Im not at all disappointed about this loss..

look at the facts..


Philly wins, which means we are less likely to face New Jersey First Round, We save some energy for tommarow nite..

True,but Im also not crazy about these Flyers...even though theyre the lesser of the 2 evils.

A full health Philly squad is, IMO, more dangerous than NJ this year. Sure, Brodeur's a proven commodity, but overall, the Flyers have the guns to run for the Cup. Of course, history isn't on Buffalo's side against the Devils.

I won't at all be surprised to see a first round exit for us this year...
