Philly in 6

When coming up with a prediction too often people use some dopey formula to support their call. You've seen it everywhere, we've done in the past and it's still dopey. Saying "well the goalies are even but Team X's PP is better than Team Y's and I'd give the coaching edge to Team Y so..." is muddy math and excuse to make a shitty blog post.

Of course saying "Philly in 6" without any explanation is lazy.

So fuck you I'm lazy.

I'm hoping for 7 games all ending in multiple OTs. I want snipes, salt, dry rub, Motorhead and few acrobatics. I want to see multiple occasions where a team grinds an in-zone cycle through 2+ line changes. I want to see Leighton get tied up with Buff in front and have to kick out an open opportunity in desperation. I want to catch Pronger getting away with 14 counts of battery with malicious intent. I want to see Kane get popped so that his mullet is exposed. I want to see Niemi jump to trap a puck on his shoulder and get undercut by a sliding Hartnell. I want Pierre to get on the mic and blurt out "this is the best fucking game I've ever seen and I'm going to drink a beer and let the crowd watch". I want people to stop bringing up that the Flyers made it to the show on a shootout win as if it diminishes the enormity of their success. I want urgency, lockdown defense and fast-paced violence. Above all, I want to assault every dork in the New york Times Weekend commercials.
