Always the Underdogs

First it was the Caps & Alexander the Great. Then it was the Habs - the #1 seed in the NHL. Now we’re moving on to face the Pens & Sid the Kid plus Malkin, and the Flyers are still being sorely underrated.

Wtf? Srsly bbs.

You’d think by now people outside of Philly would begin to see that maybe our boys actually have a shot here. It’s not lucky bounces or refs who favor us (can  you even imagine that?) but oh hai - Philadelphia is actually good.

Who woulda thunk it!? At this time last year could anyone have seriously imagined the Flyers going to the Eastern Conference Finals in only a year?

Who cares if the Pens have Crosby, Malkin, and Hossa. We’re hardly lacking in the players who are awesome department. Danny Briere, Mike Richards, Kimmo Timonen, R.J. Umberger, Jeff Carter…do any of these names ring a bell?

Oh wow, that Fleury kid is turning out to be quite the net defender. Gee whiz, so is Marty Biron! Not to mention, a few years ago back in the AHL finals, Fleury was whooped by some of our current star players i.e. Richie and Carts, for the Calder Cup.

I know the Pens are an awesome team, I can admit it. But ya know what? So are the Flyers. And that’s the kind of awesome I revel in.
