They're not dead yet! In yet another game decided by just one goal, the Flyers won Game 3 against the Blackhawks after Claude Giroux tipped a goal past Antii Niemi in overtime. The 4-3 win cut the Blackhawks lead in the series down to 2 games to 1 and got the Flyers right back in the series with their first win in the Stanley Cup Finals in 23 years.

Game 3 was just more proof that the Flyers play their best with their backs against the wall. Facing what was essentially a must-win game, the Flyers showed poise throughout the game and even managed to score twice in overtime if it wasn't for a quick whistle. They key word with this team in resiliency; they aren't going to give up the Cup without a fight.

This series is clearly between two very evenly matched teams that are fighting tooth and nail to win each and every game. With each game in the series being decided by one goal so far, it's a pretty safe bet we've got a few more exciting games ahead.

Here's video of the OT winner so you can re-watch it in all its glory:
