The game was played under a cloud of sorrow, with Flyers’ right winger Tim Kerr learning the day before that his wife had died of complications from childbirth. Kathleen Kerr had given birth to a healthy baby girl on October 6 but later developed a pelvic infection.
“The best thing for us is to let our emotions get into the game,” said Flyers captain Rob Sutter. And that the Flyers did, rolling up a 4-0 lead through two periods and denying the Penguins on all seven of their powerplay chances. The Penguins held a moment of silence before the game. “Mr. [Craig] Patrick and the Pittsburgh Penguins showed a tremendous amount of class and respect with that they did,” said Sutter.
