NOTES

Flyers scouting report available here.
Dany Briere is out, as mentioned in the report. For the Pens, Rob Scuderi will be a game-time decision. Happy to see no broken/fractured/ruptured anything from that shot block on Tuesday night.
If Scuds can't play then be prepared to see Paul Bissonnette on the blue line. He's had some experience on defense in the past and just might make the move tonight if needed.

I think the Canadiens forum administrators are turtled up in their bunker as I am still not allowed in. Do you think that Philly vs. Pens, being from the same state, is hyped as much as the battle of Alberta. I really don’t get much coverage of anything eastern. For example, listening to the sports news on my way home tonight and they don’t even mention Pens/Philly as a game being played tonight.

Oh man, this is one of the biggest rivalries in the East. Last season there was a game between the Pens and Flyers were they recorded a combined 100+ in penalty minutes. It’s since tapered down, after the Pens ousted the Flyboys from the Conference Finals last season, but there is always at least one scrap that busts out on the ice.

Richards isn’t much a fighter, and the Flyers will probably have an issue with Talbot going after him. So I think Asham and Godard may have to settle things down for both benches. A Godard win might actually spark up the team a bit,
