Flyers Are A Better Team

from Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News,
To me, the team that improved itself while also ensuring jersey sales will skyrocket is Philadelphia. Goaltender Ray Emery and defenseman Chris Pronger represent everything Flyers hockey has been known for – surliness, physicality and questionable netminding (ba-dum-ching!). Seriously though, I’ve always liked Emery and think he got a bad rap from crusty old media types and, likely, the local authorities more often than not. Razor’s no saint, but he’s no devil, either.
Emery already boasts something no other recent Philly goalie can, which is an appearance in the Stanley Cup final. True, his Sens were unceremoniously dumped in five games by the Anaheim Ducks in that series, but it was hardly his fault. The Ducks didn’t score more than three goals in any game until the final contest, at which point the conclusion was more than foregone.
As for Pronger, his reputation speaks for itself…
