PHILADELPHIA(KYW Newsradio) — Excitement is in the air as the Flyers look to sweep the Penguins Saturday night in South Philly.
The Flyers entered the postseason as the underdog but have won all three Round One playoff games.
Three games in, three wins, and hockey fans are holding their breath.
Megafan Anthony Novotny, from Havertown, said this team reminds him of a few hockey legends.
“It’s gonna be like the Broad Street Bullies, like the original Flyers, when they had Kate Smith, and she sang ‘God Bless America.' Yea. Go, Flyers!” he proclaimed.
Novotny has enjoyed watching the playoffs so far and is looking forward to Game 4.
“I feel they’re very, very confident and I feel they’re very, very outstanding,” he said.
The puck is scheduled to drop at 8 p.m.
A win tonight would send the Flyers to Round 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
