NY Rangers @ Philadelphia Flyers 2/11/12

First time these two teams will play in the Wells Fargo Center this year. Sestito and Rinaldo should be in for the Flyers as well as Prust and Rupp for the Rangers. Emigner is back on D for the Rangers which means Bickel will likely be out. This is arguably the most heated rivalry in the NHL this year, and the Philly crowd will be pumped up. Could see some fireworks in this one.

Rupp needs to find Sestito. That will probably be all. With Bickel out it likely won't be as entertaining as the last game. I really wish the flyers still had Richards so he and Dubi could have their yearly fight.

Got my seats. I am behind the Flyers goal 10 rows up. Should be alright, but wish I had the middle. The atmosphere should be great though.

I expect Rupp vs. Sestito and Prust vs. Rinaldo.

Wild Card: Boyle vs. Coburn

Well right now Shelly is 1 injury away from playing. The Flyers sent Harry Z down so Shelly is the only healthy Scratch.

They still don't have a time table on JVR.

With the physicality of the games lately, its only a matter of time before a player on either team gets hurt haha.

Thanks for the info. As much as we Rag on Rupp and Shelley I would like to see both guys in. But Sestito or should I said the Tito Train sure does add tons of excitement.

That nickname is stupid, but when Sestito and Rinaldo get going it is entertaining.

Im not expecting 4 fights like last game but whenever the Flyers/Rags get together no matter who is in the lineup its always a good physical game....really looking forward to it....i will be flipping back and fourth between this and the Preds vs Boston hoping to see Mcgrattan vs Thornton....

dont count bickel out just yet, torts was quoted in todays paper he loves the guy and will get some icetime upcoming !!

he plays against the physical teams then sits against the fast teams in my opinion !!

Fedetenko didn't make the trip, does that affect the Rags lineup?

They'll probably play Wolski who has been a scratch for quite some time. Though I'd love to see them run 7 D and put Bickel in.

Yup great move by Torts. By dressing Bickel as the 7th dman it means he can drop the gloves when necessary without it affecting the team negatively from a defensive standpoint.
