I'll go with the team I dislike the least. Pens in 6.

The one time I agree with a shmevil fan.

The penguins have been perfect, too perfect, in fact so perfect that it will take 7 games for them to win. I hope I am wrong. I'm not a Pens or a Flyers fan, not that there's anything wrong with that

Pens also didn't face any quality competition in the first round like the Flyers did. But oh well.

Underdog roll suits the Flyers well.

I'll give the flyers credit for the victory over the Habs, who many thought were the class of the east, but I wouldn't get too excited over the first round against the Caps. Yeah, they were the 3 seed, but just because they won their division. Although they were hot coming into the playoffs, I never considered them a quality "team". Heck they didn't make it into the playoffs until the last weekend.

I say this about the Pittsburgh Penguins: You don't have to
have the league's best players to win a Stanley Cup---just
play like the Pens are playing, good smart hockey, always
doing what you're supposed to do and that's why the Pens
have come this far. As I said in my strong points, weak points post: the Pens may not have a great defence or the
best penalty-killing, but they are the sum of their parts.
If you play hockey as its supposed to be played, you're
going to go far.

Funny, the exact same thing could be said of the Flyers. Do they have any marquee top of the league players who are going to win individual trophies? No, but they play as a team and they have incredible depth.

This is going to be a fantastic series.

all the "so called" experts taking the Pens vs. Redwings in cup finals.

I think Philly's road ends here. Pens in 6, on Philly ice.

That's ok, only two "experts" have picked the Flyers to win either of their first two series. Buccigross picked them over the Caps and Melrose picked them over the Habs.

Is it possible for the Pens to win on any other ice if it's in 6 games?
