Regular season means nothing buddy

The Canadiens looked like crap in the playoffs. It took them 7 games to defeat a 94 point Bruins team. Price was not nearly ready for the pressure and was even pulled from a start against the Flyers.
I know regular season doesnt matter for much come playoff time, but it is stupid to just discount it all together. The Pens were a better team during the season and have been a better team during the playoffs, going 8-1 so far.
The Flyers are a good team, made obvious by the fact that they are in the EC finals, but the Pens are the clear favorite. Biron has been good, but not great. Fleury has out played him, and anyone who disagrees is blinded by something.
And if Philly fans are happy with a 77% PK (4th worst in the playoffs), allowing 57 PPs and allowing 13 PPGs in 12 games (worst in the playoffs) then I am happy for them.
