WASHINGTON CAPITALS
(3)
vs.
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS (6)
| When the
Capitals clinched a playoff spot, it looked as if Alex
Ovechkin just won the Stanley Cup.
This young superstar is
filled with energy and passion, and that means trouble
for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ovechkin, Cristobal Huet
and Co. have a lot to prove and this has the making for
a fantastic playoff series. Ovie will shine in his taste
of post-season play, while Huet and Sergei Fedorov will
want to show everyone what they're made of.
In Philly, the Flyers
will need stellar goaltending if they plan on getting
past the first-round.
Martin Biron is going to
have to stand on top of his head for most of the series,
and the Flyers will need some big offensive production
from Mike Richard, Jeff Carter and Daniel Briere.
Expect the Flyers to toss
the body around, as well, and hope to intimidate the
Capitals. |
