That huge gulp you just heard was Flyers Nation swallowing hard after getting a dose of reality.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were not picked by most experts to win the Stanley Cup for nothing.
Here's Rob Parent's preview of tonight's Game 5 in Pittsburgh.
Here's a hint for the Flyers. Do not lose this game. To do so would set off serious Homeland Security alerts among the faithful. I guess you could say it would be Level Orange.
A loss means the Flyers would hold just a slim, one-game lead, one game away from being in a one-game series.
They don't want to do that.
They also might want to avoid their habit of falling behind in the first period. With the shellshocked nature of their goaltenders, the Flyers need someone to stop the puck. And in the process stop the bleeding.
Your Flyers Phaithful can't hold its breath much longer.
