The Flyers ended their regular season with a 4-2 loss Saturday to the same Pittsburgh Penguins that they will meet in the first round of the playoffs.

Afterward, they didn't provide bulletin board material. They did everything but channel Vince McMahon's late, great XFL.

Brayden Schenn: "There's a lot of bad blood between the two teams already. And there's going to be more."

Claude Giroux:  "We're not big fans, of their players."

Scott Hartnell:  "I'm sure there will be a lot of blood. And a lot of goals."

Max Talbot:  "Momentum or hatred or whatever is going to start Wednesday. And it is going to be fun."

There hasn't been that much pre-event honesty in football since Super Bowl III.

So bring on the playoffs ... and the video clips.
