[Khris Creider]

I disagree with Canes at 5, they should be 7th. But flyers get 4th

[JCresty]

Rejoice! We have collectively came to an unanimous decision (as of this far) for the first time!

[Cynical TyranT]

Def flyers here... I may even have them behind the Caps or Canes but definitely here

[mti79]

I don't know if I trust Rask for a full season.... Philly can still score, regardless of their troubles at the back end

Boston can score too + they have a better D and even if you don't trust Rask for a full season, do you trust Bryz?

[JCresty]

I thought I would share this since I live in Van I went on the Canucks board to be a looky luo. Pun.

The unknown of Rask is countered by the known of Bryzgalov. Rask has shown he can play against the best and win. He performed well in his playoff run with Boston when Thomas was hurt.

We all know what two teams this is coming down to. Can we cut to the chase, put Boston at #3 and get on with the vote between us and Pittsburgh for the top spot?

[donpaulo]

Philly does't have the horses on the blueline at this point.

[Net Front Presence]

This one's a no-brainer.. Philly.

This way its just a list.

As hockey fans we are too conditioned. We see that line and instantly see Conference standings.

Flyers for #4.

[twistedwrister17]

Philly is no higher than this. They're probably pretty overrated in this.

trouble on D and in nets?

defensive teams can limit offence.

The Flyers will lose alot of 5-3 and 6-4 games.

[darko]

Flyers

[KreiMeARiver]

Flyers. I clicked Bruins by accident. Seeing double after last night.

[GregSirico]

Philly.

[adam94]

Philly, without a doubt.
