They had enough depth to make a run and it was close for 6 games... Were the Flyers simply the better team or were the Leafs banged up?
They just had more firepower.

I dont think it is remembering the leafs as soft as back then no team was soft. Especially when you had madmen like Tucker and Domi.hilarious how leafs fans rewrite history to always remember the leafs as being too soft.

However Philly were definitely the more physical team/played a more physcial game. I'm sure you understood what that poster ment but wanted to prove them wrong for some reason so took 'heavier' literally.
That was the series Tucker scrambled JR's marbles?
Ah yes. Barf.Kapanen's marbles. And then JR jumped on and scored the crucial game winning goal.
More Weight/Height != Playing More PhysicallyI mean, we can see the rosters right up there.
In which line or pairing matchup there would you describe the flyers as being the more physical side, other than the bottom defense pair?
More Weight/Height != Playing Physcial
I cant find any hit stats or takeaways etc that far back so I cant make a stat based arguement. Being a more heavy team doesnt mean comparing line to line and saying this one is more heavy theoretically or this one isn't. It is about a team identity and everyone buying into it and being really difficult to play against.I asked you which one of those matchups featured the flyers as "more physical". Other than that bottom pairing.

I think this thread is referring to the 2003/04 seasonNo. That series was in 2004, not 2003.
