Giroux on Elliott's bounce-back game: 'For all you doubters out there, there you go'

Don't rule out the Philadelphia Flyers just yet.

After being blown out 7-0 by the Pittsburgh Penguins in a very lopsided Game 1, the club rallied with a commanding 5-1 win of their own Friday night thanks largely to an incredible bounce-back performance from goaltender Brian Elliott.

After giving up five goals on 19 shots in Game 1, the 33-year-old was stellar in Game 2, making 34 saves on 35 shots. The performance had captain Claude Giroux questioning those who had doubted Elliott after the series opener.

"For all you doubters out there, there you go," Giroux said referring to Elliott, according to NHL.com's Dan Rosen.

Meanwhile, after his side's reversal in fortunes, head coach Dave Hakstol suggested the series has now changed entirely.

"I said it coming in: Nobody is really giving us a serious chance in this series. I don't know if anybody still will," Hakstol said. "But I know this, we just got it down to a five-game series and we introduced ourselves into this series tonight."

With the win, the Flyers have now snatched home-ice advantage from the Penguins, and on Sunday will get the chance to complete the series turnaround.
