trevluk Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The last 3 teams to beat the Flyers in the playoffs has gone on to win the Stanley Cup. The Devils could make it 4. I have been thinking that LA just wont be denied this year, but now I am not so sure. As boring as Devils hockey is, it is definitely effective and LA has not seen that style of play so far in the playoffs. It could throw them off and derail their momentum. Marty could indeed win his 4th Stanley Cup (I just threw up a little) and if he does I can only pray that he finally retires and I can say good riddance!! (I say that tongue in cheek. I have the utmost respect for him, but he has caused me waaaaay too much heartache over the years!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 it's going to be a great SCF this year imo. Even though we laid down for the Devils...never showing them close to our "A" game... they looked like a team possessed, a team on a mission. I said before the ECF it'd be the Devils in 5 because I was sure the Rags were skin deep - great goaltending + Gaborik + a small handful of maybe-goal scorers would eventually crack and that's what happened. Henrik had a bad G5 and Rusty / Callahan couldn't channel Kovalev / Messier. I give Torts credit for trying to jump-start that top line by moving Rusty there - it worked... for 1 goal. Not enough.So I don't know ... if Marty can lock it down it's going to be an exciting series. No reason Quick will fold under the pressure... so I just don't know...I'll say Devils in 6.

flyerrod Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Kudos to Marty Brodeur for once again rising to the top. I think the biggest difference between the 2 teams left is that the Kings have a better/more offense than the Devils and over a long series yet again, Marty is going to start showing his age. It certainly seems that whoever beats the Flyers goes on to win the Stanley Cup but I think the Kings will win it in a grueling overtime filled 7 game series.

sarsippius Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 You and me both. What a horrible stat to boot. I wish the Flyers would take care of business...That stat gets worse the more you think about it......the Devils have beaten the Flyers twice previously in the playoffs, 95 and 00, won the Cup both times.

AndyS Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Marty is old. He's no match for Quick.And I think that the Kings' depth will be too much for the Devils.Kings in 6 (so they can win it at home)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulin20 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The last 3 teams to beat the Flyers in the playoffs has gone on to win the Stanley Cup.Does that mean if the Flyers beat themselves that they will win the cup the next year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamo 47 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I hope the Kings win in 6. For no other reason then Hextall getting his Stanley Cup ring. While I am sure he would have preferred it as a player, it will just as impressive on his finger as an Executive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
