I should note that I don't expect the Flyers to win the whole thing, first because the Pens winning 4 straight isn't implausible. Also because they'd need someone to knock off the Rangers just to get out of the EC. (Healthy Pronger and I'd like our chances though, damnit!)

But I pretty much gave up on this team years ago because, under the Clarke GM tenure, I realized they would just keep doing the same stupid shit over and over. Lavi is the best coach they've had since Keenan, and much less of a prick (at least to his own players). With the kids, Lavi and Holmgren, I feel like this team has a future for the first time since the early Lindros days.
