Gamenight - Flyers vs. Devils

Time - 7:00 @ Wachovia Center

Yes. It's time. Yeah, I know these games don't count, but WHO FRIGGIN' CARES?!?!?! After what had to be the longest summer in recorded history, the Flyers finally get to drop the puck against the Devils tonight. The game will be broadcast over the Internet on the Flyers web site and can be heard on 610 WIP radio.

The lines for tonight's game will be (from the Daily News):
Nodl-Richards-Hartnell
Upshall-Carter-Giroux
Kalinski-Downie-Asham
Cote-Pow-Clackson

Coburn-Vaananen
Sbisa-Eminger
Parent-Curry

Biron (first 2 periods)
Ouellet (third period)

Downie, Asham, Clackson, Pow, and Cote will no doubt drop the gloves tonight. Goodness knows they know how to, and I wouldn't expect any game between these two teams to go without at leats one fight. Simon Gagne, who did practice this weekend, will be held out of tonight's game, along with other veterans who don't need to play every game (NHL rules state that at least eight veterans must dress in the preseason). I'm really interested in getting a look at how Luca Sbisa plays tonight. He really wants to make the team this year, so I suspect he'll be one of the young kids hitting everything that moves.

DROP THE PUCK ALREADY!!!!
