Forget the pundits, Snider says Flyers are playoff-bound

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Flyers chairman Ed Snider dropped by training camp Saturday in Voorhees and reiterated what he told The Inquirer recently: He thinks his team _ which most pundits predict will struggle mightily _ will make major strides.

“Quite frankly, I’m looking for big things,” Snider said during a news conference. “I think we’re going to turn things around. I think we’re going to be a playoff team this year.”

Snider said the Flyers underachieved last season, when they finished 33-31-18 _ and, inexplicably, lost their last 12 games (0-7-5) against non-playoff teams.

“That same team last year that did not make the playoffs, made the playoff the year before,” he said.
