could you have seen flyers doing what st louis is doing if the flyers had gotten lucky?
we need more than luckif the flyers had gotten lucky?
Pretty much this. We don't have the depth, we don't have the D, we don't have the experience.Um, no. St. Louis was playing really badly early this year, but they have a far more complete and experienced team. Parayko and Pietrangelo are both better than any defenseman on the Flyers. Their center depth, and overall forward depth, is terrific, despite not having any true superstars (Tarasenko, eh). Binnington has a golden horseshoe up his ass right now.
The Flyers wouldn't have made this run because they don't have the structure and their defense simply isn't good enough to compete at that level yet.
That's exactly what should be Frost's role next season. Not centering the 2nd or 3rd line like some here want/expect him to.If the Flyers had an healthy Elliott to start the season and Couts and JVR, they might have sunk in with Hart showing up in January.
But St Louis is a veteran team, Thomas is playing great, but he's on the 3rd line as an energy player, not carrying the load.
Their top 3 D-men, 29, 25, 35, next three 25, 22, 32/29
Their top 11 forwards, 27, 27, 27, 30, 26, 24, 32, 19, 30, 34, 23
No, they did that in 2010, and you can only do it once a decade.

out last finals appearance featured us playing a 6 seed in the east semis and an 8 seed in the east finals
and the SC finals ended with a guy we should have had on our team scoring the winner in our building wearing the #88
Flyers development was stagnating across the board. I'm told that coaches should get all the credit for that.
