| lled off the 0-3 magic. And it just so happens that the Penguins and the Red Wings, the only two teams to ever blow 3-0 leads, are holding 3-0 advantages in this year's conference finals. Could it possibly happen again? Unfortunately for fans of the Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars, the answer is "not likely". The Red Wings opened their three-game edge over the Stars with a 5-2 win on Monday, and Pittsburgh gained the same lead over Philadelphia with a 4-1 decision on Tuesday night. Both the Flyers and Stars h |

VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Braydon Coburn's swollen and battered face looked much worse than the young Philadelphia Flyers defenseman said it felt. Just two days after a deflected puck caught him near his left eye, Coburn sat in front of reporters and television cameras Tuesday morning to discuss his status and what happened in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. The eye was still swollen shut, forcing him to the sideline at least for Tuesday night's home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. ``I feel fine |

VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn is doubtful for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals after taking a puck in the face on Sunday night.

There was no structural damage to his face, but the blow opened a cut that required over 50 stitches to close. The Flyers sent Coburn to an ophthalmologist on Monday for tests. ``Everything checked out OK,'' Flyers ge |
