GDT: Penguins @ Flyers 1/24

[pghbuccos]

the puck is about to drop in a few minutes between the Penguins and Flyers.

the game is the NHL Game of the Week on NBC.

Marc-Andre Fleury should be back in goal for the Pens.

Pascal Dupuis PIT will also return but Max Talbot is out again.

Ryan Parent PHI is out indefinitely with a back strain.

the Flyers beat the Pens 7-4 in their last meeting on Jan. 7th at the Mellon.

Jeff Carter scores on the power play (Crosby slashing)

1-0 Flyers

 

[pghbuccos]

this has been a penalty fest so far

as usual

Looks kind of scrappy, Flyers just had a goal disallowed because of a penalty.

 

[pghbuccos]

Simeon Gagne has a double minor called on him and it causes a Mike Richards goal to be waived off. Malkin gets a minor on the same play.

Flyers still lead 1-0

 

[pghbuccos]

Bill Guerin aka mustache boy makes it 1-1 with a power play goal

Another whistle.
Pierre just said the language is pretty good on the benches.
The NBC feed on nhl.com is good for commercials, in that there is none.

 

[pghbuccos]

the picture is much clearer on nhl.com as well

 

[pghbuccos]

Powell gets a nice hit on Goligoski and Letang takes care of Powell

 

[pghbuccos]

after the 1st it's 1-1

Good time for intermission, I've got 4 mins left in the game here...I won't miss any game!

 

[pghbuccos]

and I just got a call :evil: so hopefully I can make it back before the game starts back up.

 

[pghbuccos]

I missed the first 10 minutes of period 2 but no goals

 

[pghbuccos]

Flyers are on a power play

 

[thefatguy]
