Carnac the Guru: I'll Make This Short and Sweet

By Hockey Guru


Eastern Conference Finals, Game 5:

Having revised his prediction for this series to the Flyers in 5, the Guru sees no reason to deviate now. Everything that has taken place to this point indicates that Montreal's defense will not be able to shut down the Flyers.

There will be a desperation in Philadelphia tonight, but surprisingly, much of it will be sweating out of (and wicking away from, thanks to RBK) the orange uniforms.

Montreal, having lived through two previous comebacks and going 5-0 in elimination games, will create a fear for the Flyers that losing tonight would be like losing the series.

With that desperation, the Flyers will win a close game, by a 2-1 score.

Both of the Conference Finals series this year will prove to be short (and sweet for fans of the 'Hawks and Flyers).

Let the Stanley Cup Finals begin!
