scenes. The leads were pleasant to watch. Seung Won Cha (Doko Jin) was very believable as an eccentric, egotistical star, and Hyo Jin Gong (Gu Aejong) played a strong counterpoint as a starlet fighting her ten years' bad image. The series had several reoccurring themes that tied all of it together, and nothing seemed too over-the-top for me. The music, however, was a ...Read more
This drama is now part of my favoriteI laughed, I cried and spent almost 2 sleepless nights wanting to know what happened to these two.
The whole cast was good but the actor who played Dokko Jin is really amazing.
I would watching it again and I would recommend it to a friend
I hate that I watched it all!I just loved the heck out of this drama. I was a little lukewarm toward the male lead but by the end of the series I was completely enfatuated with the character. I loved the cute romance and his bouts of jealousy are adorable. Great stuff watch the first couple of episodes and get caught up in the humor and romance!
Great show, hilarious and really cute.Freakin loved the show! These two are adorable and hilarious together. A little slow at times but they picked up the pace. I was completely engrossed in these characters and the story. 5 stars from me.

Now I'm so glad I watched it! It was amazingly cute, hilarious, and always had me pining away for the next episode. I'm sad that it's over, but it was great, and I hope to see more shows as good as this one

At first was like, he is being too rude then I saw how he changed so much in this drama, also the girl, She has to overcome things so much and she does it in style and grace. I was rooting for her so much, but one thing I did not like was that we did not really see a wedding wedding ceremony, yes there was a mention of them having a wedding but I WANTED A CEREMONY!!! anyways I love ...
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful:You will find yourself saying, "Oy Ding Dong!"Lemme preface this by saying I did not love The Greatest Love. I barely tolerated it. I hated Gong Hyo Jin's Ae Jung. I thought she was thickheaded and annoying. Cha Seung Won was funny. His character, Dokko Jin, was childish, arrogant, and sometimes ignorant, but he was funny. He shined in his scenes with the young award winning actor that played Ae Jung's nephew. That kid was a breath of ...Read more
Enjoyed every episode!I usually seem to like the K dramas that are centered around school...however for a drama about an older generation this was really good. There are times that the characters are annoying but overall it was just a build up of their character. There were parts where I actually laughed out loud...which doesn't happen often. I enjoyed watching this show.---Finished it in 3 days.
The Greatest Love..... DING DONG!!I really enjoyed this,especially Dokko Jin I have never seen anything quite like him before. The actor playing him did an excellent job he was mesmerizing!!!
This will forever now be part of my favorites!
The scenes with him and the kid were really good!
I really wish it was longer but all good things come to an end!
The whole cast was great too, but Dokko Jin stole the show DING DONG!!!
Ding Dong The Greatest Love StoryAnother great romance I highly recommend this drama. This season starts out a little slow one sided and then warms up to a complete drama mix. I loved the 2 main characters in this drama they had a great mix of emotions thought the season. This is a must watch for a romance drama mix.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are ready to party like it's 1934. According to ESPN's Jamison Hensley, the Steelers will debut their new throwback uniforms against the Redskins on Sunday. Fittingly referred to as the "bumble bee prison uniforms," the retro look is a flashback to the Pittsburgh Pirates of old. The garb hasn't been worn since their 2-10 campaign in '34, when they played at the since-demolished Forbes Field. To go along with the jerseys will be "tan pants and black and gold striped socks and a black helmet," as they honor their 80th professional season. This won't be a one-time occasion, either. The team will again don these uniforms for their Nov. 18 matchup versus the Ravens. Someone get James Harrison down from the ledge -- quick.

I have Macs, PCs, a Wii, and iPhones in the house. Will the APEB support all of them so that we can all be happy on a wireless connection?
- Asked by Kyle R from Conroe
QA AirPort Extreme Base Station
Product No Longer Available

The Airport Extreme supports all of those devices.
One thing to keep in mind is the Wireless Technology these devices have built in. I've found that broadcasting one signal for Wireless A, B, G and N slowed down my Mac and AppleTV which have built in Wireless N chips. Generally, your Internet connection is only as fast as the slowest Wireless device connected to it. For instance, if I have my iPhone (Wireless G) and MacBook Pro (Wireless N) connected to the same Wireless N Router, even though my MacBook Pro and Router itself can utilize Wireless N, I was only able to attain speeds comparable to Wireless G.
To get around this, I broadcast a Wireless signal at a frequency of 2.4 GHz for my Wireless A, B, G devices, and a Wireless signal at 5.0 GHz for my Wireless N devices. So even though I'm connecting older devices (Wii, iPhone) I can utilize speeds of up to 300 Mbps on my Wireless N devices.

Yes, the AirPort Extreme works on all of these, in fact, it can connect 50 devices happily to internet!
