I hope you are right.

Final 5-2
Habs move on, win the series 4-3 over the Pens.

8 seed takes the 1 and 4 seeds, the President Cup winners and the Defending champs.

Flyers up 2-0 end of 2.

Bruins get 1 late to make it interesting.

2-1 Flyers. 1 minute to go.

Flyers pull it off. They win 2-1 and force a Game 7.
Bruins were up 3-0 and dominated those 3 games, and then just collapsed. FLyers are trying to pull off the near impossible, and come back from a 3-0 hole.

I will take the Bruins to win on home ice to set up an Original 6 conference final with Montreal. If the Wings had beat the Sharks, all four teams left could have been Original 6 teams and the NHL would have loved that to have an Original 6 Final to boot.

I'm rooting for Philly to pull the comeback. Not often you get to see a team make this happen. Fir some reason a Montreal Philly matchup is more interesting than Bos/Mon, though its a longtime rivalry.

In these playoffs, that doesn't mean a thing.
I wouldn't be shocked if the Habs won the Cup, really.

I think Boston pull out the win tomorrow night, and we get rivals in the ECF.

Plus, we would get to see this

Tonight we have a game 7.
6. Boston Bruins vs. 7. Philadelphia Flyers, 7:00pm Vs.
Series tied 3-3, game in Boston.

I have no idea who wins this game. This series has been so odd, and night and day. Can Philly win 4 straight and pull off the miracle? Or will Boston finally get their shit straight and win?

I have no idea who to pull for either, as I would like to see the traditional Boston-Montreal matchup. But, after last night, I'm not sure I can root for Boston.

I think Philly wins just b/c they have the momentum. You would think that would be the case in these situations, but historically it is not the way it goes. Hard to belive that Boston isn't in the midst of total self-doubt and the flyers total confidence.

It seemed like Boston had found their offensive touch there for 8 games or so, but now they've gone cold. I guess this one comes down to which goaltender can win it. Rask and Leighton are the wild cards (mostly Leighton). I haven't watched more than a period of the Flyers this playoff, but I'm picking Philly.

My friend, who bets on hockey and has made some good money from it, has no idea who takes this game. So, he resorted to what any sports fan with a PS3 would do, he simulated it on NHL Live 10 haha. Even though the goalies were different, Boston won 4-1. So, he put $100 on the Bruins haha.

Also, the line moved favoring Philly, so he bet Boston -120.

Still, I agree it will come down to the goaltenders, who are both unproven really.

Flyers can try and come back from 0-3 twice in one game.

Boston chokes away a 3-0 lead to lose the game 4-3, to complete choking away a 3-0 series lead to lose it 4-3.
