What have I got to lose? (nothing) I figure if I can bet on the Lions during football season (thank you Hugh Jazz!!) I can certainly bet on the Wings during the hockey season.
I'll bet 2 Hopslams against 2 of your IPA or whatever you have on hand.
Holy cr@p I just saw Boston is still in it! I better start paying closer attention to the East!

Crazy games last night. I figured Tampa Bay would win (not that they looked the greatest) but I thought Boston would lose. Can't wait for the second round.

There isn't a point in time, no matter what the series is at, for Boston fans to get comfortable in the next series.
Go Flyers! I'll be at Game 1 on Saturday.
The Flyers are a big heaping pile of suck.
Funny coming from a fan of the third team in nhl history to blow a 3-0 series lead...
Good luck against the deepest team in the league on both sides of the puck. The only reason this isn't predicted as a sweep is the goaltender merry-go-round.
What everyone saw for the last couple months of the season was like a DUI on cruise control since the Flyers wrapped up a playoff spot around the Christmas time. Did you see how they played Game 7? More like the January/February and before months when they just choke slammed b*tches.
Boston won't and can't win this series so long as the Philly goaltending doesn't give up 3-0 leads in the first period on a regular basis. The Sabres were lucky to go 7 games. Boston is a better team than the Sabres, but the Flyers got their mojo back with the last 3 games of that series, particularly game 7.
Flyers in 6.
Buffalo isn't that deep of a team. I think the Flyers are going to have a much tougher time with Boston.
Maybe so, but Boston took 7 games to beat a very average Montreal team who had next to no offense. Boston scored 0, yes 0 power play goals on 21 chances. Flyers scored 22 goals in their series and 2 of those games they lost by a shutout. That's 4.4 goals per game in the games they scored at least 1.
Buffalo was a team possessed. They had an extremely hot finish to the season and carried that momentum into the playoffs. They got some lucky wins behind a goaltender who had a horseshoe up his a$$ and they certainly got the benefit of the doubt from the officiating.
Boston is a bigger, stronger team than Buffalo, but I think the disparity between the competition each team faced is vastly greater for Boston, meaning the quality of Philly as an opponent is a greater step compared to Montreal than what Philly will face when they take on Boston.
Philly has scored more even strength goals than anyone in the East. Montreal's offense was garbage. Boston didn't have a power play in the first round. The penalty kills for both teams are within a few tenths of a point.
Philly will only get stronger with the increase in Pronger's minutes.
Nah... Flyers suck
For all the talk about goaltending, Boosh Bag has better numbers than Tim Thomas. Go figure.
We'll see.

Boucher played poorly for all of 3 minutes against Buffalo. I wanted Boucher to start the playoffs. He's the definition of a serviceable goaltender. Does he let in a softie every now and then, of course. But I have complete confidence in him and the Flyers have always played great in front of him.
This will be a great series, should see a lot of physicality as soon as the puck drops.
MVP of the series will be Giroux.

My thoughts exactly. Having Pronger back makes all the difference in the world with this team. If they continue playing the way they did in Game 7, I don't see a team in the league stopping them.
Can't wait until Saturday!

Easily the most overrated player in the NHL = Chris Pronger
When every team that can afford to pay you lines up for your services...that kind of means you're not overrated, quite the opposite actually.
Then how come no one team has ever kept him that long??
Also add to that the dirtiest player in hockey. Look at all the hits that everyone makes him famous for, and they are all blind side or to the head.
Well... You can't really blame him for that. It must be tough being such a small guy in the NHL. It would be a lot easier for him to have some sack if he was decent size.

He's been to finals 3 of 6 years post lockout winning once. Number one defenseman on any team in the league. I'd be mad he wasn't on my team too.

Who Chara? Yeah, I agree.
Wow, Really??
Lidstrom has been to the Finals 6 seasons and took the cup home to Sweden 4 of those seasons. As a matter of fact, he's never NOT been in the playoffs s his entire career.
Lidstrom has won the Norris trophy 6 times in his career, compared to Pronger's single entry.
I really like Madonna's records, but I'm not going to proclaim her the greatest female artist in history...
