I'll probably miss most of this one due to employment.

Cobie, gotta ask, who will you be rooting for in this game, or will you be a neutral observer?

Well, since the Kings are at home, honestly, I would like to see them get the two points - but I want this game to go to at least overtime - if the Kings can get two points and the Flyers get one, I'll be fine with that - Kings need this game a lot more, they're reeling badly - Flyers aren't expected to get a ton of points on this trip, if they play well today and get a point, then that's good because the Metro division is so close and one point can be the difference, so if they get one point it'll help

True an OT game with as little injuries as possible would be the best case scenario for both teams.

I have always considered the kings Flyers west...still root for Richie although today it's all Flyers!!!

 

[wbon22]

Since the game starts at 1pm local time...what is the odds that Carter and Richards don't show up till the 3rd period if at all?

Course, the since the Flyers as a team tend not to show up for afternoon games, ....

Please G, prove me wrong!!

Kimmo is out

 

[flyersfan4706]

That Rinaldo hit

 

[Cobiemonster]

Power play coming up for the Flyers

 

[flyersfan4706]

Great pace

 

[Cobiemonster]

Scoreless after one period of play - good play from both teams

 

[flyersfan4706]

Holy shit what a slam dunk

 

[Cobiemonster]

Simmer! 100th career goal!

The Kings announcers are horrible. I don't think they know anyone on the flyers other than Simmonds.

Couturier what a hit
