What team would you want the FLYERS to play in Stanley Cup Final

Still haven’t gotten over that embarrassment, and the $100 lost at the Gold Coast in LV, and me thinking it was our year.

uhhh, Islanders are eligible. Has to be a team out of the West.

I will type the way I want. If I want to reference a teams name by using capital letters I will and if I want to write this topic I will. My gosh, who are you people to tell me what to write or how to write. I mean really ?

This is a topic I ask every year, – “Hey if the FLYERS get in the Stanley Cup Finals, who would you like to play?”

Its no different than asking, – “Hey if the Phillies get to the World Series, Who do you think they will play or who do you want to play?”

If you don’t like my typing style or my topics, then don’t respond. Its like your parents told you as a kid, if you do not have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Its a fair topic, What team would you like to face in the Stanley Cup Finals ?

I like the other way.
As to is my preferred dance partner to the SCF, if I were to be asked, it would be the one that least resembles the 2010 Blackhawks.
The two teams I don’t want to see in any of the divisonal series if we were to make it are the Bruins and the Lightning.

"While it may be presumptuous to talk about the Finals, the Flyers are the best team in the East through 50 games. It is distinctly possible that they make it to the Finals. In such an event, which team from the West presents an optimal matchup?"

I like it the other way.

I don’t know the sport well enough to understand the different styles of play/systems that we would match-up to best in the west. We just don’t play them that much. But having to hear Chelsea Dagger over and over a week after the SCF whlie visiting Chicago for a relative’s wedding….give me the head of Patrick Kane on a plate. Although then it’d be all "well they’re not the same team this year…blah, blah, blah, " True, the cap watered them down and though we lost Gagne, we are in many ways stronger. Still a Cup is a Cup is a Cup. The Hawks are still, bottom line, a very worthy opponent. However beating Detroit we get 1] revenge and 2] authentic props. no matter the quality of the the team – they have Yankee/Red Sox/Lakers/Steelers like status. Winning a WS is great, but beating the Yankees would be the extra feather in the cap type of thing. Not that the Ray’s weren’t worthy opponents, they were not a fluke like the 2007 Rockies, but there’s just that little extra something when you take down the Evil Empire. While on the subject of post seasons and TB, I can’t help but draw parallels between the Rays and the Lightning in so far as with the Rockies Icarus WS performance the year before in the back of my mind, I had to make a conscious effort not to dismiss the Rays 1] using their small market past failures as a measuring stick and 2] realize that just because teams regress I couldn’t assume the interval of it’s occurrence and the amount they would regress esp. with so much young and above average talent – above average talent regresses to the mean for above average players not the average player and for any player it requires several year of data before that players true skill level can be ascertained. Lesson here is the Lightning warrants a healthy dose of concern.

I got it the first time and I still stick to my point that its February.
