ALMOST HOME!

POSTED: Monday, May 24, 2010, 9:49 PM

We're 75 percent of the way there!

The Flyers are going to the Stanley Cup Finals.

For the first time since 1997, the Flyers will play for the big silver trophy that they have not won since 1975. The final score was Flyers 4, Montreal 2. The opponent will be the Chicago Blackhawks, who haven't won the Cup since 1961.

History will record that Jeff Carter scored the game-winner in the second period, and that captain Mike Richards had the first goal and the primary assist on Carter's decisive goal. Carter also scored into an emtpy net at the end after an outrageous effort by Richards to keep the puck alive.

    JamesTL, Will's written 10x more about the Philadelphia Union than he has about the Flyers. But suddenly it's "WE'RE" almost there. Right Will, you're a hockey fan. You wouldn't know hockey icing from cake icing.

    To all you Will Bunch haters: Puck off! Go root for the Blackhawks since it's obvious that Will IS a Flyers fan. No way you can support anything he says or stands for right?

    I for one can't believe that will would support a sport that has a shocking lack of minority representation on the ice and makes use of logos that are derogatory to Native Americans. Why do you hate minorities?

    Barack Obama offered Joe Sestak a job in order to get out of the senate primary race.
