I just don't understand why Marty Turco played tonight.

We own the Pens. We dont own the Panthers. We ALWAYS play well against the Pens. We dont against the Panthers. We OWN them at their home rink. Panthers we dont.

Anything else?

Basically, I think the Flyers can beat these guys in the playoffs if it comes down to it. There's been worse matchups over the years that I've been more nervous about than the Rangers. I think the 0-6 record, while earned, is a bit of a fluke at the same time. Flyers have had large stretches during these games they've outplayed the Rangers.

Perhaps playing them in a series would fare differently than games spread throughout the season. the Rangers have earned their season sweep, no doubt about it, but I think it's doable (especially if it's later in the playoffs).

Or, y'know, they could lose horribly, the sky could fall, and "told you so's" could rain throughout the Philadelphia area. Whatever.

Indeed it will. NFL training camps open in about 3 months.

they "can" beat the Rangers ... but I doubt it. There's a reason they went 6 - 0.

Well they will still drop the puck if the Flyers meet the Rangers and actually play the games, correct?

Eastern conference regular season champs, let's not be so hasty as to distribute the Prince of Wales Trophy.

I think the Sabres will give them a very good series. The Caps stink.

Who on god's green earth thought the Habs would've ever beaten the Caps AND Pens a couple of years ago?

Part of the reason was terrible goaltending, which I think is pretty much in the past at this point. If the Bryz of March was playing some of those earlier games, they Flyers definitely get some points.

But the past is the past, and the Flyers didn't earn points in those games. I still think things can be different moving forward. If they do meet in the playoffs, and the Flyers win 1 of the first 2 games, this whole regular season record becomes absolutely meaningless.

910 in the post season isn't exactly Roy like. King Henry is king of the regular season

I didn't say they shouldn't play the games. I just say I doubt the Flyers would beat the Rangers. Doesn't mean they can't.

The Rangers just seem like a more complete, better balanced team to me.

So you're telling me all you need is a hot goalie to pull of the upset?
