LOL I eager to see what's gonna happen with Hossa in the final again, this guy's a curse. :-D It would become a NHL record for the most Stanley Cup final without wining it. :-p

Blah... jumping around from team to team just to win, I think Hossa deserves the curse.

Real men work for their success.

What's going to be the best matchup in this series?

Personally, I look forward to Byfulgien meeting Pronger.

Only five games against each other since the lockout, first playoff series since 1971, Niemi has never faced this team, etc. There are quite a few interesting variables.

I'm going to say Hawks win the first two, Flyers win the next three, Hawks win to force the seventh game, and then the Flyers take the Cup home with a 4-2 victory. 5-2 if they get the empty netter.

You're right Stinson but I really like Toews and that's tearing me apart, I don't really want either Hossa to win it and I know Toews would got others chances to win.....oups, Hossa is sign for 9 more years. :-p

Keith got 4 teeths at the bottom and 3 at the top, it's wider than Price's five holes. :-D

I also would live to see the Byfuglien vs. Pronger matchup. If Pronger was a forward, I would say that they will drop the gloves in the series, however, because Pronger a defenseman, I don't see that happening.

The Hawks will win game 1, with the Flyers winning games 2 and 3. After that the series will be all Hawks and they'll win the series in 6.

Even if they lose in 4 you don't have to be ashamed of them at all. Everybody wasn't expecting them here at all, it sucks to lose the Cup though but at least they're the Cinderella team. :-D

Yeah, I don't know if any Flyers fan can really be mad if we lose. Considering our entrance to the playoffs - a shootout win - we've beaten many odds and expectations since then.

It'd still be nice to top it off with a Cup win, of course. ;)

Well.... it's sure nice to see Pronger give Byfuglien a taste of his own medicine :-D Shoe is on the other foot when he's the one getting knocked around and interfered with instead him doing it to the goalie !

The Pronger I thought was in the NHL now returned last night. For Philly's sake they better hope it is the only visit the too slow, too old, too dumb guy makes for the rest of the season.
