Inside Flyers’ 6-5 loss in Game 1

2010 STANLEY CUP FINAL POST-GAME NOTES – GAME 1 PHILADELPHIA FLYERS 5 AT CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 6 – MAY 29, 2010 WHAT A START Reflecting the unpredictability and excitement of the three playoff rounds that preceded it, there was no sign of a conservative ‘feeling out process’ to begin this Stanley Cup Final. The Blackhawks and Flyers combined for 11 goals, the most in a Stanley Cup Final game for 18 years. The last time 11 goals were scored in a Final game also marked the last appearance by the Blackhawks in the Final — Game 4 of the 1992 series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins defeated the Blackhawks 6-5 at Chicago Stadium on June 1, 1992, capturing the Stanley Cup with a four-game sweep. There were three lead changes tonight and each club led by three different scores; the Flyers led 1-0, 3-2 and 4-3, while the Blackhawks were ahead 2-1, 5-4 and 6-5. Neither team enjoyed more than a one-goal lead.
