Ten years after the Flyers counted on Brian Boucher to help bail them out of an 0-2 playoff hole, they’re needing the goalie to deliver again. Boucher was in the net the last time—and one of only two times in team history—Philadelphia rallied from an 0-2 hole to win a round. He’ll get the start against Boston in Game 3 on Wednesday and the Flyers facing the same deficit. The Flyers won four straight games against Pittsburgh in the 2000 Eastern Conference semifinals, including the classic five-overtime Game 4. In 2000, the Flyers dropped the first two at home. This year, they lost two in Boston. The Flyers were beaten, but not terribly outplayed, in their first two losses to the Bruins. The Flyers hope a return to home ice and a rowdy arena for Game 3 on Wednesday can help get them back in the series. But it will take more than a hostile crowd and a dose of pregame nostalgia to spark the Flyers.

Flyers coach Peter Laviolette gave the team the day off to rest. The Bruins held an optional practice in Massachusetts and most of the top players took the day off. Both teams were ready to move on from a supposed biting incident in Game 2. Flyers forward Daniel Carcillo accused Bruins forward Marc Savard of biting his finger. Carcillo complained that Savard bit him after a whistle at the 5:55 mark of the second period. Bruins coach Claude Julien pointed a finger at Carcillo, a regular atop the NHL’s penalty minutes, for exaggerating the chomp. Two points are quickly obvious: Philadelphia needs more goals from players other than Richards and Briere and it has to start winning faceoffs. Richards and Briere have four of the Flyers’ six goals in this series, a clear sign they miss injured scorers Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne. There is hope, albeit, slim as a stick blade, that Gagne could return in this series. Gagne broke his right foot blocking a shot in Game 4 against New Jersey. He was walking around the Flyers’ practice facility Tuesday without crutches and his foot will be examined on Friday. He’s hopeful he could start skating this weekend. It’s still too early to determine if Gagne could return at any point in the best-of-seven series.
