    Im not surprised that the Flyers are playing well (Philly dominated the season series vs. N.J.)...but i am disappointed with the way the Devils are playing. It just doesn't look like they want it! I mean, they had a great season, and they seem to be just throwing it all away! The Flyers play a physical game and i think they are just out muscling New Jersey. And when Daniel f*cken Carcillo starts scoring big goals and stepping up...you know the Devils are in trouble. Also the Kovalchuk experiment has been a complete failure...he just doesn't fit well in coach Lermaies system.

    However i think the Devils win game 5 on Marty's shoulders...but one man can only do so much as the Flyers take the series in game 6...Seriously though...the Devils haven't won a playoff series since 2007, and that was against a 7th seeded Tampa Bay team. I think the Devils are the San Jose Sharks of the East...great seasons...terrible playoffs.

    Philadelphia has had the Devils number all year long, It's just they know how to beat New Jersey this year. They understand how to beat the trap, and get at Martin Brodeur.

    They are also effectively eliminating Ilya Kovalchuk, Zach Parise, Travis Zajac and all the other snipers for Jersey.

    Simply well played series for Philly, let's see if they can finish them off in the next 3 games.

    Because Broduer has past his prime and the Flyers are on Fire and the Flyers will win Game 6 If not Game 5 either way the Flyers will win this series and Advance to the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup playoffs
