Fans of the team that watch them every day think, "Jfc, our best F is Miroslav Satan & our best d-man is Alexei Zhitnik." Opposing fans think "holy christ we have to face Dominik Hasek in a playoff series???" Yes, Philadelphia has struggled to score runs consistently at times throughout the season, but there aren't many 12-10 shootouts in the MLB postseason. Probably the best example is the 1998-99 season, which ended with Buffalo reaching the NHL's Stanley Cup Final for the second time in franchise history. Fellow MLB contenders will hope Philadelphia misses the playoffs, which would remove one formidable team from the championship pursuit.
