where they should have played Philly if it was one versus eight in the first round, and then they should be playing Montreal right now, which would be a much more difficult test.

To their credit, they're not giving up anything.

They never get scored on.

Freddie Anderson's been outstanding, and they steamrolled through Ottawa, and they're steamrolling through Philly.

But this is the other end of it.

We always focus on, I can't believe these two teams have to meet, and Carolina's sitting there saying, give me Philly in the second round.

Like they are demolishing Philly because Philly's not even close to being ready for that opportunity.

Now they get to the conference final all the time and fade.

Yeah, they generally get beat up pretty badly once they get there.

It wasn't four in a row.

We'll see.

Yeah, exactly.

Again, Philly, to their credit, this has been a miracle year for them.

They're in the second round.

No one saw that coming six months ago.

Right.

of course Carolina's going to beat them.

There's no way, in my opinion, Philly was going to push them.

Ottawa, I thought, would, and they didn't in the end.

I thought Ottawa would put up a better fight.
