it won't be the star players that put the flyers over the top, it has to be the role guys if they want to win in the playoffs. look at scuderi, talbot, and fedotenko, what they did in the playoffs. have the flyers done anything to show us that they can overcome adversity? look at how they crumbled and gave away home ice at the end of the year. when the pens went down 3-0 against philly in game six, lost game six against washington, and got crushed in game 5 in detroit, they came together and rebounded. their team unit defeated a team that had more talent on paper, detroit. can the flyers do that? possibly, but they have yet to show the resolve that is needed to win the cup.
sometimes i think that the flyers would do a lot better if their fans cheered them on more instead of just constantly ragging the other team. we all saw how "crosby sucks" worked out.
