Flyers / oilers '87 finals game 5 highlight video (5 of 7)

Following the Oilers 4-1 punishment of the Flyers in game 4. The series and the Flyers chances seemed so over that the plans for the Oilers Stanley Cup parade were already scheduled and published in the day's newspapers. Not soon after the start of the game, it looked as if those plans would come to fruition when they dented Hextall for two quick first-period goals. Although the Flyers got one back and trailed 2--1 after one period, Hextall let Edmonton's third goal of the game, a tip-in by Marty McSorley with nearly two minutes gone in the second slip between his arm and body, time was growing short. Facing the end of their season, the Flyers clawed back and tied the game, 3--3 on goals by Doug Crossman and Pelle Eklund. With almost six minutes played in the third, Propp fed Rick Tocchet in the slot for the go-ahead score. Hextall and the Flyers defense clamped down on the Oilers the rest of the way. The parade was posponed and the champaign was put away as the series was going back to Philadelphia for game 6.
