The best team won. Blackhawks just plain outplayed the Flyers. But it's still quite a story, how the Flyers were one shootout goal away from not making the playoffs at all, then took it to game 6 of the finals, OT no less.

The Flyers' unwillingness to spend draft picks on goaltenders bit them in the butt again. Leighton did play very well at times, but he also allowed some really soft goals at critical times. I mean, when your team picture has 4 goalies in it, you know something's wrong!
