Canadiens will have their hands full with formidable Flyers - Sportsnet.ca

The skill and depth of the Flyers against the pure speed of the Canadiens; Carter Hart against his idol, Carey Price; Alain Vigneault and Michel Therrien versus Claude Julien; Nate Thompson up against the team that traded him at the deadline; Dale Weise against the team that discarded him a year ago; two of the game’s best shutdown centres, in Sean Couturier and Phillip Danault, squaring off.

How can they not be? They just plowed through the top-three teams in the Eastern Conference like a bulldozer running through a flower patch, allowing a single goal in each of their round-robin games to secure home ice advantage through the entirety of the post-season. And this was after winning 14 of their final 18 games in the lead up to the regular season being cut short by the novel coronavirus.This was foreseeable in April of 2019, when Vigneault was hired.

Never mind Oscar Lindblom, who scored 18 points in 30 games before he was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma . He’s in remission, in the bubble and could be part of the mix before all is said and done. We needed to know if 21-year-old Carter Hart could handle the heat in his first-ever NHL post-season. So did they.So yeah. This Flyers team is a formidable opponent from top to bottom. A team that can win in every way. A skilled but gritty group that can score with the best of them and shut it down just the same.

EricEngels Habs gonna win.
