Philadelphia Flyers (2) - Vancouver Canuks (5)

October 26, 1999

Philadelphia Flyers coach Roger Neilson has felt terrible all season and recently learned he has walking pneumonia. The play of his sleepwalking team Tuesday night couldn't have helped.

Peter Schaefer had two goals and an assist and the Vancouver Canucks scored two short-handed goals in a 5-2 victory over the Flyers, ending Philadelphia's four-game winning streak. Philadelphia goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck's streak of three consecutive shutouts also ended, but through no fault of his own. The Flyers were plagued by giveaways -- one each by Eric Lindros and John LeClair that led to goals -- and looked slow and sluggish at times against the younger, faster Canucks.

"After the first short-handed goal, our minds didn't seem to be there," said a wheezy, medicated Neilson, whose team looked nothing like the one that outscored opponents 14-2 during its four-game winning streak. "We had so many turnovers and were out of position so many times, it was crazy."
