The Flyers jerseys are way better then Bruins, just saying.

I love both jerseys, but Boston shouldn’t have used that goofy crest.

Agreed. Why did they create a new jersey rather than using a historic one?

I’ve got a boner…metaphorically speaking of course.

I cant stress enough how right the NHL got it this time. Theyre finally marketing the game the right way, putting two storied franchises that have a long playoff history between the two of them on the ice together, as opposed to trying to copy the NBA and marketing individual players (which is what Washington vs Boston would have been).

Now lets just hope these wires holding my broken jaw shut are taken out before the game so I can yell at my TV with full force

Last year they had a traditional rivalry. The year before that it was the Hot Player vs. The Geographically Sensible Team.

This should be a great game, but if we win then we’ll lose in the Stanley Cup Finals! That’s what happened to Detroit and Pittsburgh.

I sure hope it snows that day, too, much like it’s snowing here in The Illadelph now.

Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

Farmers Almanac say it’s going to snow, if that’s worth anything.

I put great stock in the Farmers Almanac. I look forward to a snowy Winter Classic then.

That commercial is pretty freakin’ sweet.

The Pronger looks so wistful when he steps out onto the ice. Ha.

Best thing about Comscast purchasing NBC will be the Battle of PA in 5 years.
Philly vs Pittsburgh in Happy Valley!
