FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES
Scott Hartnell can feel the animosity the second the Philadelphia Flyers forward skates onto the ice at Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center.
"There's a lot of hatred by the city against us," Hartnell said. "We thrive off that."
If the Flyers want to survive their first-round matchup with the Penguins, they don't really have a choice.
"It's going to be a bloodbath," Hartnell added, with a grin.
As usual.
The typical venom between the rivals will likely only escalate this time around. Pittsburgh has won each of the previous two playoff meetings, using victories in 2008 and 2009 as springboards to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Throw in Philadelphia's addition of former Pittsburgh stars Jaromir Jagr and Max Talbot and the Flyers coaching staff calling out the Penguins for dirty play and there's more than enough bile to go around.
The series starts on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh, where the Penguins have home-ice advantage in name only.
