Just a heads up, there's gonna be a pre-game ceremony in Philly to honor Ron Hextall. Wouldn't surprise me to see both teams come out a little flat after sitting around for 30 minutes

I hope they show Dale Hunter's game 7 OT goal!!!!!! You guys remember, the one where Hextall lay on his back staring at the roof of the Capital Center for 15 minutes.

Rock, good one but I don't think that would go over well with the Flyer faithful, let alone Hexy himself. As for the game, someone mentioned awhile back that ceremonies like this often favor the visiting team. Now I'm not sure why because both clubs have to sit around for the duration of the ceremony itself anyway.
(Maybe Hunter will present Hextall with a picture of that incident)

geoffrey - you took the words out of my mouth. I think the main reason that is the case has to do with all sorts of off ice distractions and hullaballoo. The visitors don't give a rats ass and they don't have to go play prancing pony. All they have to do is sit and wait. To the visitor it's like any other rink repair situation. It sucks the energy out of the team with momentum. Don't know how that will play ot tonight. I'd guess WAS will want to loosen up early. Have to shake some creaky dust off after last night's heart attack win. Could mean they're slow and give up early goals or PHI could be distracted and shoot terribly for the 1per. Definitely favoes the U6 in my opinion but not quite enough for me to think it's a good idea.
