I thought in 2010 we were a very good team. Maybe it was talent, maybe it was luck, maybe it was a bit of both. Our top four defense was that good but our third pair was that bad. We still managed to get by even with key players being out due to injuries at times (Carter, Gagne, Laperriere).

I didn't think Homer was that bad a GM. It takes a lot of guts to make the deals that he did. Richards and Carter were corner stone players. He promised us a hammer and brought in Pronger. Briere was unstoppable in the playoffs. Hartnell, Timonen, the Coburn deal was a steal. Richards, Carter, Lupul, Coburn, Carle, Hartnell and Upshall were all young when they were brought in with high upsides.

I don't think he's necessarily bad. I think he can make a playoff team. I don't know if he can construct a Stanley Cup winner. Kinda like how for the longest time Larry Brown could get you to the playoffs, but don't ask him to do more (I think he eventually pulled it off with Detroit).

and that 2010 team was indeed good, but c'mon, there was some luck there. The way Leighton got hot, the HUGE playoff comeback, hell, the way the got into the playoffs! Lundqvist v. Boucher in the shootout!

I thought Leighton was solid the moment we started him. We didn't even have Leighton through the entire run. To me Pronger was Pronger in the playoffs and Briere was Briere. Everyone played to the best of their ability. It is a little hard to believe the Broad Street Bullies out muscled the Big Bad Bruins though.

God help me, but I love the intensity and passion of you delinquents and malcontents -- multiple pages were devoted to the signing of Ryan White, which is a terrible yet wonderful thing

Whenever the Flyers win the Cup, it will be amazing
