Flyers to face Penguins in Finals
May 6th 2008 01:41
After the Penguins dispatched of the New York Rangers in 5 games, the Flyboys are set to meet them in the Conference Finals. Tough matchup for the Flyers, with the Penguins, I believe, being just as talented as any team in the East this year. The Flyers will come into the series as underdogs, for the third consecutive series. So...are the Penguins too talented, or are the Flyers on enough of a roll to get past Pittsburgh? What are the keys to the series?
First off, the Flyers need to stop the stars of the Penguins. Evengi Malkin and Sidney Crosby are two of the best players in the NHL, and have combined for 28 points in the playoffs thus far. Martin Biron needs to continue his fantastic play, because his counter part, Marc-Andre Fleury, has played just as well, if not better. It also wouldn't hurt if R.J. Umberger-who scored a ridiculous 8 goals in 5 games against Montreal-could continue his hot play. Overall, the Flyers have been great, but I just think Pittsburgh is too talented. I'm taking them in 6.
