It's been very interesting lately listening to Home Ice on satellite. There have been a lot of calls on the various shows from people that adamantly deny they normally root for the Flyers, but out of the remaining series they are behind us. These are callers that, based on where they claim they are calling from; would be fans of the Wings, Nucks, etc. Even one of the hosts has admitted he likes what he sees from the Flyers. Not sure if it is all temporary since it was the Pens we eliminated; or part of a bigger shift.

But it is "scary" compared to the past, Roenick's first year comes to mind, when everyone expected us to get the cup because of the talent assembled. While there is still quite a long way to go, against a formidable adversary; it's been a nice surprise.

Not to mention that none of them really knows anything about hockey.

None of them are picking the Kings???

We need to see if TSN can bring back Maggie the Monkey and get her opinion as she did a good job vs the talking heads in the past.

Anyone picking any of these series in 5 is foolish. Hope the Flyers don't read this crap.

there are a couple more picks on that page since you took that screenshot, and one person has now picked the Kings, but still just one pick for the 'Yotes, and no one picking the Caps or Devils. Do they make up their own minds or just all sit in a room and come to a consensus? I guess looking to the network that wanted the NHL to pay to broadcast games for respectable hockey coverage is the first problem...

I want Paul the Octopus' opinion. It's the only one that matters. Of course, he's dead.
