The Flyers are slight home favorites in Game 2. It is really hard to make a case for taking Philadelphia with an NHL bet though based on what happened in Game 1. The Bruins dominated Game 1 and the Flyers had more goaltending problems.
Philadelphia Goaltending
This series is only one game old but it may already be over. The Flyers have no answers in goal. Brian Boucher got the start in Game 1 and he played poorly. Now the Flyers have an issue of who will start in Game 2. When a team doesn’t have confidence in their goalie it is tough to win and Philadelphia is in serious trouble in this series. Philadelphia head coach Peter Laviolette pulled Boucher but rookie Sergei Bobrovsky allowed two third period goals and didn’t inspire any confidence.
Revenge
The Bruins are not going to let up in this series against the Flyers. They remember what happened last year. If the Flyers are to come back in this series they will have to do it with a supreme effort. Last year the Bruins led three games to none and then lost four straight. That scenario seems extremely unlikely this time around based on how well the Bruins are playing and because of Philadelphia’s problems in goal.
