I think this has the makings to be a great series. I think it's gonna go 7 and the B's will have an extra edge to them this year to win this one.

Bruins will win this one just out of revenge, but until they get rid of Julien, they are too soft to win it all.

You know where I stand....

Hey Jig, check your messages...

It's gonna be a barn burner.

Totally agree...check your messages, you're on.

Old time hockey...eh?

bruins in 6.

Friendly wager Bilgerat or any other Flyers fan? I change my avatar to a Flyers logo for the remainder of the Stanley Cup playoffs if you change to a B's?

I think the bruins can win the series IF they create opportunity's on the power play. Going 0 for 21 is unacceptable. I also think they are better than they looked against Montreal, its always been a tough match-up.

You're on.

I have no dog in this battle, As an outsider with an unbiased opinion I'm looking at the goaltending and see the Bruins with the edge.

Boston in 6

Bruins in 5

Bruins in 3! The NHL will be forced to invoke the little known mercy rule.

I think you need to go lay down for a while. The heat must have gotten to you...

Gotta love the cult following the B's have, Bilgerat. They are all die hard fans. BTW, the B's have an owner on the trading block, you guys want to pick up a guy they call Jacobs? We'll take no compensation.

Cult following...heheheh...no different here. Many former Flyers, Phillies and Eagle players stay in the area here after their careers are over. The Flyers players are by far the most approachable, followed by the Phillies. Most of the football and basketball players here wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire. Walk up to any current or former Flyer and they'll talk with you and give your kid an autograph without shaking you down for $40. Every year the Flyers host the "Flyers Wives Fight for Lives" charity carnival at the Wachovia Center. It's a sellout every year. Middle age women around here are some of the most rabid Flyers fans I've ever seen. Talking hockey with a knowledgeable 55 year old housewife....only in Philly

Flyers, unless Thomas is incredible. Or Boucher is incredibly bad, which I don't see happening.... The Flyers did just have to play against Miller, so if they can deal with him, I think Thomas is do-able.

Jigfishing, you are funny.

Flyers in 5,6 at most.

I hope the Flyers wrap it up in Boston if they don't sweep the series.

My heart says B's in 6. But if I were in Vegas, my money would say Flyers in 7.

You're overlooking the difference in the teams in front of the goaltenders. If Miller had Boston's D, the Sabres would have won that series. As it is they came darn close, even though they couldn't clear the zone and constantly left guys alone in front of the net.

Game 1 goes to the Bruins - 7-3.

Flyers will make the adjustments and the Bruins will look to keep it rolling.

This game went the opposite of what I expected.

The Boston D really got involved in the Offense and It payed off. If they keep that up they might start getting burned . . . . .

I agree A-Jay, the Flyers will not want to go to Boston down 2-0. I see them coming out smokin in game 2 and their fans will be charged up. This series will be nothing like game 1. It's gonna be a great series.

All I know is unless the Flyers handle rebounds and loose pucks better, they're gonna have a tough time.

Some of Laviolette's matchups against the B's lines had me scratching my head.

Don't even get me started on rattled goaltenders...

BUT, gotta give the B's their due, they played a good game. Having Thomas between the pipes makes it that much tougher on us.

The Flyers are starting Boucher in goal again for game 2 tonight. This should make Philly fans happy because he's the best net minder they have.

This should also make Boston fan happy for, well pretty much the same reason . . . .

I literally had milk coming out of my nose and I wasn't even drinking any after reading this. Thanks for the laugh
