Doob's take
Pens have the better overall record, Flyers are the hotter team, but none of that really matters in this rivalry. I expect a closely contested game regardless of the situation. Nothing left to say about this rivalry which hasn't been said already. Doob picks the Pens to win 3-2.

This game like all Flyers/Penguins games will be exciting

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah, it will be a slobber knocker for sure,

This should be a good game. Both of these teams have a dislike for one another so rivalry is a good word.

I pick Pens 4 -2 with an EN goal.

Pens wearing these during warm ups in honor of the Veterans. Then auctioned off later for charity. I think they look cool as hell.

Yeah NHL Live is really dragging on, 8 more minutes of Milbury giving us his opinions and passing them on as facts...

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Wish the Pens could wear the warmups during the game. Would go perfect when playing against the Flyers.

Isn't Malkin wearing his camo jersey every night?
