It was tough to stomach the 4-3 overtime loss of the Philadelphia Flyers in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals but I really enjoyed the Playoff run of this team. This team needed a shootout victory against the hated Rangers in the last game of the regular season just to get into the playoffs and they made the most of the opportunity. They were essentially playing with house money and all they did was knock out a huge rival and #2 seed (Devils), had an unbelievable comeback from being down 3-0 in the series and in Game 7 against the Bruins, and beat a hot Montreal team to make it to the Finals. They fought hard the whole time and did it all with backup goalies, both of whom were dealing with injuries. They will go down with the 1993 Phillies as teams I will remember favorably my whole life despite them not winning it all. I hope they can bring the Cup back to Philly sometime soon. Mike Richards is a tremendous captain and we have a talented team, we just need a franchise goalie and we will be unstoppable.
Thanks Flyers but now it is time to turn my attention to the US Soccer Team and the World Cup! We also have another strong Phillies team this year that will make for a fun summer of baseball watching.
