NHL- Dallas makes it interesting; Philly on the ropes

But don’t worry; Detroit won’t let that happen in game five. Even without Franzen, the Wings are going to seal the deal on home ice. Much respect to Brendan Morrow, who is still playing with fire in his eyes after a grueling series with San Jose.
Prediction: 3-1 Detroit victory. Fight: Draper and Petersen.

The Pittsburg Penguins are going to sweep the Flyers in Philadelphia tonight. Quote me on that. Even though the East Final is wholly lopsided and not much of a contest on paper, it has been one of the most entertaining series of the entire playoffs. The Flyers may be able to outmuscle Pittsburgh, but a lack of offensive production (Briere) will ultimately seal their fate. I may not be a Flyers fan, but any team who can move from last place in 2007 to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2008 deserves a pat on the back. If only the Leafs could follow suit.
Prediction: 3-1 Pittsburgh victory. Breakaway slap shots: 2.
