Oh yeah and we don't have a career minor league goalie in net for us either. Instead, it's more like '87 when we had rookie Hexy carry us to game 7 of the Finals and win the Conn Smythe vs. the stacked Oilers and Gretzky.

I don't know why some of you are even fans of this team. You hate every player on the team and every decision the GM or coach makes...Lol

We're actually in a great position right now when the season resumes.

Our pristine record of 18-5-1 since January 11th has guaranteed us a top four seed and given us a legitimate shot at the number one overall seed, which even without fans, is still valuable in hockey due to the last change.

We're very much a young, hungry team, but also still have a lot of veteran leadership and guys that know how to compete for the Cup. Niskanen has won it and played in 125 playoff games along the way. Guys like Braun, Thompson, Elliott, Hayes, Voracek and even Couturier bring a lot of playoff experience to the table too.

I just watched game 6 (and game 3, which I attended) of the 2010 Cup Finals again. Honestly, if not for Michael Leighton, Giroux and JvR probably would've had their names on the Cup after that series. The goals he gave up in game 6 were terrible, especially the Cup-clincher to Kane. You'll probably never see a softer goal win a Cup.

That would change the narrative on Giroux and JvR significantly to this day.

I remember exactly where I was when Leighton gave up that Cup clinching goal. Was an amazing story for the Flyers right up to that goal.

JVR's game was suited for 2010... and I was pissed when he got traded away. His game is not suited for now - IMHO

Good times. Flyers should be in a great spot for seedings and a run for the cup. I'm excited to get this going. Hope everyone is doing well and being safe.

That was one hell of a team, aside from our goalies. We had Richards, Carter, Briere, Giroux, Hartnell, JvR, Gagne, Pronger, Timonen and Coburn. Ville Leino had 21 points in 19 playoffs games during that run for God's sake. Matt Carle had 13 points in 23 playoff games on defense.

All good here hope you and the family are safe also. We should be happy just to get the season going again and the cherry on top is having a good seeding and make a run for the cup.

Pretty impressive from the 'main stream". Flyers "up" to 10/1 odds on the cup in Vegas. Believe the year started at 40/1. Just counting the days
I wanted to get them at 40-1. It wasnt that long ago where we were still 40-1 but i never made over to Atlantic city to place the bet. Ill just have to enjoy the playoffs with no money on the line. I hope its a long playoff run.
