Round 1: Flyers (2) v. Sabres (7)

Schedule: (to be updated when officially released)

Flyers won their first Division title since 2003-2004.
Sabres won the psychological battle by coming from behind and beating the Flyers on Friday in overtime. 

The Flyers have yet to announce their playoff goalie though one can assume it will be Bobrovsky who played well done the stretch.
The Sabres will go with Ryan Miller, a Vezina goalie and Silver medalist.

Key to Series
Buffalo- Will Ryan Miller be the Olympic Goalie or the average goalie he has the tendency to be
Philadelphia- The Flyers need to find the passion and heart. If they can do this, they can certainly win a series against Buffalo

Prediction: Flyers in 6. Giroux and Briere carry offensive load. Bobrovsky proves he should be a starter in the playoffs. Zherdev also does well.
Miller is alright but Buffalo's lack of offensive depth can't keep them in it.
