PITTSBURGH PENGUINS vs PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

NOTES
It's about time, huh?
Remember we're doing a little field trip action tonight. Keep it here for the first period and host a few Flyers fans. At intermission we'll start heading over to Broad Street and mingle with those Philly folk. Then third period it's back here for the rest of the game and any overtimes. Keep in mind you can keep the Philly thread open the whole time if you want, but I'm really looking to invade BSH during the second period.
To the out-of-towners joining us for the first period : All I ask is that you keep it clean. Otherwise everything else is fair game.

Or NBC. I’ll take Versus over NBC any day of the week (unless of course it’s Doc and Eddie Olcyzk on Versus).
I can’t stand Versus. But my main complaint is that they don’t tell you what’s going on. “Penalty call, we’ll tell you all about it when we come back.” Then they don’t even show it, and half the time you don’t know who’s sitting in the box. Take 3 seconds and tell me what team the penalty is on at least.

Yup, generally less scoring this time of year. 4 is huge.
