neither niemi nor the blackhawks dominated vancouver. But Philly isnt Vancouver. I'm just saying whoever the Hawks face in face in the Finals, could easily be the weakest opponent Chicago will face in these playoffs. One could make the argument the Flyers are better than appear, et al but, think about this: -Injury excuse? Sorry, Blackhawks actually lost more games to injuries than the Flyers - 73 to 54. -Flyers put up 88 points in the Eastern Conference, they would have finished 12th in the Western Conference also, consider, those 88 points came against predominately weaker opponents as well. -The Hawks other the hand, put up 112 points against a stronger schedule and faced far better teams in the playoffs than the Flyers. Make no mistake our Blackhawks are far better than the Flyers or Canadiens.
