	Its unfair the flyers are playing right away while the Penguins and the Rangers get more rest.

	I like the fact that the Flyers are going right back at it. That why they are not settling down and becoming to relaxed. Let the Rangers and Pittsburgh do what they want, Philly is on a roll . I say Flyers in Six Games

	That's their fault for letting the Capitals take them to 7 games. But the Canadiens have the same issue, having gone seven with Boston. And sometimes breaks disrupt chemistry and timing, so it might be better for them to keep playing anyway.

	How is it unfair? They're not playing the Pens or the Rangers. The two rested teams are playing each other, and the two teams who played 7 games are up against each other. Sounds fair to me.

	If anything, it's unfair for the Habs. They are the top seed. I think it's good for the Flyers...rest makes you soft.

	Being the top seed, the Canadiens had the easiest first round matchup. They have only themselves to blame for that series going on so long. Seeding has nothing to do with how much rest you get between series.

	I love the Flyers but if they wanted rest they should have closed out the series earlier...they could have swept and had opportunities to close them out in 5 and 6 games... I just hope they can carry some momentum into the series against a rookie goaltender...the Habs went 7 games as well so we'll see... For me it's a toss up in 7 games...

	The schedule is already created, with all of the possible senarios, before the playoffs even begin. If Philly had of lost and Montreal was to play the Rangers then that game would have still been tonight. It sucks but given that both teams went 7 games they are in the same position anyway.

	True. The Flyers had a chance to close it our in 5 and get some rest. But look at it this way, for Biron getting right back into it is probably the best thing. He’s been on fire, espec
