Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

I’m on the Canadiens here. The Flyers just look like a team that’s run out of gas and is waving the white flag down the stretch. It bothers me as a Leafs fan to do it, but I have to give credit to where it’s due for Montreal putting themselves in a playoff position this late in the year. At a certain point, you just have to roll with which team looks like they want it more, and for me, that’s clearly Montreal. Give me the Canadiens here.
