"Coach Peter Laviolette says the Flyers need to be on the attack mode when the drama-filled Eastern Conference semifinals resume Monday in Boston. "I don't want to come out and sit back," he said in a conference call with reporters Saturday, one day after the Flyers stayed alive in the series with a tense 5-4 overtime victory at the Wachovia Center. "We have to do to them what they're going to try to do to us." The Bruins, who have a 3-1 lead in the series and need one more victory to advance to the conference finals for the first time since 1992, started quickly in both wins in Boston. They outshot the Flyers, 15-8, and built a 2-0 first-period lead in Game 1, keying a 5-4 overtime victory. In Game 2, the Bruins took a 1-0 lead after 5 minutes and 12 seconds and eventually won, 3-2, on Milan Lucic's goal with 2 minutes, 57 seconds left in regulation. "I'd rather . . . swing hard than sit back and watch them do their thing," Laviolette said when asked about the importance of the game's first 10 minutes Monday. The Flyers did not have practice Saturday. No one was probably more appreciative of that than their top four defensemen: Chris Pronger, Matt Carle, Kimmo Timonen and Braydon Coburn." http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20100509_Laviolette__Flyers_need_to_be_aggressive.html
