I believe Malkin actually plays on a seperate line from Crosby and Hossa. But they all play together on the man-advantage.
Timmonen will be draped on Malkin the entire series, same with Hatcher on Crosby. Gonchar will have the opportunity to be a factor like Mike Green was for Washington, but if the Flyers keep their heads, he won't be a big deal.
Flyers have had two series to prepare them for the MOST OFFENSIVELY DEEP TEAM IN THE NHL, and have already seen everything the Pens can throw at them. Like I said already Gonchar -> Green as well as Malkin -> Ovechkin, Crosby + Hossa -> Koivu + Kovalev. The key was, those teams could only put those players out a portion of the game while Philadelphia can roll four lines without losing their effectiveness.
Fleury is the only X-factor the Pens can throw at Philly. He's more experienced than the last two young goaltenders and may not crack as quickly as Huet and Price.
