After the jump, a guess at lineups, a few questions to answer and our in-game discussion.

Flyers projected lineup

Leino – Briere – Hartnell
JVR – Richards – Nodl
Powe – Carter – Giroux
Shelley – Betts –  Zherdev
Pronger – Carle
Coburn – Timonen
Meszaros – O’Donnell

Penguins projected lineup (via Frank Seravalli)

Kunitz – Crosby – Dupuis
Malkin – Letestu – Asham
Cooke – Talbot – Kennedy
Rupp – Adams – Comrie
Martin – Letang
Goligoski – Engelland
Orpik – Lovejoy

Questions to Answer

  1. How long does Nikolay Zherdev stay on the fourth line?
  2. Does Sergei Bobrovsky match his opening night performance in Pittsburgh?
  3. How much do we hate Arron Asham at the end of the night?
  4. Marc-Andre Fleury hasn’t started a home game since October 10th or something like that. Can the Flyers keep him unbalanced and shaky in the CONSOL net?
  5. Is tonight’s game generally more entertaining than the Sixers game, thus making the decision to throw the Flyers on TCN while the Sixers get the CSN top-billing seem silly?

Go Flyers.
