Questions to Answer

  1. Can the top line start to bury their chances when it matters most?
  2. Will Michael Leighton rebound after being pulled from Game 5?
  3. Antti Niemi wasn't great in Game 5, despite the win. Can the Flyers exploit him some more?
  4. Does Chris Pronger dominate after a bad outing on Sunday?
  5. The Flyers were strong in the second and third periods of Game 5. Does that carry over?
  6. Another weak start for orange and black?
  7. Is the Stanley Cup awarded in Philadelphia tonight?
