Pittsburgh at Philadelphia

Pittsburgh is down 0-2 heading to Philly, but let's not panic and say this series is over. Penguins Coach Dan Bylsma prefers to play defense with his offense, tiring the opponent's attackers in their own zone - a system that has served him extremely well since he got the job in early 2009. He has a super-talented team to work with in Sidney Crosby, Pascal Dupuis, Evgeni Malkin and James Neal, a team that finished first in the NHL in goals scored, No. 5 on the power play and No. 4 in penalty killing - and that was with Crosby playing only 22 games. How good? The Penguins are 30-12 in their last 42 overall, 17-5 in their last 22 vs. a team with a winning record and 7-1 in their last eight games as a favorite of -110 to -150. The Flyers are 11-32 in their last 43 games as a home underdog and 1-4 in their last five games following a win. When these teams meet, forget about home ice. The Penguins are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Philadelphia and the road team is 17-6 in the last 23 meetings. Play the Penguins in Game 3.
