Pretty much all year, we’ve seen Brian Boucher get the hard-luck loss. He gives up 2 goals, the team scores 1. If he gives up 1 goal, the team gets shut out. If he has a bad day and gives up 4 goals, the team actually scores – three goals. No matter what he does,…

While it’s still hard to believe that the Flyers have moved on to the Eastern Conference Finals, and it’s even harder to believe that they have home-ice advantage in those Conference Finals, reality says it’s happening.
