     I hate to come right out and say it, but I believe that the Flyers
are, by far, the best team in the NHL this year.  At last, they are
starting to play like it.  I was at the Pittsburgh game (Flyers won,
11-4) and the Flyers really started to pick up steam.  I was surprised
to find the Flyers playing even harder against the Pens than they did
in their previous three games (1 win over the Isles and 2 straight over
the Caps).  Good luck to the rest of the league in the playoffs (cause
they're going to need it).

PS:  I was not impressed with Lemieux's play that night, however, Brad
     Marsh was clinging to him like a body suit all night and Rich and
     Ron Sutter were all over him, too.  Once Kerr gets back, the Flyers
     should take the league by storm.  Add to that the outstanding goal-
     tending of Pelle Lindburgh and Bob Froese and you have one tremendous,
     young team.
