Flyers Penguins Video: Watch Jakub Voracek's OT Goal to Complete Game 1 Comeback

Nicholas GossApr 11, 2012

Philadelphia Flyers forward Jakub Voracek scored in overtime on Thursday night to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 and complete his team's epic comeback in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

The Penguins jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after one period, but the Flyers scored once in the second period and twice in the third to complete a remarkable comeback and force overtime.

Philly is now 6-0 at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh this season and have now taken the home ice advantage away from their hated rivals.

The Flyers have once again proved that 3-0 deficits don't faze them, whether it's a three-goal deficit in a game or a 3-0 deficit in a series.

Flyers forward Danny Briere scored twice (although one came after an obvious offside), and Brayden Schenn scored his first ever playoff goal. The Penguins were led by Sidney Crosby who had a goal and an assist in defeat.

Even though Penguins fans will be livid that the Briere goal counted, the better team won this hockey game. When you give up a 3-0 lead in the playoffs, you don't deserve to win.

If Game 1 was an example of how exciting this series is going to be, then hockey fans are going to be treated to an unbelievable two weeks of Flyers and Penguins action.
