The first period was rocky for me. I was having a hard time picking up Philly's big stars and wasn't playing good defense, which led to several breakdowns that resulted in goals for Insanolord. He used Eric Lindros to score the first two tallies, and Mark Recchi picked up a third with 13 seconds left in the period.

Just when things were looking grim, I gave Brian Leetch the puck off of the ensuing faceoff and marched right down the ice to get on the scoreboard with only 2 seconds remaining. It was a huge goal that made it 3-1 Flyers instead of 3-0, giving me something to build on for the start of the second.
