Flyers and Pens Ring the Bell

The Flyers pounded the Penguins on the scoreboard last night, 8-2.  The Pens didn’t take it lying down though, and there were four scraps, which were split according to the votes right now.  Also on the games page is a clip of Georges Laraque basically slidetackling Martin Biron.

There have been three Pens-Flyers games so far.  The Flyers have won all three, and there have also been fights in all three games.  Good thing they’re going to take away two of these and replace them with Western Conference games next year…  The next Pennsylvania rivalry game is set for Jan 24, 2008.
