This Is Getting Old: Pens Gameday #1 (Flyers)

Penguins (0-0-0, 0 pts)
Flyers (0-0-0, 0 pts)
When: 7:00
Where: Consol Energy Center
TV: VS

If you cannot figure why this game is huge then you must not know much about hockey. A showdown between the last 2 Eastern Conf champions and perhaps the most hated rivalry in hockey, not to mention the grand opening of Consol Energy Center should add to the intensity.

Gameday Notes:

-Asham is questionable for the game tonight, and I would expect Kennedy to fill his spot if he is unable to play.

-The Flyers will probably have Pronger, though he is still listed as a game time decision.

Projected Goalies:
Fleury vs Boucher

Opponents to watch:

Ville Leino- played as well as anyone on that team during the playoffs last season.

Brian Boucher- if the Pens get enough shots on him, he will start to let pucks in.

Andrej Mezaros- I wonder how the Flyers biggest defensive acquisition will fit in? I say the Pens should test him.

Live Notes:

12:30 pm- I'm hearing Letang is sick and is a game time decision

12:40 pm- Pronger out? That's what I am seeing.

12:40 pm- By the way Tangradi is back up in PIT. Got sent to Wheeling b/c of Asham. Killeen came up to practice with Meloche.

1:00 pm- Rumor that the Flyers are starting Bobvrosky

2:25 pm- Pronger out confirmed by ESPN. Make of that what you will.

4:30 pm- Hearing Letang is doubtful. Adams likely healthy scratch.
