Perhaps It Is Midnight

For Cinderella as the Flyers play one of the finest defensive games I have ever seen,and AGAIN for the 3rd time shutout the Montreal Canadiens 3-0 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead back home to Philly. In the Game 3 loss,the Habs made a point to put their elite Powerplay unit in to pile on the goals. Folks remember shizz like that (Flyers returned the action today)and there's a reason the Flyers are called the Broad Street Bullies. Pronger and company absolutely suffocated the Habs today. It's hard to fathom that we're just a win away from vying for Lord Stanley's Cup.

I wouldnt get too confident just yet. Montreal has already come from a 3-1 deficit and a 3-2 deficit to win their last two series against Washington and Pittsburgh

There's a big (and big being literally) difference between Wash/Pit and Philly. The Flyers are the biggest and most physical squad that the Habs have faced this postseason. Toss in having to head back to Philly where the Habs were absolutely hammered in games 1 and 2,and it's lights out. Today absolutely deflated Montreal. I expect Philly to close it out Monday night. Hockey (like most other sports) is about matchups,and the Habs (much like the Suns in the NBA series) just can't match the size and strength of the Flyers. Props to them though-been a helluva run.

The Flyers are Eastern Conference Champions and will face the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday night in the Stanley Cup Finals. 4-2 over Monteral last night to win the series 4-1. I know we'll be a heavy underdog-again,but man oh man does this team bust it's hump to win. Biggin talked before about what a beast Mike Richards is,well this vid of the goal he netted last night is proof positive
