I don't think that they don't deserve any credit for getting to where they are right now, I just don't think any team can take the Hawks 4 games with the way they're playing right now, especially Antti Niemi.
Trax, you really haven't watched Niemi much, with that statement. He's prone to collapse, and lapses in positioning.. Philly is a full half a goal a game better in net, as well, during the playoffs. Flyer netminders have also combined for the best goals against of any team.
Chi- 2.57 Goals against.
Phi- 2.07 GA
Chicago also hasn't played a team that is as defensive minded as Philadelphia. Look at Montreal- they're stymied right now, after knocking off #1 and the defending champions.
Both teams have identical scoring per game at 3.29 Goals, and a .714 win% in the playoffs.
Both teams have a penalty kill at ~86%.
Flyers have a much better power play, @24.3%.
So, given identical scoring, but a much stronger defense and goal for the Flyers, and the advantage to the Flyers on the powerplay..... Philly wins this matchup on paper.
