Game Photos: 12/29/2011 Pens vs Flyers

Thursday night at Consol Energy Center wasn't about the battle for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. It wasn't even the usual grudge match between two cross-state rivals. It was all about the return of two former Penguins, both legendary in their own way. And what a return it was for Max Talbot and Jaromir Jagr. While both received much different greetings from the fans (constant boos for Jagr, a smattering of boos that turned into a standing ovation for Talbot when a video tribute to him was played on the big screen), they both ended up making important contributions in Philadelphia's 4-2 victory. Check out our photos from the game after the jump.

Yes, Jagr did manage to get a pretty nice goal past Fleury. In an interesting subplot, Jagr decided to celebrate by skating right over to @PensKnittngLady and saluting her:

Anyway, back to the game.

Great pics (as always), PAYD. I think my favourites are the one of Fleury stretching and the guy with the Talbot sign (a really good sign provided you read the whole thing!).

Jagr? I don't even know 'er.
