Game 7: Philadelphia 1 @ NY Rangers 2. Rangers win the series 4-3.

Flyers in 7. I am going to take the lower seed in this series. After a tough start to the year, Philly turned it around and has been playing some great hockey. Canada won the gold medal without him so things worked out well, but I still can't believe Claude Giroux wasn't on that team! One of the best players in the game. I think this will be a real physical series with a lot of pushing and shoving between whistles. Philly is a relatively young team and while the Rangers have the advantage in net, I think Philly will pull it out in a hard fought series.

Predictions? Thoughts on the series?

Flyers win this series. They seemed to have gotten on a roll at the right time.

Flyers in 6....just a gut feeling and i cannot stand the friggin Rangers.

Flyers in 5. I have them getting at least to the conference finals, and should give Boston a lot of trouble getting to the finals.

Giroux is going to play like a man possessed after being passed over for Team Canada. He's been the best player in 2014, and I don't see that changing in the playoffs.

This series will go 7 games and will be a doozy to watch. Coin toss for me.

Rangers in 7.

Rangers in 6, Lundqvist is in a different league than Mason

Great series and a real tough one to call.

I say it is a pick'em and give the advantage to the Rangers because of home ice.
