The playoffs are something we’re almost spoiled with as Philadelphia fans. Sure our teams always find a way to screw up in some sort of dramatic fashion on the big stage, but at least we can say they tried; except trying doesn’t explain why the Philadelphia Soul have won the most championships in Philadelphia sports since 1981 and they’ve only existed for just over 10 years.
If the Flyers fail to make the playoffs this season, it will only be the fourth time in the last 20 years they have been sent packing in early April. Overall, the Flyers have made the playoffs 40 times during 50 seasons.
