We interrupt the agony of Phillies fans to bring you the ecstasy of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
At least for a few hours anyhow.
I have good news and bad news for the loyal followers of the Orange and Black.
The good news is that if you want to hear lots of positives about the Flyers chances in the playoffs, you can CLICK HERE. Both of our writers who will be covering the playoffs, Rob Parent and columnist Jack McCaffery, like the Flyers in this series.
Not me.
This series is going to come down to one man: Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. If he’s on, as he has been much of this late part of the season, the Flyers have a good shot at winning the series.
If he’s off his game, as he was for the first two-thirds of the season, the Flyers will be heading for the golf course early.
I’ll say Penguins in six. Then we can set our sights back on the Phillies problems.
By that time it’s safe to say the Phils will have broken through double digits on runs scored so far in this season.
The Phils send Roy Halladay to the mound tonight against the Marlins’ Josh Johnson in a replay of his perfect game against the Marlins a couple years ago.
That’s the Phils’ problem so far this year. They need their pitchers to be perfect. Look for more of the same tonight.
