NHL Preseason Underway

As most of you probably already know, the NHL preseason got underway last night, so in turn, that means that everything is right with the world.  Also, my beloved Philadelphia Flyers were in action last night at Toronto and made it look almost routine the way they handled Phil Kessel and the Maple Leafs 4-0.  

Zac Rinaldo helped his cause to crack the opening-night roster with two goals against Toronto

It was weird not seeing the star players out on the ice for the orange and black, but it also looked like all the young guys have been playing with each other for a few years.  That's a major plus heading into their season opener on Oct. 6 at Boston.  

Sergei Bobrovski played tremendous with a 27 save shutout and first round draft pick Sean Couturier scored his first NHL goal.  Other new guys got in on the action as Zac Rinaldo (178th overall in 2008 draft) netted two goals and Wayne Simmonds also had a nice tip-in, in his debut with the Flyers.

Here are the highlights of Tuesday's game.
