    Philly beating Chicago would be one of the three greatest Stanley Cup Final upsets (contenders being NJ over DET in '95, NYI over PHI in '80) in the post-expansion NHL. Considering the Flyers finished 18th in the regular season standings, their goalie carousel, and the 0-3 comeback, it's safe to say a Cup victory would be the greatest underdog playoff run in the history of North American pro sports. That's pretty cool.

      Yeah, I agree. San Jose's best chances were in 2004 and 2006.

          The year Carolina won was the Sharks best chance. Oh well. I still have hope for this team, they have to resign Marleau and I am sure he would like to stay, but you never know.

            Don't forget about the fifth biggest upset in Hockey History happening in the same year. (Montreal over Washington)

              Yeah, though I don't judge the magnitude of upsets based strictly on point differential. For example, I don't believe that Habs over Caps (33 point differential) was a "bigger" upset than Sharks over Wings in 1994 (18 point differential) or even Habs over Penguins this year. To me, the greatest upset of all time was Islanders over Pittsburgh in 1993.

                Big night tonight. Probably one of the biggest, sports-wise, for me since I seriously starting following. I was just 7 when the Flyers last made the Cup Finals. Hope we can pull it off tonight, I don't even want the Habs to sniff a comeback.
                NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
                NFL - Buffalo Bills
                MLB - Cincinnati Reds

                  Only in Hockey will you see a player lose 7 teeth and than come back and play. Congrats to the Hawks.

                  3 years in a row now (assuming the Flyers beat the Habs), the NHL will get "big market/name brand" teams in the Cup Final.

                      They're getting "big market/name brand" teams anyway.

                      Last I checked though, the Habs are bigger than the Flyers.

                        Well now I think the Flyers might be able to play with the Hawks. I don't know who will win, but if Hosa loses again wow! That would truly suck for him.

                          My Blackhawks are screwed. The Flyers are peaking at the right time. For some reason, they remind me of a stronger, more talented Nashville.

                          Doc Jones, please tell me everything will be alright.

                              For some reason the first goal in that game will always stick with me. What a nice goal and big mistake by Halak.

                                Yep, it looks like they are going to kill this one too. That might be it for the Habs, they had their chance.
