Philadelphia Flyers advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs

sportsMay 1, 202647328

The Philadelphia Flyers eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Flyers closed out the best-of-seven opening series and will join the other advancing teams in the second-round schedule. Advancing matters because a second-round berth gives Philadelphia a concrete path to the conference final and keeps their Stanley Cup hopes alive this postseason.

I’ll say this, whatever happens on Sunday night, it’s damned impressive that this young team has taken one of the Stanley Cup favourites to 7 games. The window is opening, just a few shortcomings to address in the roster construction, but I’m so confident HuGo can address them #GoHabsGo

Am I ready for round 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs? Some would say yes as I finally have my first dainty floral Avalanche swag after only *checks notes* 28 years 😂

A floral baseball cap with floral pinks in pinks, yellows and blues (I'm gonna guess influences of roses, peonies, forget-me-nots and maybe some hydrangena, poppies and nastis) and green leaves but with a light blue Avalanche capital letter A stylized as a mountain with a puck swooshing around and across as the cross bar in the middle of the A.
