As we all know, the Flyers are set to play the Penguins in the first round of the playoffs. Entering the postseason as the 5th overall seed in the Eastern Conference, they will not have the luxury of having home ice advantage against Pittsburgh.
The Flyers only have 1 loss all-time at the Consol Energy Center (yesterday), so we're not too concerned with their ability to play well on the road, especially in that building.
The first game of the series will commence on Wednesday, April 11 in Pittsburgh. The game will be broadcast on the NBC Sports Network, with puck drop set for 7:30pm.

Although general manager Paul Holmgren said that his star was plagued by an upper-body injury - multiple reports deduced that it was actually a cold - Giroux sat out Saturday's 4-2 loss to the rival Pittsburgh Penguins.

With the recent signing/extension of Nicklas Grossman the Philadelphia Flyers achieved three things. First of all they overpaid for a good but not elite defensive defenseman, secondly they gave themselves potential cap headaches this summer with the likes of Matt Carle, Jaromir Jagr and Jakub Voracek to re-sign (headaches could disappear depending on the Pronger situation) and finally...

One of the more underrated and sickening playoff defeats the Penguins have ever experienced was the 2000 series against the Flyers. If a Penguins fan is ever on the show "Intervention," they will be talking about how great their life was and then the producer will ask what was the catalyst to their downward spiral in life.
