Drawing penalties doesn’t hurt. However, there’s this big belief in the eastern conference in order to get to the finals you’re gonna have to beat Florida. In order to beat Florida you’re gonna need somebody like Hathaway.
- Eklund

Exactly Ek, that is why I think this Flyers team will be a playoff team if they can get decent goaltending the rest of the way here, as they have got the past 5 games. The Flyers gave up on 14 shots on a goal to a fast and highly skilled Devils team, and blocked over 30 shots! That is the type of hockey that wins in the playoffs. The Flyers more than any other team outside of the top 6 in the Eastern conference play the right way to win late season games and playoff games.

Fantastic road win against a team that has Stanley Cup aspirations. Great week.

Two big wins this week against two top teams. This Flyers team can play with anyone with decent goaltending.

Hate it but they are winning, should raise value of players, DB still needs to sell for a good price.
- wcorvette

I am doubting he will sell anyone if this team keeps playing like this which I think they will. Can only hope a team makes DB an offer he can't refuse, like 4 1st round picks for Scotty "rainbow" Laughts.

I see you keep saying the Flyers play the right way. How so? Do other teams have the wrong blue print? There is no such thing as playing the right way as there are many definitions.

First and foremost I want to be entertained. I would have rather they lost 6-5 in an up and down game. This type of hockey is like watching paint dry. It's like watching the last 2 minutes of an NBA game for 60 minutes.

Its the type of hockey that wins in the playoffs IF you have superstars and elite players doing it. It is the type of hockey that wins when you have the energy left to play that way, not having used it all up just to get there.

Every good team will play that way if they want to win in the playoffs. The difference is the Flyers have had to do it from game one, the good teams don't. The good teams will crank it up in March and start steamrolling teams like the Flyers just like what happened last year. They will have gas in the tank and the Flyers wont.
