Looking at these lineups my only question is: What's the point of this glorified scrimmage? Its not like they don't already play enough meaningless preseason games as is.

It's a chance to show off the new building, plus the game is a legit sellout.

I'm not watching it, but I'm sure it's basically like an All Star game.

Minus the scoring (at least so far). Actually, players are trying to stick check and support, at least, but there is absolutely zero hitting or crashing the net.

Bill, are you at the game or just watching the live streaming? If you are there how's the building? I grew up 15 minutes south of there and am looking forward to seeing a game when I get back for the holidays.

Yes, I am in pressbox for the game (only Philly area reporter who made it). Facility is beautiful --- an NHL arena except for smaller seating capacity.

In some ways, yes. Only downsides: Neighborhood isn't great and there is only off-site garage parking available (but it's $6 as opposed to $20 now at WFC).

Thanks for the response. When I heard that they were putting the PPL Center on Hamilton Blvd, I was concerned about the traffic in and out as well as the crime in the area. Hopefully they did as nice of a job around the building as it sounds like they did in it.

Not female doging. But someone please explain how jasen Schwartz comes in at 2.35 on a 2 yr deal and we are paying b schenn 2.5.

J Schwartz. Same age. Drafted a year later in the first round. Put up 56 pts last year for an elite team. I scratched my head a bit when we were so quick to get b schenn done. Maybe the flyers just don't want to hardball their players like the blues and rangers but we could've saved 200-500 on the cap if Hexy took a harder stance
