“It’s Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. It’s a turf battle. Everybody knows that.”
Pierre McGuire has seen his fair share of Flyers-Penguins games over the years, most recently calling the last game between the rivals on March 25. And while McGuire doesn’t expect Flyers coach Dave Hakstol to mix it up with Penguins coach Mike Sullivan the way Peter Laviolette did with Dan Bylsma years ago, the longtime broadcaster does expect some of the bad blood between the teams to bubble over onto the ice.
“I do expect a lot of physical fireworks from both teams,” McGuire told the Inquirer and Daily News.
