There’s one thing this season has taught me… expect the unexpected. We filled our heads and hearts with glowing, lofty predictions that that the Flyers would go undefeated on their way to ending the long Cup drought in Philly. Pronger was the answer, Emery would be the goalie the Flyers long needed, Carter would push Ovechkin for the scoring title, etc – etc – etc Instead, we all know where things have ended up. So excuse me if the team’s recent ‘tear’ doesn’t have me doing cartwheels and exclaiming that the we’ll be sitting atop the East in a month and all thoughts of woe will be thoroughly erased. I’m just not that optimistic. This has been a great confidence stretch for the Flyers, and could very well continue for the foreseeable future.
