(CHICAGO,IL)  In Games Three and Four of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Philadelphia Flyers tried to wrest control of the series by ratcheting up the physical nature of the game play.  It worked.  The boys from the City of Brotherly Love showed none as they evened things up.  Back in Chicago for the fifth game, Blackhawks left winger Dustin Byfuglien knew that his team had to respond in kind.  “We had to come back with some fire and just get on them and show them that we weren't going to quit,” he said after Chicago finessed and fought their way to a 7-4 win on Sunday night. “Right from the get-go we just moved our feet and stayed physical.”  Big Buff had two goals and two assists to give his team a 3-2 edge in the series.

Five of his other teammates also scored with the same balanced attack the Chicagoans have displayed all series.  Coach Joel Quenneville once again tinkered with his lines by splitting number one line and placing his three stars on separate lines. “I thought we had good energy right from the outset, he stated after the game. “Great pace.  Had speed on all the lines.  I think there was some balance as far as offensive ability, reliability defensively.  Kept that pace from start to finish.”  Patrick Kane found out about the changes just before the game.  “It didn't really matter who played with who tonight, to be honest with you,” he said.  “I think everyone just had the energy, and we had to make sure we wanted to win.”

COACH JOEL QUENNEVILLE, DUNCAN KEITH, AND TOMAS KOPECKY

Q.  Coach, it seems in the last couple of games that the Flyers have carried the play in the third period.  I wonder how have they been doing that, and how do you counter it?
QUENNEVILLE:  I thought we were pretty effective for the first 40 minutes.  We were pretty good at the start of the third when we scored.  Then they scored in the following shift.  I think we lost a lot of momentum there right away.  Didn't get a chance to take advantage of playing with the lead.
We spent some time in our end, not as bad as last game.  But I thought in overtime we had a couple of good looks there with a chance to end there.  It's what happens in OT.

Q. Duncan, you knew this was going to be a tough game, a must-win for Philadelphia.  They played pretty desperate hockey tonight.
DUNCAN KEITH:  Yeah, I thought it was close, though.  Could have went either way.  Give them credit, though.  They played a solid game.

Q.  Anything you could do defensively in the third period?  Because the last two games the Flyers have really taken it to you
TOMAS KOPECKY:  Play better offensively.  More we hold on to the pucks in their zone, it's going to be tougher for them to score.  I think we just have to protect the puck a little more.  Keep cycling and keep the puck -- once we get in our zone, we got to keep it simple.  Get it out.  Flips and foot races.  And we have a fast enough team to push the pace.
