how can they not be? got into the playoffs the final day of the regular season. lose their goalie, Leighton was claim off waivers and at one point this year was considering playing in Europe. Come back from down 3-0 and now in the Stanley Cup Finals. just amazing.

scary thing is, they just keep getting deeper and deeper with key players returning from injury.

Butler is a bigger story. Flyers taking a big step up in class here. Hawks in 5.

And if they win, might be the city's last, after the fans take the celebration to the streets, it'll take Philly 30 years to rebuild that city.
