Coming back from a 3-0 series deficit is impressive, but I have not been impressed with the competition the Flyers faced to become the beast in the east.
Series is as follows:
2010 STANLEY CUP FINAL
Saturday, May 29 at Chicago, 8 p.m. NBC, CBC, RDS
Monday, May 31 at Chicago, 8 p.m. NBC, CBC, RDS
Wednesday, June 2 at Philadelphia, 8 p.m. VERSUS, CBC, RDS
Friday, June 4 at Philadelphia, 8 p.m. VERSUS, CBC, RDS
*Sunday, June 6 at Chicago, 8 p.m. NBC, CBC, RDS
*Wednesday, June 9 at Philadelphia, 8 p.m. NBC, CBC, RDS
*Friday, June 11 at Chicago, 8 p.m. NBC, CBC, RDS

Personally I think the Flyers actually owe me for all of the stupid Lindros rookie cards I bought back in the day 
....
Now considering every other team the Hawks have ever lost to in the finals I have been to see the Hawks play - and I have never been to a Flyers-Hawks game ... that has to mean that the Flyers can't possibly win.
Then there is the former-Hawks factor ... whichever team has the most former Hawks always loses ... now considering the current Hawks have no actual former Hawks- but Leighton is a former Hawk ... that means Philly has to lose....
Then there is -- the Bulls never won anything while I lived in the Chicago area -and only started winning it all after I moved to KC.
The Sox only won the World Series when I was in the immigration process
And the Hawks at least made it to a Finals (but lost ) while I was in KC ... surely now living in another hemisphere has to mean .... Hawks win.
Yeah there - that is my scientific method for predicting this one.

I'll take the Hawks in 5.
Usually when these low seed make a run to the Cup, like Philly, they tend to run out of steam in the Finals. I think the Hawks have too much. And if Niemi plays like he did vs. SJ, it's over.

Playoff stats entering the series:
Blackhawks first line has 22 of their front line goals, second has 13, third has 5. Flyers first line has 19, second has 16, 3rd has 13. Depth shouldn't be much of an issue, like some have been mentioning.
Michael Leighton 6-1 1.45 GAA .945 SA%
Antti Niemi 12-4 2.33 GAA .921 SA%
Flyers defenders are +22. The Hawks defenders are +24.
Looks like it's going to be a closer series than most of you expect.

You cant just go on those numbers.
They have played different teams.

I would be saying the same thing if it were reversed, but no matter what it's still the playoffs and an average against playoff caliber opponents.

Never have been anything but a Hawks fan. Before the Hawks made it I said I wouldn't talk about who I would want them to play. For everyone/anyone who said they wanted the Flyers you got them... and Leighton. A goalie that is just as much on fire as Niemi. Give arguments that the Hawks faced San Jose and not Montreal, but regardless it is the NHL Playoffs. Regardless of seeding, a team beat another team to get where they are.
For those who completely disregard Philly because of their offense... well you may want to reconsider. This is going to be one hell of a physical series. Big hits and big goals. Philly has shown no signs of slowing... I'm not scared or even thinking we will lose the finals. But I'm definitely not going to be naive to the point of predicting a sweep just because we did so to San Jose.

I agree with this. The Flyers got to this point by beating teams with better records than they had. I still think they are no match for the Hawks especially how hot the Hawks are right now. Lets Go Hawks!!!!!!!!

Disagree. I think Washington, Pittsburgh, San Jose, and Detroit would all beat Philadelphia right now.
Halak was out of his mind against Wash and Pitt.
