Pens Flyers. Game 1. Get The Popcorn.

The most unproductive day of our lives is upon us.  The Pens and the Flyers do battle tonight at Mellon Arena.  If you don't know how huge this is, just call up Gary Roberts and make a yo mama joke to him.  Immediately, you will feel a gust of wind, and then crash through a glass table, shrivel up, and die a slow and painful death.  If you don't know how huge this is, you probably don't deserve to be alive, really.  

Big news out of Philthy *cough* Philly is that their powerplay quarterback and best defenseman, Kimmo Timmonen, is out for the year with a blood clot in his ankle/foot region.  Unlike when Avery was spleened, I feel sorry for the man they call Kimosabi.  He has done nothing wrong outside of being a Flyer, which is actually pretty bad.  Hopefully, he misses this series, but is not seriously hurt in the long run.  Hope to see you back.... next year... Kimmo.  

On to greener pastures,

The Pens have no injuries heading in to this series, and are primed to advance to their first Stanley Cup since before I was a little fetus.  The Pens have home ice, and must utilize it fully with two wins to open this up.   

My own personal suggestion to Hartnell and Hatcher:

DON'T UPSET THE SID.  IT WON'T END WELL FOR YOU OR YOUR TEAM!

Just saying.

Do it.
