from Sam Donnellon of the Philadelphia Daily News,
But you win championships not only because of what your stars do, but because you get big moments from guys like Matt Stairs and Geoff Jenkins and Jamie Moyer.
The Flyers do not have one player among the top 20 scorers. Three of them though are among the NHL’s top dozen in plus-minus. And when James van Riemsdyk banged in a rebound for the fifth goal in last night’s pummeling of the Senators, he became the ninth Flyer this season with 10 or more goals.
The Flyers have scored the most goals in the NHL and have a better goal differential than any team but Boston. They haven’t been in first place overall in the NHL this late in the season since 1984-85, when they finished the season with the best point total and lost in the Stanley Cup finals to Edmonton.
They have “swagger,” said Pronger, that “confidence that you can win every night.
“There are a lot of teams of which you can say that they don’t. Maybe we can keep it close. Maybe we can squeak one out.”
