northstar91 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 This will be a great series; both are among my favorite teams to watch, combining skill and speed with physicality grit (unlike teams such as PIT and DET). I'll say it takes 7 games. I'll give the edge to the Hawks based on their scoring depth, but the Flyers' D is the X-Factor in this series.

RockmanHalo Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 It's either going to be a blowout or a battle to the wire. It's either Hawks in 4, or Flyahs in 6-7. Flyers gonna Fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kupuck19 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 BLACKHAWKS I think the Hawks talent and challenges they've prevailed through are deeper than the Flyers. Should be good, fast, and physical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrabelWrage Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I dont think phi has played anyone as skilled as chi and I predict chi in 6 I agree Philly has had an easy ride the finals plus the Blackhawks have been doing great. Sweeping the Sharks and all. I also want to see Patrick Kane win the cup he is one of my favorite young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HABS Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 hawks are the most explosive offensive team in the league. But Flyers might have the hockey gods on their side, and their fwd core is more than capable. I actually predicted Flyers to win the cup before the season started, and might have picked Chicago can't rem that. But its been a crazy ride for Flyers. They'll have to really frustrate the Hawks physically to have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrabelWrage Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 But also the Flyers had an easier run to the Playoffs. They're only real threat was the Devils. Don't get me wrong being down 3-0 in a series and coming back is impressive but I don't think they could of survived against the Caps or the Pens if faced up against them. The Habs really did most of the work in the eastern conference and Philly just beat them on Momentum. Just think all of this could be totally different if the Rangers had just beaten the Flyers in that last game. *Sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWingDevil Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah the Habs would be in the finals Can't blame them, though. The Flyers just wanted it more. Another thing we should ask is, how the hell will they manage to get Byfulgien off of Leighton's back? I read in an article on NHL.com mentioning that Brendan Shanahan proposed that the Flyers should use a lighter and quicker guy on Byfulgien instead of Carcillo to pry the puck off of him instead of just trying to outmuscle him. Personally I don't know how it would work, but so far no other team has gotten Byfulgien off the goal zone in many of his key goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaftman Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dude, are you out of your mind? I guess you think that comming back from a 3-0 defecit is easy.

RedWingDevil Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The Flyers were a little banged up too, and no one really expected that Leighton could play the way he did to shut the door on Boston's collective noses. I do not know if Phily could have done the same thing if Boucher didn't end up injured, but it's too late to ask that now, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard on the NHL network that there going to try to put Pronger on Byfulgien is Byfulgien playing on a line with Kane and Toews now? or is that just on the PP Edited May 27, 2010 by nationals1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have began either against Nashville or Vancouver. I can't remember well which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrabelWrage Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Dude, are you out of your mind? I guess you think that comming back from a 3-0 defecit is easy. What seems harder? A 3-0 deficit to the Bruins or having to advance in the playoffs by beating BOTH the Caps and Pens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flyers had an easier run to the Finals than the Habs. no question about the habs having the tougher road to the CF, but coming back from 0-3 (they had Savard back and only krejci was out from what i recall) to me is more impressive, esp considering it has been done twice in about 70 years, never been done in the NBA and only once been done in MB (Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Red Sox!) Plus Flyers had to deal with injury to their 2nd stringer only to have waiver wire guy come back and win series. Oh ya, and Jeff Carter was out most of series.

But Flyers are better, no doubt. they are underated cause most of the players didnt even bother trying during the regular season, they were all buzy with Scott Hartnell's wife Also, they are almost impossible to beat at home.

nationals1 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 just to get things all cleared up on bostons injurys I looked it up: this shouldnt be an excuse for blowing a 3-0 series lead but... they were missing three components of their team in seidnberg sturm and kriechi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaftman Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Have to check the record books but i'm pretty sure coming back from 0-3 is harder. Last I checked coming back from 3-0 has happened a few times where as an 8th seed knocking off a 1st down from 3-1 has never happened before, thus harder.
