Game night in Smashville as the Broad Street Bullies come a callin’, I have to admit, this one is special to me. As a native of the Philly area, I grew up living and dying by the Orange and Black. I still call myself an 81 game a year Flyer fan, but as a charter season ticket holder for the Preds, my allegiance is clearly labeled. That being said, this is the first chance I get to call a game involving Philly, and I am pretty stoked.
I have quite a few family members here from the Philly area, they will be weaering Flyer garb... Both teams need the points and are in heated battles for playoff positioning. Game time is 7pm at the Bridge, coverage on 104.5 the Zone and FS Tennessee.

Just got back from day of game skate, looks like it will be Leighton vs. Rinne in net.
