Philadelphia:
Philadelphia is a different team than both Pittsburgh and Washington, instead of being a very offensive team Philadelphia is more of a physical team still with some scoring abilities. These two way offensive players such as Mike Richards can play physical and has scoring abilities. The game plan for the Flyers is to be very physical and to shoot the puck into the Montreal end and chase the puck. By spending a majority of the time in the Montreal end Philadelphia will wear the defence down and sooner or later score a goal. Also the Flyers are going to try their best to get traffic in front of Montreal goaltender, Jaroslav Halak, in order to put pucks in the net. Overall the Flyers are a much different team that both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals because they have the size to push the Canadiens around.
Montreal:
Montreal was “lucky” to make it past the first two rounds in my opinion as they are not that skilled and the only reason they made it this far is goalie, Jaroslav Halak. From what I have seen so far he has been amazing in the playoffs, but I believe that this series will be too much for him as he will be too tired. Also the Canadiens are very small and do not have the size that the Flyers have. I believe the Canadiens will be trapped in their end about 80% of the game and will take a lot of penalties resulting in goals. Many people are going to be cheering for the last Canadian team to make it on to the Stanley Cup Finals, but the way I see the series happening they will be packing their bags soon.
Prediction:
I think the size, grit and determination of the Flyers will force the Canadiens to play their type of game. Montreal will be taking too many penalties which will result in goals, as well as goalie Jaroslav Halak becoming fatigued. Overall the Flyers are going to be too much to handle for the last Canadian team, sending them packing.
Philadelphia wins 4-1.
