MTL plays to Bostons weaknesses, Philly plays to their strengths. I'm expecting a much more entertaining series where the boys can play their game without second guessing every play.
Our team is healthy and stacked, I'm not worried about this past series with MTL, we always suck against them but do good against everyone else. MTL was the worst match up we could have had and we got them out of the way.
Bring on the Flyers, Bruins in 6.
Im in a similar boat. Their goaltending is so god awful and I think we match up well with the flyers. I think the Bs can and will win that series.
Why? Their goaltending sucks. In fact, all three other teams in the East have unreliable goalies left, I like our chances go get to the Finals.
But, our PP sucks. Gonna be tough.

the third line played great in the series but I would love to see two real scoring lines and a traditional checking line...but it's working now so if it ain't broke don't fix it right
if you guys want any chance of winning this series, you have to do a couple of things..
1. shutdown briere and philly's powerful offense
2. thomas has to be on his game 24/7
3.B's offense must break through tough philly defense and pepper their weak goaltending with quality chances.

You do realize that its basically the same goaltending that was involved in the series last season which the bruins became a part of history and not in the good way.
At the start of the playoffs Boston was a matchup I didn't want but after watching your series against Montreal, Boston doesn't strike much fear, and as bad as Boucher has been, Thomas has looked VERY beatable. The flyers beat Miller and should have no problem against a lesser goalie in Thomas
