The Flyers Will Play in Europe Next Season

Report:

I'm hearing the #Flyers will play at least one game in Europe next season. The NHL will have an official announcement later this month.

I checked in with Anthony, who said this:

“Two games in Europe next season… likely a divisional opponent. Haven’t gotten the opponent or the city yet.”

Anthony says the official announcement will be on March 21st. He doesn’t think the Penguins are the opponent.

Big question – will this count as a home game or a road game? If there are two games, is it one of each?

Some discussion, after the jump:

Interesting.

I see people mentioning Prague on Twitter. That would Czech a number of a boxes, since Jake Voracek and Radko Gudas are from there. Get it? Czech a number of boxes?

Anyway, consider this:

If they do an exhibition game in Europe, they'll also be part of a regular season opener. I agree that Prague is the most likely locale with the tie-in being Voracek and Gudas. Could be Sweden as well (Lindblom & Hägg) but Voracek has the most name recognition.
