I'm not sure what was said during that first intermission, but if I had to guess, it probably went something like this: Peter Laviolette filled a fridge with 100 jars of jam and kicked it over before summoning Ville Leino over from the Buffalo locker room, punching him in the head, and telling him to clean up the mess.
Then, the Flyers came out in the second period and scored less than a minute in on their way to SEVEN STRAIGHT GOALS and a 7-2 win. Orange Jesus had five assists, just one shy of Eric Lindros' team record set back in 1997, and Max Talbot scored two goals to pace the Flyers.
But that wasn't even the most bad ass of bad ass performances in this one. Wayne Simmonds took a puck to the face during warmups, and in his own words, had two teeth "knocked around," whatever that means. He wound up with 25 stitches in total, a full face shield... and two goals. Oh, and they were the game-tying goal and the game-winning goal, too.
For purposes of this recap and our own collective sanity, we will pretend as if the first 20 minutes of tonight's game did not happen. Go Flyers. F*** the Penguins, etc.

I feel like Simmonds should get some kind of award for that sheer awesomeness. I loved that celebration after his second. Anybody got a pic of that?

Totally OT,
But Mike Richards just fought Hanzal. It was pretty cool.

I feel like we always use the Mass Murder headline whenever the Flyers beat the Sabres now.

Maybe if they beat us it would stop

They started Enroth but Miller once again got torched when he came in.

Had to catch the first 2 periods on the radio before I got in front of a tv (at the gym). Saunders could have broken speakers with how high his voice got.

I was watching the Minnesota v Winnipeg game and noticed that Minnesota was playing Doop during the TV timeout.
Multiple stadiums and arenas have been, most notably Verizon Center during the playoffs last year.
The Philadelphia Union Borussia Mönchengladbach really started a trend.

Per Flyers FB feed:
Flyers Wayne Simmonds received 25 total stitches combined on his upper and lower lips tonight.
Ouch.
A tie may be like kissing your sister, but it's better than getting screwed by a skills competition.
Hartnell cops to being the one who hit him with the puck:
I feel like a #pididiot for hitting simmer in the face with a puck in warm up.#simmerdown 2 goal for the beast in front of the net though!!!

It would have been really funny if Hartnell took credit for Simmonds goals by hitting in the face in warm ups.

Mighty bummer to be a Sabres fan right now, what with all the hopefulness after the ownership change and the strong finish last year.

The lines got pretty wacko at the end there. Really curious to see what they look like on Saturday if Jagr is still sick and Briere can’t go.
Also, Wellwood 10/14 in Fen/Corsi? Baller.

OT
why on capgeek does it say we have 0 cap space. and other places are reporting we have between 2something and 3something mil?
The Flyers are over the cap, and have been for most of the year. They are allowed to be over the cap because of the LTIR exception, and have room under that exception to go a couple of million more over the cap if they want to.
Most people either don’t realize this or ignore it, and instead pretend like LTIR’d players don’t count on the cap. It’s the same in some ways, but not in every way — for example, unused space under the cap can be saved up to let you afford a more expensive player later in the year, but an unused portion of an LTIR exemption over the cap can’t be saved up like that.

On this note, a similar question re:next year and beyond. Are bonuses going to automatically count against the cap again next year? Do we know yet? Or will that depend on the CBA?
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Feb 17, 2012 1:34 AM EST up reply actions
We don’t know yet; it’ll depend on the CBA.
I’d assume they won’t — I haven’t heard any reason for the NHL or NHLPA to be unhappy with the old situation, and the only reason there was no bonus cushion this year was that this was the last year of the CBA and they didn’t want to have to think about how overages would carry over into a new CBA.

You have to ask dragongirl. the NHL usually runs these thing past her before they actually draft up the CBA. She might not be at liberty to say at this time however.

one of my favorite Flyers… the hell if he doesn’t embody everything we’ve always loved in a hockey player…
I will be getting a Talbot WC Jersey this summer when they are much cheaper. He has been much more productive than I thought.

I bet my Pittsburgh friend a case of beer that Talbotus Maximus would have more points at the end of the season than scumbag Matt Cooke.

kissing ass
Travis you been on fire lately I with your writing very enjoyable reads. I especially like the F!@#$ the Pens part at the end there. Your living up the SBNation tagline Pro Quality Fan Prospective keep up the good work.

Is it just me...
It seems to me that every time we play buffalo we get smoked in the first period and then come back and dominate in the second and third. Does this happen with other teams or just Buffalo?
And all I've done for want of wit, To mem'ry now I can't recall.
So fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be with you all.

Well that’s pretty damn sweet. When I left home at ~7:30 last night, we were down 0-2. I was almost glad that the game wasn’t on TV down here. When I came home at ~10:30, we had won 7-2. I’ll take it.
