Philadelphia Flyers at Toronto Maple Leafs
Philadelphia absolutely dominated and murdered Toronto in their 7 to 2 win on Sunday night. this was one of the most one-sided play off games I have ever witnessed. It's asking too much for the Flyers to put up a repeat performance, however, the one big plus going for Philadelphia is that they have taken all the momentum away from Toronto in a big way.
The Leafs may be at home and be able to feed off the home fans, but that won't be enough. The only way Toronto forces a game 7 is for a much improved performance from goaltender Eddie Belfour.
After witnessing Toronto pathetic performance in game 5 what is apparant to all who view this match up without wearing Maple Leaf tinted glasses is the fact that the Flyers are just a much more talented team with far more depth than Toronto.
If Philadelphia can't close the deal out here then game 7 will be a formality. That said though, I believe the Flyers win tonight. They have knocked and shaken the confidence and cockiness out of the Leafs and with Toronto suddenly facing elimination I see Leafs eventually becoming more frustrated and taking silly penalties if the Flyers can hang for the first period. The Leafs have gone from having all the momentum from winning games 3 and 4 to now facing elimination after being dominated. That's a tough spot to be in.
Prediction:
Philadelphia Flyers
