Flyers-Pens a prime example teams within division should play more


   Starting to watch the Battle of Pennsylvania @11:30 pst; Wednesday night.
   I wasn't even five minutes of watching the Flyers-Penguins and I ask my self why Peter Laviolette doesn't have Tom Sestito dressed against there arch rivals? I can recall two incidents last season where he should have been playing but did not. Each time the Flyers have had insufficient toughness the Penguins play like they are the second coming of the Boston Bruins; plus Brooks Orpik looks like he's the second coming of Derain Hatcher. I find it comical on how Pierre Mcguire calls Harry Zolnierczyk dirty for a so called board, he forgets to mentions seconds later how on Derek Engelland drives the Flyers head into the ice. How obvious is it to tell who Mcguire is going for. According to Mcguire.... Matt Cooke and Wayne Simmonds were almost going at it, the only problem is there were two linesman in the way (only reason why Cooke is yapping away). To prove I am not bios... is it me are is Zach Rinaldo a pu$$y...
   My last point is this about the lack of Flyers toughness tonight; the fact is Sestito has just as many goals (two) in seven games, as do Mike Knuble, Ruslan Fedotenko & Zolnierczyk combined (2 goals in 35 games combined).
    Penguins fans at the beginning of the game chanting Flyers suck; guess they forget the fact the Flyers manhandled them in six games in the 2012 playoffs. I have never seen 10 players & a goalie within 3 feet of the net; (Flyers first goal last night).
    Just got the point where Simmonds and Tanner Glass scrap.... with the lack of toughness dressed, guys like Simmonds has to scrap more than he should have to.
    This hands down has been the best game from beginning to end; back & fourth; 11 goals; playoff intensity.... This is why teams within there own division should play 6-8 times in a year. I'm sorry folks but these East vs West games are the worst to watch most of the time. There is the odd exception (Boston vs Vancouver) but 90% of the times; those games are complete duds. Do the folks in LA want to see Carolina, Florida, or even Buffalo.... no they'd rather see the Sharks, Ducks even more than what they do.

  1. I am sorry but no Canuck game is exciting, cheap shots is not tough hockey. That is why the Bruins beat them
