Bruins Likely Goalie: Tim Thomas
Flyers Likely Goalie: Ray Emery if the cocaine wears off in time
Preview Notes: The Bruins travel to the joke of a city called Philadelphia, where the fans cheer louder for a hit than a goal, and where its okay to lose as long as you take cheap shots and bite your opponents.
The Flyers opened the season strong, but then came back down to earth. The saddest part is the Flyers actually have a good amount of talent, but play up to their fans desire for goonism.
The Bruins are a bit vulnerable without Lucic and possibly without Thornton. I would highlight the scorers here, but we all know Philly's game is just being cheap and then turtling when the opponent comes seeking revenge.
The Bruins D will need to be sharp, however, as Pierre McGuire's boyfriend Mike Richards and Jeff Carter have been hot to start the season. The new AHL call-ups did well after the first period last night, with Brad Marchand getting an assist in his first NHL game for the Bruins.
Ray Emery started the season great as well, but then decided to show everyone why the Ducks dominated Ottawa in the Cup finals with his lack luster play.
Expect a decent amount of scoring and a lot of scrums. Hopefully Chara catches Hartnell coming across the middle and ends his season.
