It's the final week of the season and I'm back after a month off from a lot of school work. My how the Flyers' situation has changed. Two goalies shut down, seven have dressed as Flyers this season. It is a mess.
However, despite all this the Flyers miraculously are still as of today in the playoffs. The problems have been everything from an inefficient offense, poor goaltending, and now even the New York newspapers are setting the tone for this weekend's home and home with the Rangers by claiming the Flyers have locker room issues.
The way I see it, it all comes down to the following going on from here:
-The players earning the big bucks (Danny Briere, Scott Hartnell, to some extent Mike Richards) need to start earning the paycheck.
-Brian Boucher is going to have to play like Ron Hextall did in 1987.
-The forecheck must be relentless all 60 minutes of every game, players cannot be taking shifts off.
It all starts tonight, Toronto has an impressive 9-3-2 record since the Olympic break so the Flyers cannot take this game lightly.
