Flyers Dodge Pizza To Make 2nd Round
Although they managed to make it to overtime, the Flyers looked like they were just about ready to head to the golf course. They were outshot, 16-5, in the third and they were from Philadelphia: Clearly, Game 7 was going to go the way of the Washington Capitals. But Joffrey Lupul knocked in a rebound just over six minutes into overtime and the sixth-seeded Flyers advance to the second round to play the Montreal Canadiens, a team we can hate for its name, its 26 Stanley Cups and probably a few more things. (Update: Oh, yeah, I forgot, Montreal’s fans rioted after a first-round win and burned up some cop cars. Whoo!) As you can see in the photo, after the win the Washington Capitals fans threw things onto the ice to celebrate the loss — Joffrey Lupul was even hit with a pizza box! Whenever the pre-Woodstock incident of throwing snowballs at Santa is brought up, I’m going to counter with a simple mention of Caps fans wasting pizza. Redlasso video of the game-winner after the jump. Update: The 700 Level has video of Jeff Carter getting hit with a bottle after the game. Nice toss, to be honest.

Also, when Coatsy was interviewing Jeff Carter after the win, you could clearly see an arm throw something, and a second later Carter got hit in the head with what looked like a plastic bottle.
Class.
You could see more than an arm (at least on the HD feed). You can clearly see two yahoos standing hands in pockets. Then one reaches down and grabs a bottle and chucks it at Carter. Then both giggle like they just pantsed the school nerd. Classy indeed.
I do have to say, though, that it was a pretty good shot. I mean, throwing a plastic beer bottle is not that easy…
Not only that, pizzas at the Verizon Center in DC cost like 10 bucks. What a waste.
