The (7) Philadelphia Flyers defeated the (8) Montreal Canadiens 4-2 tonight in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals to win the series 4 games to 1. The Flyers take on the (2) Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Blackhawks swept the (1) San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Finals. The Flyers may be a team of destiny after coming back from a 3-0 series deficit to defeat the (6) Boston Bruins in the previous round. I still think the Blackhawks are too deep and talented and will win the series. They've been playing better and better hockey throughout the playoffs. However, I don't think the Flyers should be discounted as they have been playing well too. I think it should be a good series and for those of you wondering I'll be rooting for Philadelphia. I'm not particularly a fan of either team but I think it's kind of cool that the Stanley Cup Finals will once again be featuring teams from more traditionally hockey regions. I think that is good for the game. Here's how the series schedule looks (Games 5-7 if necessary):
Game 1 -- Philadelphia at Chicago, Saturday 5/29, 6 p.m. MT (NBC)
Game 2 -- Philadelphia at Chicago, Monday 5/31, 6 p.m. MT (NBC)
Game 3 -- Chicago at Philadelphia, Wednesday 6/2, 6 p.m. MT (Versus)
Game 4 -- Chicago at Philadelphia, Friday 6/4, 6 p.m. MT (Versus)
