Score Mobile alert says Emery will start game 1. I'm in the minority, but I like Emery more than Mason. Emery's got some Stanley-cup playoff experience, but is lacking confidence. Mason has been over-rated by the public -- which is rare for Philly goalies. Mason's first half of the season, he averaged 2.4 GAA but had a losing record. Then, he signs a contract extension, and averages 2.6 GAA over the second half, but the team bails him out with scoring. Very average goalie.
I'm surprised that the TSN pundits and majority here seem to favor the Flyers. NYR has a very balanced team: Flyers are the clear underdogs IMO.
