After last night’s overtime thriller vs Montreal, I am all kinds of jacked up for the Philadelphia Flyers. As a Bruins fan I welcome the Broad Street Bullies to Boston. Why? Because last year was last year. This year will be different. It has to be: Chris Kelly is burning on all cylinders.   But seriously, it’s going to be a tight series. On paper the Bruins played their 2011 season much the same way as the Flyers. In person one can see that the two teams’ styles aren’t that much different, that the fans of each club aren’t that different, heck, the colors on the teams’ respective jerseys aren’t that different.   Boston finished the year 3 points behind Philly in overall standings. The key difference? Two losses, an OT game and a win in the favor of the City of Brotherly Love.   Boston scored less than their prospective opponent, posting a 2.98 G/G average while Philly netted an average of 3.12. The Bruins, however, held scorers on other teams to fewer scores, halting would-be lighted lamps at a rate of 2.30 GA/G as opposed to the Flyers’ 2.63 GA/G.   Special teams were the same, not so great showing for both clubs, with Boston scoring on the Power Play at a rate of 16.2% and Philadelphia ringing in at 16.6%. The Flyers and Bruins killed penalties at rates of 82.8% and 82.6% respectively.   Even shots on goal were coming from these two teams at a similar rate (Bruins 32.7-Flyers 31.8).   And not surprisingly, as teams with winning records tend to do, when leading after 1 period the Bruins won 80% of games while the Flyers won 73.5%. After 2 periods with the lead, Boston won 88.2% of their games and Philly 86.4%.   In short, if you thought that the Bruins-Habs series was close, get ready for one that’s even closer.   But I wouldn’t be a proper B’s fan if I didn’t put forth the best statistic of all in this year’s bout with the Flyers:   In games against Philadelphia in 2010-2011, Boston is 3-0-1.   It looks like the Broad Street Bullies should Fear the Bear.
