Toad,
You just keep thinking this will be an easy series. Washington and most of the hockey pundits thought the Flyers would be done in 5 or 6. The overwhelming majority certainly didn't give them much chance against the #1 seed Habs. But hey, if you want think that way, be my guest. In regards to your comment about who was a tougher opponent, the Flyers and Pens play each other 8 times a year and have a rivalry going, so that automatically will mean a closer series than on the surface. The flyers by far, have beaten tougher opponents- Washington(hottest team entering the playoffs with the probable MVP) and Montreal(#1 seed with best offense and PP unit during the season). The Pens played a bunch of pushovers from Ottawa that were already playing their way out of the playoffs. And the Rangers had a virtually non-existent offense and dismal PP. Should be a close and great series to watch, none the less.
