You're dead on about the Flyers. They look like a team that would easily win the cup if they had better goaltending.

Except along with their grit and determination is actual amounts of fairly stacked talent!
Like just look at their "superstars"; Quick, Doughty, Kopitar, Richards, and Carter. Then look at just their normal stars; Brown, Penner, etc.
It's actually quite astonishing that basically them losing nearly 10 times this year when only allowing
1 goal has them in 8th instead of 3rd. And in the playoffs while being 29th in the league for Goals For, and one of only 2 teams under 200, with 194 (the Wild had only 177 of course!) Sutter seems to have righted their ship since his arrival, though.
