Flyers 6, Montreal 4

Remember earlier when I said that I would have been happy with this season if the Flyers just finished over .500 this year? I figured we'd end up somewhere around 10th or so in the East and start building for next season. Nothing too drastic, just baby steps in getting back to respectability.

Then we made the playoffs. Didn't really see that one coming, seeing as how the Flyers did everything they could to throw it away this year. But hey, I'll take it.

Then we beat Washington. Awesome. Anything after that seven game war is a blessing, right?

And now? We just took out Montreal in five games. We're going to the Eastern Conference final, most likely against Pittsburgh. After suffering through the worst season in franchise history, the Flyers are a round away from one of the biggest worst-to-first turnarounds in sports history.

The first team since Detroit in '87 to go from worst in the league to conference finals.

And to think the Pens wanted to avoid us. HAH!

Bring it, Pittsburgh.
