The Flyers' Power Dozen

Since the NHL reseeds after every round, we don't know whom the Flyers will face next. So, if we can't look forward, we'll look back ... and smile.
The Flyers set a club record for power-play goals in a playoff series with 12 against the Penguins. At right, Brayden Schenn celebrates his, which got the ball ... er, puck ... rolling.
We couldn't help but notice that nine of the 12 PP goals came in the last 25 seconds of the penalty, and that five of them came in the last 10 seconds.
Here are the Flyers' power-play goals from the series (*scored on two-man advantage; time left is on first penalty):

Anyone else love that we had 10 people score on the power play?!?!?! I have a question... which team left in the East, or West for that matter, has the D to cover 2-3 different looking power play units? AND, that was before JVR got his legs under him and we could very well get Mezz back in Round 2...— macd41144- With JVR back and with Mezz getting closer our Power play units will be harder to cover as we will have 3 maybe 4 different looks. A healthy Mezz willgive our Defense a heck of a boost annd LVR looked better the last game and should be even more of a factor come the second round with him gettimg more practice time in! Zack will be missed with his hard hitsand all out play. Having JVR healthy and in gameshape will make our team that much harder to play against. I really believe JVR will step up in this coming round and show why he was givn the new contract! I really feel for who ever we play as wewill continue to roll 4 lines that can score and our 4th linew will continue to shut down the best player or players on the other teams! LETS GO FLYERS!!!!! 12 knocks to go!!— srcdaddy1216

- This Flyers team is an easy team to root for, but I agree let's not get over-confident. After Homer took the nuclear option with Richards and Carter, few fans thought we'd be in this position. There was lots of talk about a "rebuilding year" etc. The Flyers are now the 8-5 favorite to win the cup, and that's plain scary. But damn, I can't think of anything in sports I'd rather watch than playoff hockey.— metapede
