After tonight, it's become abundantly clear. The Flyers have brought a knife to a gun fight.
Unfortunately, while the Pens are at the top of their powers, the Flyers have been neutered by the loss of their two top defensemen. I still believe they could have competed in this series with a healthy Kimmo and Coburn, but at this point what does it matter? There's nothing left in this series, but the crying because this series is O-V-E-R. I just hope they can either win a game, or more preferably, take out Malkin or Crosby.
In any event, this was a wildly successful season. I don't think anyone expected them to get to the Eastern Conference Finals. I just can't wait to see what Holmgren does with another offseason. After what he did last year, I can only imagine what he'll do this summer.
This series is not goodbye. It is hello. I have the distinct feeling that we're going to see many more postseason runs by this team. They just have that gritty, gutty feel to me.

Biron is back to his old self, and I have had enough of Lupul and Upshall. I wouldn't be sad to see either of them go when Gagne comes back.
Ah, I can't agree with you George. Lupul and Upshall I think are gonna be part of the future.
Give it one year. I know guys can play out of their minds for a season when they first get to a team, and then slack off after that. If that's the case, then adios muchacho! Or however you spell that.
I might give Lupul some more time because of the injuries he had, but be sure not to mistake Upshall's "grit" for skill. He was a disappointment all season. The stupid penalties, the fake diving that does nothing except take him out of the play, and the little point production has soured me. There is a reason that he was a healthy scratch a few times. As for Lupul, he cannot hit the broad side of a barn when he shoots the puck.
