This goes back to the 2003 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Ottawa Senators. With the series tied 2-2, the Flyers went up to Canada and got hammered 5-2, giving up goals to Daniel Alfredsson, Martin Havlat, Radek Bonk, Bryan Smolinski, and Peter Schaefer. There were 16 third period penalties and then they came home and lost 5-1 to drop the series four games to two.
Happy Stinko de Flyo to all who celebrate.
