Yeah much different era. It'll be interesting. Habs are playing with house money with no pressure on them. Flyers are too young to feel nervous.

We'll be the underdogs during all the playoffs (however long we're in them) so there are no big expectations.

We unexpectedly made the playoffs ... anything from here is just gravy during this retooling phase. Great experience for the kids.

Hey! No Bernie Parent that year

Didn't matter ... we won the Cup 4 years in a row during that period.
Almost the whole team is in the Hall of Fame.

Aw, c’mon now. Bernie mattered. Flyers were also coming off back to back cups, plus they beat the Russians into submission. Team was no slouch

Didn't mean they were slouches, they sure weren't ... they had a few good players but they won mostly by intimidation thus The Broadstreet Bullies nickname.

The Habs put an end to that by beating them in 4 games straight with speed and skill (and also their fists when needed). They added 3 more Cups after that ... anyway it's ancient history.

oh, no doubt the Philly Flu existed then. It's long gone, now. Took decades, but they've finally put down that mantra.

bout time

Now we all worry about a completely different flu...

Yep, that type of style is now long gone ... no teams wants to waste roster spots on goons anymore. Goons have gone the way of the Dodo bird ... extinct.

Hockey GMs/Coaches have come out of the Stone Age and have seen the light. It's all about speed and skill ... if a team wants to dress a goon then they will be at a disadvantage every time he's on the ice.

The only one still pushing this poop was the dinosaur Don Cherry and now he's been fired for his stupidity (and bigotry).

Lottery is tomorrow and the plan was for round 1 to start on the 11th so Tuesday. Guess they are waiting for the final rankings and to see if it’s TO or CLB in the east to release the schedule
