These teams played 6 games against each other this season and were separated by one goal and that's not counting Pittsburgh's shootout winner. Looking back to last year's Eastern Conference Final, the Pens beat an injury-riddled Flyers team in five and that is not going to be the case in this round. The Flyers are excellent on special teams, they had the 6th best power play unit this year and are dangerous shothanded. The Pens outscored the Flyers during even man chances. The only question for Philly is goaltending which has been lukewarm - sometimes good, other times terrible. Looks like Biron is starting in net tonight for them, with Fleury in for the Penguins. This will likely go 6 games and some are predicting a full seven game series. The consensus is that Pittsburgh will prevail but my prediction? To quote Mr T in Rocky III: "Pain."
