Claude Giroux doesn't have a goal. Peter Laviolette doesn't have a job. Do the Philadelphia Flyers have a prayer?

The Penguins (http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/) aren't counting out their biggest rival. When they meet Thursday in Philadelphia, the Penguins have an opportunity to take a 10-point lead on the Flyers just two weeks into the season.

“I am surprised to see them with the record they have now,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.

The numbers speak for themselves:

• At 1-6-0, the Flyers have the NHL's worst record and fewest amount of points (two).

• The Flyers have scored 10 goals in seven games, equating to the second-to-worst goals-per-game average at 1.43.

• Giroux, dubbed the “best player in the world” by then-coach Laviolette when the Flyers defeated the Penguins in the first round of the 2012 playoffs, has zero goals and two assists.

“It's fine (that they're struggling),” Penguins defenseman Matt Niskanen said. “I'm not sad about it. I'm not cheering for them to fail, but I'm not sad that they are, either.”

Now watch the Flyers come out and beat the Pens 5-1 or something. Wounded animals can be deadly.

I look for the Flyers to goon it up tonight and try to goad the Penguins into taking some stupid penalties.

You mean, like normal?

Well, the Pens are preparing for a battle: 4th line tonight is Glass - Adams - Engelland. Yes, Engelland is playing RW. So if you have nothing to do tonight, grab a beer and tune in. Could be a good one.

Just an FYI, the Pens are up 3-1 with 2 1/2 minutes left to go in the game.

I know it's early, but the Pens have a 10-point lead over the Flyers, and it's only October 18. Big win last night - Fleury was outstanding. Always nice to shut up their jackass fans :)
