This is gonna be a great fight between 2 warriors. One thing I can say with certainty is it will either end with knockout or by decision, neither of these guys will tap.

Disagree here. Philly's balanced offensive attack makes them a threat against anyone. I'll put Richard, Briere, Gagne, Carter, Girioux, and Leino against any top 6 in the league right now. Jeff Carter should be a bigger factor should they reach the finals. Oh and their back-end are playing phenomenal. Pronger is again proving that he is a playoff warrior averaging the most minutes in the playoffs by any player. Throw in Timonen, Carle, and Coburn who are also playing great and you've got a very underrated defense. You can hate on Leighton all you want but the numbers speak for themselves. It's not like Niemi is a proven goalie. Not to discredit Chicago but Vancouver and San Jose are not playoff contenders because they both rely on one line. The finals should probably go to at least 6 games and either team can win.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I don't see how anyone can consider Halak the talk of the season when he was pulled for Carey Price half way through the series against the Caps. His performance had much more to do with all of Washington struggling to find their scoring touch, especially on the power play.
Rask on the other hand has looked stellar and the Sabres often found themselves dumbfounded against him. He's the most technically sound goalie out there and he's got nerves of steel. His lateral movement and positioning is second to none and I fully expect him to take home a few Vezinas before he's done in the NHL.
Posted in response to Jaroslav Halak is not the goaltending story of the NHL season, Tuuka Rask is!.
