Geeeeesh Sugar ... you really don't want me to talk about the Flyers, do you?

Okay, I will ... just a little.

The last time the Flyers won the cup was in 1975 (they won it in '74 as well). Those were the times during the great goalie matchups ... Bernie Parent for the Flyers (considered one of the six all time best goalies by some) versus the likes of Ken Dryden (Montreal). He (Dryden) was as big as the net. Getting a puck past him involved getting him down on the ice first. As long as he was standing, nobody scored. Montreal went on to win several consecutive cups (4).

The Flyer's style of play then was the quick passing game coupled with swarming the net.

Last night was, IMHO, one of the best passing games I've seen the Flyers play in a long time.

GO FLYERS !
