The Happy Apologist is a Bandwagon Fan
You heard it here first. I will be the first to admit to jumping on the Flyers bandwagon. I used to really follow hockey, but haven't given it much time over the past 7 or 8 years. Basically, I wait around for the playoffs to start before I even watch a full game.
I think I watched about most of the first series against the Devils, but not every game. I mean come on. This is a team that was coasting to a 4th or 5th seed with 3 weeks left and then . . . BAM! Couldn't win a period let alone a full game. You want to talk about backing into the playoffs? It took them a shootout in their final game in order to make the 7th seed. So I wasn't going to start rooting heavily until they got into the second round.
Which they did. And then promptly lost 3 straight games to the Bruins. Talk about killing your buzz. But I stuck with them and watched the 4th game. Nice. Then I watched them claw back to 3-2. And then the talk started about no one (well, hardly anyone) ever coming back from being down 0-3. So what did they do? Won the third game at home sending things back to Boston.
At this point I'm extremely wary. This is Philadelphia after all. So of course they go down 0-3 in the first. But I'm really not thinking the game's done yet. I think, heck - all they gotta do is get one back before the first intermission. And they do! Then tie it up in the second. And then the win.
THIS TEAM CAME BACK FROM BEING DOWN 0-3 TWICE!!!
You have to admit that is exceptionally cool. So they cruise into the current series with the Habs, go up 2-0, and now lead 3-1. I don't know if they'll be able to finish things off and win the cup, but this (bandwagon) fan can't wait to watch and find out.
Go Flyers!

And now on to the Stanley Cup Finals. Go Flyers!
I quit watching hockey cold turkey 8-10 yrs ago after they lost that series to the Devils after being up 3 games to 1. It was also the series where Lindros obtaines his last concussion as a Flyer. Haven't missed it a bit.
That said, I admire and respect the heck out of these guys for what they've accomplished. coming back from 3-0 in a series and 3 goals down in a game 7 is really something. Good luck. Hope they can pull it off !!
