Frank Seravalli's 3 keys to the finals

1. GOALIE BATTLE. If Michael Leighton can outduel Antti Niemi, the easiest of the Flyers' four goaltending matchups so far, the Flyers will be in a prime position to drink from Lord Stanley's Cup.

2. DISCIPLINE. Since Chicago's power play has scored at a 22 percent clip in the playoffs, the Flyers will have their hands full with Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith. The only way to combat that is to stay out of the box.

3. WIN ONE. Taking one game out of the first two at the United Center sounds like an obvious goal for any team in the playoffs. But if the Flyers head back to the Wachovia Center down two games, it could be a pretty quick series in favor of the Blackhawks.
