These should be in big letters somewhere. I missed them here, but found this info on facebook. Maybe a locked thread title or something.

Kambo · 10-07-2010, 10:57 AM

Is it sad that I was more uneasy believing Boucher was gonna be the starter? Lol

IrishSniper87 · 10-07-2010, 10:57 AM

BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

And no Pronger tonight =

I'm still uneasy, but most of it has just been replaced with unbridled excitement.

DrinkFightFlyers · 10-07-2010, 11:02 AM

Bob is starting??? Boucher hurt or are they that high on him? Either way I cannot freaking wait to watch this game. I will be DVR'ing it and abstaining from HFBoards and ESPN.com during the game because I have class from 8-9:50 tonight. Let's go FLYERS!!!!!!

Is Pronger close tho?

nevermore · 10-07-2010, 11:03 AM

Bob doesn't need Pronger.

Kaktus* · 10-07-2010, 11:05 AM

Is this an aswesome story or what? Wish nothign but the best to Bobrovsky

I wonder what Boucher will say about that.

Why? We all know you won't inadvertently hear anything about hockey from ESPN.

sa cyred · 10-07-2010, 11:11 AM

Wont lie, would have played Bob against the Blues. And no Pronger on defense makes it a more of a difficult game for Bob.

DONT EXPECT MUCH PEOPLE. This will be his first game. I dont expect him to go out and shutdown Crosby and Malkin. If he does, Ill be super happy but Im preparing myself for around 4 goals going in, espcially with no Pronger.

Flyskippy · 10-07-2010, 11:19 AM

Great job, MSE!

I was sent a picture of the sign for the CEC:

I am excited that Bob is going to be in net - Lava knows what he's doing.

Let's go, Flyers! *clap* *clap* *clap-clap-clap*

LEIFey · 10-07-2010, 11:21 AM

Opening day. Let's come out of the gates on fire.

RoDu · 10-07-2010, 11:23 AM

As if some undrafted punk is going to stone a far superior team in the Penguins.

GKJ · 10-07-2010, 11:27 AM

RT @DNFlyers: Chris Pronger remained on the ice for a long time after everyone else with Matt Walker. Those two are likely to be the two scratches.

Trying to ask him if that means Bartulis is in and they're going with 7D

6.5 hours until puck drop. Can't wait. The Bob era starts tonight.

GoneFullHolmgren · 10-07-2010, 11:31 AM

so I am looking at the front page of espn.com and there is a pic of Carcillo and Crosby in a overhead shot at center ice. The thing is Carcillo's nameplate is missing or has been airbrished out. How does that happen? oh wait. nevermind.

I am so excited. Potential FRANCHISE goalie for us. This is huge.

That's actually probably Metropolit.

Teezax · 10-07-2010, 11:34 AM

Wow Bob getting his first NHL start, I like this.
Time to see if he is legit.

Other than that, super pumped, hopefully we get a clear stream.
Anyone else notice we play the Pens 3 times in October?

Seriously, how f'd up is that? Even if it is Metropolit, they couldn't find ANY overhead pics of any current Flyer against the Golden ****??
