What if the Flyers had stayed the course with Bobrovsky?

Take, for example, Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who as of Saturday night had the Panthers within one win of advancing to the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. You might recall the Russian netminder began his hockey career with the Flyers way back in the fall of 2010. Philadelphia had made it to the 2010 Stanley Cup Final that spring and forced Chicago to an overtime Game 6 before conceding the title to the Blackhawks. Goaltending might have been a deciding factor, as the Flyers used a platoon of Michael Leighton and Brian Boucher, while Chicago stuck with Antti Niemi.
