They brought up Denver Barkie and Alex Bump during the second half of the season.

Porter Martone comes in from Michigan State.

If they get to the Frozen Four, do the Flyers even make the playoffs?

Because he wouldn't have joined the team when he did and had such a big effect down the stretch.

You look at the goaltending from Dan Vladar.

Tyson Forster coming back.

He missed

a good portion of the season, missed 49 games, and they did not necessarily expect him to come back during the regular season.

He did with about eight games remaining and scored some big goals.

So I think those players all provided a lift, both on the score sheet, in the locker room, on the bench, on the ice.

And then once the playoffs started, they got on a roll.

They had won their last three regular season games.

They won the first three of the series.

And like I said, Ladar was outstanding.

Their defenseman,

led by the top combination of Ristolainen and Sanheim.

And then you had Drysdale and York.

Sealer scored a big goal, a game-winner earlier in the series.

And up front, they had balance.

And the fourth line was outstanding.
