Flyers Home Opener: Monday, October 11 Versus Colorado

PrintBlueland Blog, the official blog of the Atlanta Thrashers, published a list of home openers for each team today. The full schedule comes out tomorrow, but we learn quite a bit from this list.
The Flyers will open their home schedule and raise the Eastern Conference Champions banner on Monday, October 11 when they host the Colorado Avalanche. It couldn't have been the Penguins or Rangers or Devils or Caps, could it? Thanks, guys.
Chicago, of course, gets to hoist their banners against archrival Detroit.
We do, however, get the chance to spoil Pittsburgh's opening night party at their new building, the Consol Energy Center. We found this out last month, but now we have a date: on Thursday, October 7, the Flyers will visit the Penguins to open their new building.
The orange and black are also involved in the St. Louis Blues' home opener on Saturday, October 9.
So, as it stands, it looks like a two game road trip to kick off the season in Pittsburgh and St. Louis, followed by the home opener in game number three against Colorado.

I can’t believe we open against a Western Conference team – oh well, as long as we win it. :)
If I may digress, Homer made some interesting remarks on the team site today:

A long wait, but worth the wait, IMHO. :)

So with the Pens finally moving to the 7 pm start time it means it will be the league’s opening game as well, won’t it? (In North America I mean)
Betting now open: which Flyer scores the first goal of the NHL’s ‘10-’11 season?

Jarome Iginla or Bobby Ryan

I like your thinking on this.

It’s Bettman’s and/or Crosby’s fault – everything bad in hockey is.

I’d want the Habs. I hate them and we could raise the banner in their faces.

Rangers would be the best, just because we beat them in the last game of the shootout just to get into the playoffs.
Chris Pronger stole my last signature.
I’d take either of those – or the Bruins. ;)

Eklund checking if Spezza traded to Columbus, if so then there go your Carter trade theories here

Eklund gives me hope that I could some day write about hockey. I have a vivid imagination

Eklund is hilarious and yet a good businessman. He suckers people everyday to buy “insider information”.
You ain't a has-been, if you never was.
Also, have any of you guys seen “Peklund” ?

Looks like Spezza to Columbus ain’t happening then
