Red-Hot Thrashers Sweep Flyers in Home-and-Home
NHLHS writer Dave Strehle takes a look at the Philadelphia Flyers’ weekend home-and-home series with the Atlanta Thrashers.
Heading into the weekend, the Philadelphia Flyers had to feel pretty good about things. They had just beaten the Dallas Stars 3-2 Thursday night and held their destiny in their own hands. They had tied the Ottawa Senators for fifth place and had a game in hand on both Ottawa and the Montreal Canadiens, the team that had been nipping at their heels.

Looking Back at the Canadiens’ Draft: 2000-2009
Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Washington are all Stanley Cup favorites this year. What do these teams have in common? How did they build their successful teams? Through the draft, specifically through obtaining high draft picks for multiple years. Teams like New Jersey, San Jose, and Detroit, prove that a team can win consistently and still build a solid team from within. But the common thread within all these teams is that they have all drafted well.
