Sometimes, expectations suck.After basementing and rebounding, I expected last season's post-season to be better. Yeah, it was crappy to pull the Pens in the first round. With a little better leadership - on and off the ice - the Flyers could have gone further.At least, that's my take and I'm sticking to it.What should the Flyers faithful expect for the 2009-10 season? I don't know about you, but

Good order and discipline. That's the key to victory. Everyone doing their part and not going out on their own and risking the rest of the unit.
