The entire complexion of Game 6 last year in the ECQF changed with Max Talbot of all people goaded Daniel Carcillo into a fight. The score was 3-0 at the time and Philly looked on its way to forcing a Game 7. Funny how a fight unexpectedly changes momentum. Pittsburgh went on to come back and win the game along with the series. Now for your amusement is the video.

FIGHT!!!!!
So now its October and we are back to the scene of the crime. The question becomes now with all the trash talk done by the fans is this. Though this is only the first of six games between the two teams…..who has the most to lose in this first tilt? My money is on the Flyers on that one. A loss tonight would at least put a crimp in their plans and tick them off at least a bit.
Faceoff is four hours away….expect a few fights and some goals scored….no shutout tonight!!!!!
