Aftermath
Four months later, the Flyers and Bruins would meet in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, marking the second straight year that the two teams that faced each other in the Winter Classic met in the postseason. The Flyers defeated the Bruins in dramatic fashion rallying from a 3 games to none deficit to win the series becoming the third team in NHL history and the fourth in pro sports history to accomplish this feat. The other three teams to rally from a 3 games to none deficit to win a playoff series were the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942, the New York Islanders in 1975, and the Boston Red Sox in 2004. The Flyers would eventually advance to the Stanley Cup Final but lost in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks.
