Leighton was a factor, maybe the biggest factor. It's unfortunate he was placed in that situation.

Further, if Emery didn't get hurt, I think he's still the starter here.

If Emery didn't get hurt, do you think they woulda won the cup?

I think a healthy Emery wins the cup.

No doubt. Emery would have been a good goalie here if not for the injury. The Flyers didnt think he would be able to play again and there he is playing well for Chicago this year.

I do think they win if Emery's healthy...or course, if he is healthy, I don't think they make it as low seed and maybe run into Montreal earlier and then have to face Pittsburgh or Washington.

I still think its funny how bad Columbus is...

You can tell the trade was devastating for Carter.. poor guy only has 17 points in 30 games...

I hated him as a Flyer.. but i'd like to see him do well.

I hate that Ray Emery never worked out here. When he signed here, he was a decent age and could have been a long term solution. He was handling the heat here pretty well before getting hurt.

that was a whacky season and the wackiness was crucial to their playoff success as a team in my opinion. Leighton exceeded everyone's expectations and did a phenomenal job until he didn't.

too many if's...
if he didn't get hurt would they have to wait till the last day to get into the playoffs?
if he didn't get hurt would they have had a favorable road to the cup?
Future If
if he didn't get hurt would they have drafted/signed Bob?

i don't have a feeling one way or another...

I root for the Flyers and could care less about how Carter or any former Flyers are performing on their new teams (generally speaking)

As of right now...

Columbus has the best odds at the 1st overall
Anaheim with the 2nd best odds...
Tampa Bay
Edmonton ball sucking Oilers
New York Islanders

Its amazing how bad Edmonton is every year with the amount of 1st round draft picks they've had.
