I saw the boxscore of the Penguins/ Flyers game tonight and wondered if the two teams hate each other and if they were playing professional baseball withe final score.  Philadelphia defeated Pittsburgh 8-2 behind two three-goal outbursts, in a game which included a combined total of 156 penalty minutes.  Wowsers....

Check out the penalties in the third period:

Gosh... I wish I could have been in attendance... assuming nobody was injured too badly, this game seeemed interesting from start to finish.  Seven players were assessed with more than 10 penalty minutes,

In terms of goal scored, you had four in the first period, three in the second, and an additional three in the final period.

You can be certain the league, specifically Colin Campbell, will hand out suspensions and fines later this week after he reviews this mess.
