Peter Laviolette Changes Goalies Once Again Flyers Force Game 7

Let's see the defending Eastern Conference Champion Philadelphia Flyers, have gone through two regular season goaltenders. Now during their first round Eastern Conference playoff series vs. Buffalo, head coach Peter Laviolette has gone through three goaltenders. Sunday Philadelphia went into Buffalo with their season on the line. The Flyers beat the Sabres 5-4 in overtime to force a decisive Game 7 in Philadelphia. Bob, the rookie goaltender was pulled in Game 1 for Boucher. Game 2 Boucher was pulled for Michael Leighton. Leighton played in the minors after leading Flyers to the Stanley Cup Finals last season vs. Chicago. During Game 6 Michael was pulled after giving up 3 first period goals to the Sabres. Boucher will start Game 7. Many experts wonder can Philadelphia win 16 games, which is down to 13 games, that it will take to win Lord Stanley Cup, by switching goaltenders. Laviolette won a championship in 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes and led the Flyers to a historic comeback vs. Boston last season after trailing series 3-0 and 3-0 in Game 7.
