Its an interesting match up for many reasons.
1) If you want to consider the regular season matchup, Montreal won all four games. However we all know, that doesnt mean anything in the playoffs. This isnt the same Montreal team that we've seen during the regular season. Boston illustrated many holes on the Montreal team.
2) The big thing, is the forecheck of Philly vs the speed of Montreal. As I've said before, Philly's back end isnt the quickest, however if Philly can dominate the forecheck and neutral zone, they will be able to neutralize Montreal's speed.
3) I think the goalies is pretty moot thus far. Price had a very bad game, whereas, Biron hasnt. However, both 'tenders proved they can win games by themselves and therefore, I dont see a clear advantage.
4) Offensively, both teams have great forwards. For me, the only difference, would be Philly doesnt seem to have injuries up front, whereas Montreal has a few.
