I think Dallas has a chance. I am not sold on Osgood, and the Wings looked great against a slow, injured avs team. Dallas will be able to skate with the Wings, and have the edge in net. Osgood looked ordinary against the Avs.
I don't think Philly has a chance. Their forwards are good, and Umberger is on fire. But their defense is big and slow. I can see Smith, Jones, Hatcher, and Coburn getting pinned in their own zone by the Penguins forecheck. The Penguins speed is something their defense cannot handle. The same was true against the Canadiens. The Canadiens carried the play in every game, and dominated in some, but could not beat Biron. Biron is mediocre and is not going to play this well indefinitely. The series would still be going on if Price hadn't fallen apart. I don't think Fleury will be letting in goals like Price did. The Flyer's propensity for taking bad penalties will catch up with them at some point, and it might be this series.
