[Taro Tsujimoto]

Worth mentioning that there's rain in the forecast tomorrow night:

 

[Sam Spade]

Like death and taxes the Penguins beat the Flyers and Crosby has at least two points.

 

[Lomez]

Pens. Flyers. Outdoor game. Rain. What could possibly go wrong?

I think, however, what is on everyone's mind right now is what Herbert Lewis thinks.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Incoming Malkin meltdown!

 

[SlickShot]

Anyone know what band(s) are playing? They usually have a band perform during one of the intermissions for entertainment at these games.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

 

[berlin]

This shoulda been an afternoon game.

 

[OVO16]

JVR is on the 4th line? Holy hell

 

[Tofveve]

You pretty much have to cheer for the home town team in these unless you're a proven fanclub member of the opposition team. The atmosphere is too crushing otherwise.

 

[T-Funk]

The f*** kinda start time is that?

 

[Hockeyholic]

Is this game even gonna sellout?

 

[Sam Spade]

I was gonna drive up and get a ticket, I'm about 90 minutes away, until I saw this:

I'll hit the next one that's close.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

this is gonna be one of the greatest outdoor games ever

 

[c9777666]

Worth mentioning that there's rain in the forecast tomorrow night:

This could be shades of the Caps/Pens game when they delayed it a day

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

I'm saying it. I like the helmets. especially the flyers.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Get your Coors Lighttm Rain Ponchos while you can folks! Limited supply.

 

[DearDiary]

Crosby 5 point game (H) or Malkin suspension (T). Start flipping your coins now

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Haha Gritty looks so rad.

 

[CaptBrannigan]

Crosby 5 point game (H) or Malkin suspension (T). Start flipping your coins now

A ‘why not both’ if there ever was one.

 

[ScottyK]

These uniforms make me hate ADIDAS more an more.

 

[StrangeVision]

Gritty looks f***ing amazing.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

These uniforms make me hate ADIDAS more an more.

Lets be real. You wouldn’t like these jerseys no matter what they looked like.

 

[TBanff]

This is off to a Rocky start already. And it's about to get even more Gritty.

 

[swflyers93]

Gritty's entrance was amazing.
