The season is almost over for my Flyers. I never thought I’d be so excited to see it end in early April with no playoff hopes. I don’t agree with the Philly pundits saying they prefer this than their usual exit in the first through third rounds which was a tradition for a decade (25 years for St. Louis until last season). Despite the lack of a Stanley Cup for every run, it’s better to be a team that consistently earns one of the eight spots then loses in the playoffs along the way instead of being like Carolina. Last year’s Cup winner and now they’re chumps, again. I’ve stopped watching too because I don’t think they’ll achieve 58 points with three games remaining.
New Jersey’s GM is nuts. If the Devils can’t go all the way to the Cup games, the fault lies with the Sabres being a much better team, not the coach. Meanwhile a big thumbs up to Marty Brodeur for tying Bernie Parent’s old record of 47 wins in a season! There are two more games so there’s a chance he may beat it or the crazy GM could hold him back in preparation for the playoffs.
