The Philadelphia Flyers are taking on the Ottawa Senators in the early game today. What started as a pretty tame first period didn't stay that way for too long.
First, Travis Konecny, takes on Jacob-Bernard-Docker and lands a pretty nice uppercut that puts Bernard-Docker down to invigorate some energy.
Then a few minutes later Mark Kastalic and Tony DeAngelo drop the gloves in a spirited tilt after Kastelic nailed DeAngelo along the bords
One thing is for certain, this isn't a tame first game for Claude Giroux back in Philadelphia, he's been in the middle of everything as well.
Both teams have settled into what seems to be a throw-back game and I for one could not be happier. It's nice to see some much needed emotion being injected into an afternoon game.
