Philadelphia flyers vs chicago blackhawks

Season Tied 1-1

October 22nd: 5-4 PHI
February 25th: 4-1 CHI



Offense: Peter Forsberg and Wayne Gretzky vs Jeremy Roenick and Steve Thomas. Foppa and the Great One are the Point leaders for the current players(behind Jagr/Lemeiux), but Roenick, Chelios and Thomas are over 17 points as well. The Flyers have Renberg, Yashin and Bure at over a PPG. Top lines will be the deciding factors.
ADVATAGE: PHILADELPHIA


DEFENSE: Chicago managed to stifle the high powered offenses in the Western Conference in Colorado and Detroit with two straight sweeps allowing just 15 goals. Chris Chelios leads the way for the Hawks with Karl Dykhuis, Alexei Zhitnik and Bryan Marchment providing support. Head Coach Mike Keenan has the Hawks playing a heavy forechecking style that keeps the pressure off the blueline and goaltenders. Philadelphia is healthy and their young talented blueline is very hungry and can shut down any team. They held Lemeiux and Jagr to just eight points in their series and only two goals so their confidence is riding high.
ADVANTAGE: EVEN

GOALTENDING: Hextall has been continuing to dominate the opposing teams with a 12-1 record and a 2.33GAA and 93.4SV% with two shutouts. Jimmy Waite has surprised many with a 12-2-1 record and a 2.21GAA, 92.1SV% and three shutouts. It's Hextall's experience vs Waite's current game.
ADVANTAGE: Philadelphia


PREDICTION: FLYERS IN SIX
