Don't rule out the Philadelphia Flyers just yet.
After being blown out 7-0 by the Pittsburgh Penguins in a very lopsided Game 1, the club rallied with a commanding 5-1 win of their own Friday night to knot the series up at one game apiece.
Following the win, Flyers captain Claude Giroux had a message for those who counted his team out after Game 1:
"For all you doubters out there, there you go," he said, according to NHL.com's Dan Rosen.
Head coach Dave Hakstol echoed Giroux's sentiment, suggesting the series has now changed entirely.
"I said it coming in: Nobody is really giving us a serious chance in this series. I don't know if anybody still will," Hakstol said. "But I know this, we just got it down to a five-game series and we introduced ourselves into this series tonight."
With the win, the Flyers have now snatched home-ice advantage away from the Penguins and on Sunday they will get the chance to complete the series turnaround.
