Meltzer's Musings: 6-10-10

The Chicago Blackhawks are worthy Stanley Cup Champions. They play a tenacious forechecking style, have all kinds of depth and the core group of players is as good as you'll find in the National Hockey League. The Hawks are deep enough that they could withstand Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Toews going without a goal in the Final and Marian Hossa being held to a single tally. The Flyers w

Difference Maker

So who is the difference maker tonight? We need the Flyers to step up again tonight. This team has been resilient in coming back when they pushed into a corner. Tonight's game will show how determined this team really is. I expect a better game out of every player tonight. I also don't think Chicago can come out with the same energy that they showed in game 5. That was their pinnacle game in the series. So what does all this mean

For the Flyers to beat the Hawks tonight, they will have to back to their style of hockey.

The Wachovia Center has seen its fair share of great games this season, with the Flyers playing pretty well at home overall. Tonight will be the last game played at the Wachovia Center for the 2009-2010 season, and it is the most important. The Stanley Cup will be in Philly tonight for the first time
