Flyers luck runs out, Pens deliver 6-0 beating to hapless Philly team – series exposes Flyers as an AHL team!
Well, it didn’t turn out to be much of a series and just as I predicted, the Flyers go out easily in 5. Philly might have won 1 or 2 periods in the whole series. When will the excuses that Flyer fans are so known for start? - like blaming the refs as an excuse for their teams poor performance?
So much for the big, tough Flyers – Hatcher is tough when he’s fighting non-fighters (like at the end of game 4) but when Laraque asks him to dance, Hatcher skates away! Flyer goonish tactics and thuggery from a classless organization and team will only get you so far, then talent (Crosby, Malkin … etc …) will win out. As for Timmonen, he didn’t matter at all - and where was Briere?
As for beating the Habs, the Flyers were lucky enough to run into a rookie tender (Price) who happened to get a bit rattled – but that won’t happen again, so Philly fans shouldn’t be gloating that their team was more fortuitous (getting all the breaks and bounces) than Montreal
