I believe this will be an uphill battle for the Flyers who of course won't get a fair shake from the officials. That being said, the Flyers have just thoroughly dominated the second half of games against the Pens and just about everybody else this season so if they can avoid going down 2-0 every game like they're prone to do then I think they'll just be too deep and strong (even without Pronger, Briere, Meszaros, and maybe even Grossmann because of another loose Penguin knee) for the Pens down the stretch. Once Hartnell and Simmonds etc. start banging in front and in the corners the Penguins have a tendency to get stuck in their end for long periods. Plus, Jagr f*cking owns them. Look for a big series from Max too.
The Pens will definitely have their moments but as long as Bryz can at least equal Fleury and the Flyers don't give up the first 2 goals every single game the Flyers should win this in 6 or 7.
