I am a pessimist.

 

[Doodootheclown]

Yes. Perennial 40 goal scorer Nolan Patrick will lead us to the promised land.

is that code for being a flyers fan?

 

[Spirit of 67]

Voted: Yes.

I like what you guys got going on over there. This will all depend on goaltending. If Hart can be the man, you get there I say.

In June 2007, did any of us expect to be 1 goal away from forcing game 7 in the 2010 SCF?

4 years is an eternity in sports.

 

[TheKingPin]

Voted yes. Although things will get easier in our division over that time, the Atlantic could be monstrous. Hopefully they beat up on each other. I also think Hak will not be here then. Otherwise, we aren’t getting past the conf finals.

I agree. The landscape and economics of the league certainly have changed but I wouldn't have said any "Stanley Cup window" was open in the run to the Final in 2010 or the ECF appearances in '04 and '08. All the talk about when to bring on the kids and what moves/trades Hexy should make and when we could "start" contending is great, but contending isn't quite as black and white as that. Do the Flyers have enough talent to be a Stanley Cup favorite this year or next year or the following, probably not, but not being a favorite does not mean the team can't be in the picture at the end of the season because the roster continues to improve.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

We'll make it to the second round this season, ECF finals in 19-20, and SC final in 20-21.

 

[CS]

Depends on the development of Myers/Morin, and no career-altering injuries amongst the kids.

 

[Striiker]

Definitely possible.

 

[Lotusflower]

If they play the GOOD defenseman over the bad ones then the sky's the limit. With this team though that's a huge maybe

 

[BernieParent]

is that code for being a flyers fan?

Absolutely, especially after 40 years.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I said yes but these polls are still so wishy washy. Anything can happen. Teams we think will make it won't, and teams we won't expect will. But hell yeah I voted yes!

 

[Jtown]

I said yes but these polls are still so wishy washy. Anything can happen. Teams we think will make it won't, and teams we won't expect will. But hell yeah I voted yes!

think of it as a confidence interval

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Definitely possible.

Well hakstoll does have a history of making it to the finals.

 

[Ruck Over]

I want it to happen, and if one believes a lie, it becomes the truth.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I think we will be a very good team in 4 years...but the reality is there will be better ones in the conference.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

And Konecny will lift the Cup as captain!
4-6 years!!!

 

[ItMe]

Didn't we all say we would be contenders about 3-5 years ago? Yikes

 

[Rich Nixon]

When Laviolette returns in 2021 they're gonna win the thing.

Homer built a solid team a lot different from the team right now. Not even close.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I have zero doubt.

Yes.

 

[hatcher]

Yes way better teams.

 

[magnumpi]

yes,

but they'll lose to Vegas then Seattle

And Vegas and Seattle will eventually win 4 cups each next decade.

And then the Flyers will lose 3 straight finals to the next expansion team - the Kansas City Bettmans.
