I just hope guys like Hartnell, Giroux, and Leino are able to keep the momentum they had in the playoffs.

I agree that Niemi didn't set the world on fire with his play, but he's got a ring and he's better than what the Flyers have now. Considering he was eventually signed for $2 mil, I don't see how they wouldn't want the upgrade.
