12:30pm NBC
Make sure you keep the Migraine medicine handy. With the crew of Pierre, Doc, Eddie and Mike you know you'll be screaming at the TV before the puck even drops.
Things you'll hear during this broadcast.
1. Pierre McGuire between the glass ogling Mike Richards and his 'big stick'
2. Mike Milbury making negative comments about MAF.
3. Doc Emerick talking just to himself speak.
4. Eddie O just being a disgruntled ex-employee.
With those things in mind let us ponder....
If you didn't think it was hard to get up for another game after Thursday night's let down the team walks into the pit of hell to Face the Flyers. The Flyers have found a way to right their ship posting an impressive record since John "Herpes Lip" Stevens was shown the door in the beginning of December.
WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA
When a Pens/Flyers matchup is played in Philly the game takes on a whole new meaning. Since he entered the league, Flyers fans have had a raging stiffy for Crosby. They've done everything they can to label him a diver, whiner, baby, pussy etc etc etc. This model of respect and admiration have won Flyers fans the title of "DUMBEST FANS IN HOCKEY". Oh, I'm sorry was that supposed to be "MOST INTIMIDATING FANS IN HOCKEY"?
Hard to type when when my eyes are teared up from laughing so hard.
Anywhoooo, when the Pens play in Philadelphia, the media attention turns to how Crosby is hated blah blah blah, you hear the team organist stir up the ogre-masses to a raucous chant of "CROSBY SUCKS"
It's like watching feeding time at the Zoo. But while the animals are too busy throwing their own feces at each other Crosby has fared quite well.
I guess the old saying is true...
Sticks and Stones may break my bones.......
THINGS YOU WANTED TO KNOW BUT WERE TOO LAZY TO LOOK UP:
WHAT WHISTLER THINKS IS IMPORTANT TO THIS GAME:
In the last game, the Flyers found a way to attack the D, causing it to collapse. This allowed a skater to come into the zone free and clear. The Pens D has to prepare for this. Clearing the Zone has to be a priority. We cannot let them enter the zone cleanly.
Mr. Malkin needs to STAY OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX. He's attempts to jump start his game has caused his time to be short handed on quite a few occasions lately.
