reason for embarrassment over the play of his two franchises this year. The Flyers picked up where
they left off after last season's Game 6 loss to Chicago in the Stanley Cup finals Fendi Sunglasses. They spent
about two months atop the Eastern Conference standings before a last-month slump knocked them into

The Flyers start the quest for their first championship since winning the last of consecutive
Stanley Cup championships in 1975 on Thursday vs. Buffalo Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses.
"The goal for this team is always a Stanley Cup," Snider said. "When you talk about realistic

winning the Cup Ferragamo Sunglasses."
As for the Sixers, a blossoming nucleus has the franchise in the right direction toward becoming
Eastern Conference contenders. For now, the path to the NBA finals still runs through Boston, Miami
