For reasons I cannot articulate or even attempt to understand, our Philadelphia Flyers have won eight in a row.
You know, there’s something to be said about confidence, a word that the Flyers have been throwing around quite a bit lately as a way to explain their improbable streak of wins. I have long said (you can check me on this) that I thought a major issue with the Flyers, beyond shoddy goaltending, was confidence. Sometimes, you need a little bit of a boost. I cannot fault anyone for that.
My advice to anyone who truly wants to see this team go to the playoffs (not sure if I relate) is to go out there and yell some nice things at them as they are eating a nice meal with their significant others, especially if their kids are there.
