Ok And-O- here comes the "Bonk-Test". Peter Forberg is the most dominant Center the habs have faced yet this year physically (even Lindros is not in the same class). If, as And-0 states, we are woefully small and undermanned at Center (see Koivu, See Ribiero) and if Bonk is the answer to counter said massiveness, the proof will be in the pudding tomorrow night. If CJ plays Bonk against Forsberg tomorrow it will be interesting to see how the size on size thing goes. I am not convinced that will be the matchup. Jules has been putting the number one line against the number one line for the most part this year and it has been working. Firepower vs Firepower. I pray he does not do that tomorrow night. Not because I do not think Saks can do it. But because every time Forsberg has any sort of success methinks And-O wilst feed thee with a heeping plate of crow.
GO HABS GO (I HATE Bobby Clarke)

I'm not sure that the matchup of centers will be the key to the win against Philly. I think it is more likely the goaltending matchup will win this game. Which goaltender will be able to make the key save at the right time?
It's gonna be on TV over here, unfortunatly I probably won't get to see it. There are two in November that I will get to see, though, both against the Leafs. Er, sorry, Laffs...
I found this in an article on CBC about the Habs and Flyers, thought it was worth passing along.
"In my opinion, this is the best team we are going to play so far in the season," Hitchcock told the Philadelphia Daily News.
"They have it all. They're playing well offensively and defensively, their special teams are playing well, they have four lines that can all score and all create chances and they're playing at a very high level."
