Flyers Open 2011-12 Season Tonight in Boston

BOSTON, Mass. (CBS) - After a busy and interesting off-season, the Philadelphia Flyers are ready to drop the puck on a new season.

The Flyers have their work cut out for them in this first game, as they visit the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins tonight.
