I have a pitch for a movie. Here it is:

...There's a team who last won a championship 35 years ago.
...A few months into the season, they are in 10th place, so they fire their coach.
...After an up-and-down season, they have to win their last game in order to make the playoffs.
...In the first round of the playoffs, they are heavy underdogs against one of their biggest rivals. (Even some big fans aren't that excited about their chances).
...They beat their rivals pretty easily, but then fall behind 3 games to none in the next round of the playoffs. Unbelievably, they win three straight elimination games, but then fall behind 3-0 in the decisive final game of the series.
...They come back from that 3-0 score to win the game and the series.
...They role through the next round of the playoffs and make it to the championship series.
...Once again, they fall behind two games to none in a series, only to come storming back to tie the series at 2-2.
...They lose Game 5 and their backs are against the wall again.

Alright...I know, it's a pretty improbable story, but that's the story of the Philadelphia Flyers season. Now, if I could write the ending, I would have the Flyers win two games in the row and win the Stanley Cup! Will that happen? We'll find out soon, but either way, it's been a great ride. GO FLYERS!!!
