Engelland vs. Simmonds, Rinaldo vs. Neal, Glass vs. Schenn.

Rupp vs. Thornton, Asham vs. Lucic, Bickell vs. Campbell.

Orr vs. Prust would be a great tune up for Orr before taking on John Scott. Prust doesn't have the reach or power to pose any threat to Orr and Colt can just tee off on him with right hands. Prust is crazy enough to try him if he has to. He's fought MacIntyre on multiple occassions in the past so the guy is as game and fearless as they come but Orr is a terrible matchup for him. Most likely he takes on Brown in a much more even matchup. I doubt Orr finds a partner in Montreal even if he plays.

Janssen and Boulton should go if they're both in. Barch might get beat up by Carkner.

Parros and Westgarth should renew aquaintences for their first eastern conference matchup.

McGrattan if he's in might beat up Boll. Dorsett will probably fight with Clune if Clune is in the linesup. If not he'll probably get Gaustad to go.

Staubitz and Zack Kassian should have a rematch in what should be a good scrap. Staubitz caught him last year but I think Kassian should be able to take him and hopefully he wants a crack at some revenge there.

Then the big time heavyweight fight of the night should be between Patrick Bordeleau and Matt Kassian, a couple of top shelf AHL heavyweights getting a chance to leave an impression and do it under the bright lights of the NHL. They only went once in the American league with Kassian taking the decision but Matty may have a little rust on him while Bordeleau should be ultra confident right now having made the team through camp. He not only hasn't lost a fight this season, he's been pounding the piss out of everyone he's faced, dropping everyone who's dropped em with him. He's only got a half a dozen fights though and Kassian will be probably the toughest guy he's faced this season thus far. I think this one's gotta happen and it should be the heavyweight tilt of the night.

Asham is not playing. He's carrying over one game from a 4-game suspension while with Pens last season.

Scratch that one then. That means Segal could be in for a fucking beating if Looch is looking to smash somebody.

I saw the topic and it put a smile on my face.

Stuabitz-Kassian for the Ducks-Van (hopefully) in what appears to be a great match up.

Brookbank-Fraser is another good potential matchup.

Parros-Westgarth are two gamers who may go (if they're playing).

I don't know who's actually going to be in the lineups, but as long a there are a few fights tomorrow then I'll be happy.

It's pretty cool to see Winnipeg showing up on the schedule and Peluso's name on the roster. If he can stay up, there will be some great fights ahead.

Thanks Mags getting this started.

Carcillo vs Clifford(two light heavies...both seems play dirty and are such like who go at it)

Engelland vs Shelley(Angel-Engel thinks first his defense but ready to go...Shelley showing a signal for his team)

Janssen vs Boulton(ex-teammates...if not fightning in this game but they has a change to fight in other games as well)

I can see engelland and glass fight rinaldo and simmonds. Hopefully this game has some leftovers from their playoff series.

For all the hard work Shelley did in the off-season, he is being rewarded by being scratched in favor of a fast skating useless pussy.

Barch out, Cam in. Most likely according to the AM practice today.

If Shelley and Sestito are out for the opener today, does it mean that their is a decent chance one of them play in BUF tomorrow? Esp. if Philly lose today or get pushed around.

who fucking knows what coach pussy is doing. having wellwood in the lineup is insulting. he got sent to glenns falls to play, did nothing but cry and complain, was invisible for most of the season (and even got sent to trenton for a stretch) and here he is. awful.......

    In response to daveh8

SO here is to hoping that Wellwood and/or another pussy forward get hurt today so tough guy(s) play tomorrow vs BUF (Scott) so I have a chance to see a legit heavyweight fight (Shelley/Scott).

Just waive both of them and sign Andreas Nodl again to make the team even more gay.

Damn, it's not THAT bad, guys. The Flyers still have a lot of guys that will fight, including two guys that were not on the roster last season. You take what you can get.

I don't think MacDermid is in for the Bruins either.

First hit from behind...Chris Neil nails Mark Stuart hard, gets a boarding penalty. No one did anything about it. Wasn't that bad but bad enough I guess.

The Jets have made Anthony Peluso a healthy scratch today. Thorburn is their tough guy. For some reason they have this Schiefele on the 4th line, not sure why they would waste the time with him on that line. If he's not good enough for top 3 lines, he has to go down and play a lot. Play Peluso!
