Just creating this thread as a discussion place-holder for now because if recent history is any indication, tonight's game will be EPIC.

I'm predicting 7 goals at least.

I'll predict 5-3 Penguins.
I'd guess PIT will start Fleury this time. Vokoun got shelled last time.

The last game (6-5) was at Pittsburgh.
I could see another Glass(PIT) vs. Simmonds(PHI) fight. I could also see Rinaldo as Glass' opponent here. Engelland and Simmonds have also fought in 2012 season.
The last one was close to a draw, and you can bet Simmonds would love to dance in Philly.

Pens will also have Mark Eaton for this go around, apparently playing 3rd D with Engelland. Beau Bennett is back to getting the LW2 spot with Geno-Neal.

Flyers are without Grossman and Meszaros isn't back yet.
Could be tough sledding for the Flyers D tonight.

I think a Simmonds showdown is inevitable too, but I hope he refrains. He's too important to be out of the game for 5 (or potentially more) minutes... and I personally want to see the Flyers CRUSH them.

It'd also be nice to see Giroux/Voracek light up Fleury for a combined 6+ points and Neal get a hatter

So I shouldn't start Bryzgalov?.....lol.

I'm gonna be missing this game too. The timing is unbelievable.

i hoping for 10 goals.

Catch 22 for me tonight.
I own both MAF and Bryz in multiple leagues
I also own several PENS ie Malkin, Neal, Kunitz, Martin in several leagues
I also own several FLYERS ie. Giroux, B Schenn, Timonen, Voracek in several leagues.

Part of me wants a goalfest, part of me wants goose eggs for the sake of goalie stats.
Sh*t, for this game..ill just be a hockey fan rather than a fantasy GM.

Yeah right..worst thing that COULD happen..each goalie gets 5.00 GAA and all the points come from Crosby/Letang/Briere/Simmonds and other 3rd/4th liners. Called it. ;/

Not gonna happen... there's no way Giroux's being held off the score sheet tonight... not the way his line has been rolling.

I also expect tons of penalties, which means Jimmy Real Deal Neal and Malkin should rack up a few PPPs.

By the end of this game, i want to hear "I told you so!" by blayze.
