Last 10 matches:
Not surprisingly for two teams that finished with the same number of points, the Canadiens and Flyers split their four regular-season meetings with each team winning once at home and once on the road. The Canadiens won the last one, shutting out the Flyers 1-0 in Philadelphia on April 2. The teams have met five times in the postseason, with Montreal winning three but the Flyers won the most recent matchup, upending the Canadiens in five games in the second round in 2008.The Canadiens have won despite spending a lot of time in their own zone. Not only has Jaroslav Halak made 420 saves the most of any goaltender in the playoffs but the Canadiens have blocked 320 shots in the first two rounds, an average of nearly 23 per game. Hal Gill leads all players with 54 blocks; defense partner Josh Gorges is next with 44. … Montreal is 5-0 when Halak makes 35 or more saves; 0-5 when he stops 31 or fewer shots.
Montreal was without its top defenseman, Andrei Markov, after he went down with a knee injury in the opening minutes of Game 1 against Pittsburgh. … The Flyers will be without forwards Jeff Carter (broken foot) and Ian Laperriere (brain contusion) and goaltenders Ray Emery (hip surgery) and Brian Boucher (knee) for the series.
Ever wonder what it would be like if Cinderella had to play her twin sister for the right to go to the ball? It would probably look something like this series a matchup between two teams that by now were supposed to be golfing rather than playing hockey. The Canadiens shocked the hockey world by rallying from a 3-1 series deficit to beat top-seeded Washington, then went seven games to end Pittsburgh’s dreams of a repeat championship. Yet they were upstaged by Philadelphia’s historic comeback after a five-game upset of New Jersey in the opening round, the Flyers lost the first three games to Boston, won the next three, fell behind 3-0 on the road in Game 7 and rallied for a 4-3 win. This series will decide who gets to wear the glass slipper. Live score and results will be available soon.. stay tuned.
