I will be the first to say it. I wrote off Coots. I was DEAD WRONG!!!!
UR not the only one. I thought all three of them guys were toast. Didn’t think coots had anything left. thought Hath was done. didn’t get why Philly even bothered claiming luke because he looked awful with nj on a 1yr. I am glad they have found a way to help like they have
Things I want to see us do tonight
keep pressure up on letang. he was brutal for them last game
get a power play goal somehow
stay physical
keep pens bottled up in nz
better on faceoffs
finish in transition — didnt really do that on satNot a soft goal by any means. But let’s not kid ourselves. If that was a Pens goal Flyers fans would point fingers at vladdy ans certainly at Ersson if he was in net.
The biggest question… is this something they can build upon going forward, or was it just a case of a lot of things going their way? Time will tell.
It wouldn’t have been possible without collapses by Columbus and the Islanders. They still had to play .700 hockey to make it happen. None of that matters now.
Most important matchup of the Flyers/Penguins series?
Tocchet vs. Muse.
Nah. Most important matchup is Philly depth (it’s underrated) vs. Penguins star power at the top.
Despite a less than ideal roster (not to mention the traditional Christmas to TDL slump), they made it into the playoffs.
The organization gets what they want by finally getting back into the playoffs, and get a fortunate draw in Pittsburgh.

They still lack a 1C. Wings are very strong. D is fine as long as all of the top 4 stay healthy. Vladar is legit. Erss was serviceable after the Olympics. All in all, a worthy playoff team but not a contender yet.
