Simmonds steps up against the best (Video)

Sometimes big games bring out the best in players and tonight it was Wayne Simmonds who stepped up. He opened the scoring in the first period and scored a big goal in the shootout. The Flyers took it to the league's best team for a good part of the game. It is the type of effort we want to see. It was a huge win and the Flyers are now only 4 points back of the Boston Bruins for that last wild card playoff spot. GM Hextall said the Flyers would most likely be sellers, I think he might have to rethink that idea. Here is Simmonds shootout goal, courtesy of NHL.com:
