GDT: Game #28| Mar. 13, 2013| Flyers at Devils | 7:30 p.m. ET

Curious with you and the others...how do Devs fans react to you in Flyers gear? Havent been to the Rock in ages for Devs/Flyers what is the crowd split?

I've been there 3 times in the last couple years. I've never had any real problems. You hear dumb "1975" jokes and "half of your fan base is from Jersey" jokes but nothing personal. Unless you're a hot head and can't handle some harmless ribbing then you might run into problems like most sporting events.

Luke Schenn out?

Appears Luke Schenn will be a scratch for the Flyers.

Not even on ice for warm ups...

Yes our dream third pairing of Gervais-Foster!

 

[SuchySays]

probably has the flu..

 

[PALE PWNR]

First time poster, hopefully without Marty there, we will have some more success with the dump and chase (which is extremely frustrating to watch when the flyers play the devils). Can't tell you how many times i've yelled at the TV when the flyers to continue to dump the puck to Marty and he just outlets it out.

Awfully surprised that username was not taken yet. Welcome to the boards. Marty being out is pretty huge.

 

[Beef Invictus]

OK, that's bad.

Or as the English would say, "That's bad."

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Might as well throw Leighton in there for the full out forfeit.

 

[Prongo]

Has to be sick or injured. Hopefully not a trade.

Is there generally a large/decent Flyers fan showing like there used to be in Continental Airlines Arena? Is there a section where more Flyers fans generally sit? Maybe would be more of a question for Devs fans.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I would go with he's sick.

The Flyer population in there has slowly decreased lately. I was there last year during a 1 o'clock start and there wasn't much fans in general.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

no luke ?

not liking that but lets be honest, the hole iin the standings is pretty much unclimbable anyways.

 

[Prongo]

Seems like the general opinion is he is sick on twitter.

 

[hckyplayer8]

No Schenn. Oh boy Bryz better be good.

NHL removes monster lateral hits from the game.

NBC proceeds to glorify said hits in their pregame show.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Yeah Stevens would have had a rough time under the new hitting rules if he was playing in the era.

 

[Karma]

Of course Stevens destorying Lindros while he had his head down was the number 1 hit.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah Stevens would have had a rough time under the new hitting rules if he was playing in the era.

He and Lindros would need to adapt or spend more time suspended than on the ice.

 

[freakydallas13]

No Schenn? More than likely no win. Hell, even with Schenn we would probably lose.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Schenn and Knuble are officially scratched.

L'Ecuyer and Furlatt refs.

Starters: Hartnell, Giroux, Voracek, Meszaros, Timonen, Bryzgalov.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They just showed Bryz scoring on himself.

You mean they didn't tar and feather Kimmo for passing to the buffoon?

 

[mantis toboggan]

Stevens hit was a straight elbow to the face. So ****ing dirty

 

[Flyerfan4life]

welll here we go

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

You mean they didn't tar and feather Kimmo for passing to the buffoon?

Unfortunately not.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

[Prongo]

Luke Schenn is sick according to the flyers twitter.
