CanAm1 CanAm1:
unfortunately Philly is all talk no smack right now. I am looking forward to a high scoring finals between the two best offenses in the league. Should be alot of scoring and alot of monkey business. Go Pens! I can't stand the "Dread Things" (Red Wings).
Wouldn't mind seeing a Nova Scotia Boy raise the cup and bring it home to Halifax, Dartmouth. Doesn't get to the Maritimes very often.
I am also sick of seeing Detroit outspend and buying an attempt at a cup. ala the Red Sox/Yankees type organizations. Although I gotta say Pitts has spent some whoppers on the team they have now too. Oh well I guess I can't be mad at Detroit. They sure do draft well.
Sorry Newfette, your gonna have to wait until next year like us Habs fans.
ok I'm not making excuses here but this is how i look at the situation.
philly has taken some pretty brutal random injuries. and yeah I'm sad that by the looks of it they are goona get swept at home and thats not cool... but this is conference finals. last yeah they finished 30th.. that's a pretty nice improvement.
in Feb when they lost 10 straight.. no one expected them to make the playoffs, then everyone (except maggie the monkey) expected them to make it past washington. and the same with montreal.
I'm really proud of them, and i'm proud to be a Flyers fan.
I think they are making some remarkable steps to be a contender. we FINALLY have a decent goaltender and everything else will fall into place they really need to work on their defence though
but I'm hopeful and yeah I'm pouty today and I will be for a few days after they get knocked out (eventhough a part of me if holding tight to the fact that there is STILL 4 games left.. lol) but it a much better result then last year and hey I still lasted longer then any of my friends team so I'm ok with that
