The Flyers looked invincible after winning the first three games of the series; however, it was starting to feel a little shaky after The Pitt won Games 4 &amp; 5 and seemed ready to take last night\u2019s Game 6 in overtime, continually abusing the Phila. defense through the first 15 mins. of the extra period. Only the nonstop, last-gasp netminding heroics of Flyer goaltender Dannie Vladar kept the game deadlocked at nil. And then the magic happened, with the game- and series-winning goal coming with 3 mins. left in the overtime, completely against the run of play, on a post-ringing and scoreboard-dinging shot from Flyer defenseman Cameron York.
