John Toperzer: Game Night: Round III Thursday night in Philly Intrastate rivals square off for the third time in 2013 on Thursday night

Lets go pens, need this win

Pens-Flyers contests have taken on their own life and there’s really nothing else like them in the NHL.

Ain't that the truth. Looking forward to another entertaining one tonight.

Get ready for pure HATE tonight.

Hopefully the Pens calm down the hate and actually play hockey.

The win against TB was great bc they only had 1 pk... They need to limit their penatlies to beat the flyers... and they cant rely on top 2 lines for points..

Hope DB changes up his game plan and doesnt tell everyone to take the puck behind the net... I hate seeing 3 guys behind the net and no one in front...

Flyers D is (frank)ed...try not to abuse it too badly tonight.

Beau getting his shot tonight on Malkin's line.. Disco said it'll be "for all three periods". We'll see!!!!

My prediction: Tanner Glass loses another fight.

It would be great to see him win one, maybe he will go with Hartnell. That one he can win.

It will be a mess of a game but we will come out on top tonight.

Let's hope TK is in the press box tonight.

Dont care if he wins or loses against Hartnell. I'd trade Tanner Glass for getting Hartnell of the ice for 5 minutes every day and twice on Sundays.

Let's hope TK is in the press box tonight.

That'd be fine. He's the guy that always gets 'that goal' against the Flyers.

Don't get this. They are hiding him from physical opponents.

I don't like the pairings either.

Bylsmagic!! what a fool

Not this year, unfortunately. He's been that guy who makes horrible turnovers and can't put the puck in the net to save his life this year. He's been really weak on the forecheck too. If vokoun wasn't on the team, he would easily be the most disappointing player all year.

I'm not the only one who was pleasantly surprised by how solid Niskanen and Eaton looked as our third pair against Tampa Bay, right?

Eaton should not be playing instead of Despres.
