Today in Sports History: Keith Primeau Scores in Fifth Overtime to Beat Penguins
20 years ago today.
Can you believe it?
Keith Primeau scored in the fifth overtime to help the Flyers win a second-straight game in Pittsburgh, bringing the Eastern Conference semifinal series level at two games apiece.
Here it is:
The crazy thing is that the Flyers lost the first two games in the series, at home, scoring just one goal in the process. Then they beat the Penguins 4-3 in overtime of game three, in Pittsburgh, before pulling off the five-OT win just two nights later.
Fantastic moment, and we’ll just pretend like the following series against New Jersey never happened.
