Floridas power play-play goal against goalie Ilya Bryzgalov was the first such goal against him since Feb. 25 at Calgary.
It was also just the third power play-goal allowed by the Flyers in their last 13 games.
An odd goal, too, off a weird carom from the glass behind the net.
It went off the glass, what else you can say? Bryzgalov said. So manyafter the glass in this buildingwhat can you do, its bad bounces sometimes. Play against you.
Bryzgalov was one of the very few players who felt that the Flyers had a bit of a letdown against the Panthers after two thrilling, emotional games against Boston and Pittsburgh over the weekend.
Maybe, Bryzgalov said. Yeah, maybe we spent too much emotions the last couple of games. You just give the credit to Florida, they played very well and defend well. Thats it.
We know that its pretty good club. They was in the top of the southeast division, with I dont know how many points85, 86, not that far from us.

Everybody knows thats a good hockey team, especially because they are fighting for the playoff life and we know its going to be battle.
