Philadelphia

“Philadelphia” looks very good in this playoff and played well even before the series with “Montreal” and confidently dealt with powerful rivals. In the matches with the Islanders was felt the superiority of the Pilots, especially in defense. Yes, twice Alain Vigno's wards were still able to concede five goals, but in other meetings the Canadians were not allowed to excel more than two times.

For example, after the defeat with a score of 3:5, the team worked well in defense and won victory in the decisive match - 3:2. Of course, this is largely due to Carter Hart, who is in great shape and makes a huge number of saves every time. So, in the last game he saved his team 31 times.

Islanders

The Islanders are a worthy contender for Philadelphia and look great i this Stanley Cup too. The team dealt quite easily with Florida (3:1) and then switched to Washington, which was allowed to take only one match. After being defeated by Metropolian in the fourth match, the Islanders completely neutralized the opponent's attack and did not concede a single puck, winning 4-0 and going to the next round.

At the moment, one of the main snipers is Anthony Beauville, who scored a double in the last game. The squad of Barry Trotz is not afraid to act as number two and feels comfortable at the same time, because the implementation of chances is at a high level.
