Flyboys

I can’t be too upset with a series loss when you are so clearly the inferior team. The Flyers had a great playoff run, exceeding all expectations. I mean, the conference finals? That’s terrific. Along the way they beat the #1 and # seeds. Unfortunately, they also had to play the #2 team. In fact, the entire season has to be considered a marked success over last year’s dismal last place finish.

 

The future is encouraging, as this analysis correctly states. Biron proved himself in goal and as my friend the “Big O” points out, they have Bobbie Clark, Jr. in the play and leadership of Mike Richards.

 

But the Pens are a young team and the Caps are similarly young and improving too. So the Flyers can’t just stand pat and let these guys further develop. They need some upgrades, particularly on defense
