Y'know, I like a lot about both of these teams. I have been rooting for the Flyers all season though, so I won't stop now, underdog or not (plus, I cannot stand Byfuglien). I'll go with Flyers in 6 (but it's more about what I'm hoping than what I'm expecting here). Byfuglien is another one of those stupid hot headed f u c k s who is riding the coat tails of much more talented players and acting like he's really that good. I'd much rather have him than a fuker like carcillo, hartnell, or the dirty side of richards and pronger... etc etc

You actually think Richards is dirty?
He's not dirty just because he delivers hard checks. If he carved someone up with his stick, then he'd be dirty.

whether or not one likes Byfuglien or not, you can't ignore the fact that he has scored some very timely goals for Chicago. I think he has three game winning goals in the playoffs.
He does come across and being really cocky though and will no doubt be looking for his big payday.

Doesn't he already make 3 mil + ? One could argue he already got his payday.

He likes to take advantage of players in prone positions, same almost as a guy like Cooke, except less obviously so. he is a great player and a good leader... but some of his hits, he could either hold up on, or use his body differently to target his victim in a way that he won't eliminate someone if possible. plus, he can be reckless... sure his hit on krejci took him and the bruins out of the series, but it led to a goal 8 seconds later and who knows, could've been worse for the flyers than the bruins if the bruins had guys to step up and replace krejci.

Richards is a hard-nosed, tough hockey player.
He does make some devastating hits but they are clean; even the Booth hit (which had a horrible outcome) was within the rules at the time. And you know Richards felt bad about the outcome because he toned his game down for several weeks after that.
I just would never label Richards as 'dirty'. I see 'dirty' as all the cheap, non-checking stuff that is intended to injure guys (like using your skate or stick to hurt a player). There's a number of guys out there that seem to do these things and I'd label them as 'dirty'.
