Trying to matchup against McDavid on the road? Maybe they’ll just dress 15 skaters.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Take 2 goal lead, remove pressure and sit back into the Hakshell, watch as MacD, Flip, and Manning get significant minutes against McDavid. Lose 4-2, unless the goalie steals the game.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I have a meeting right when this game is going on, so I am going to have the delayed gratification of seeing the Epic Troll Job Part III late, **** my life.

 

[Magua]

Sanheim goal confirmed.

 

[CanadianSniper]

I'll be at this game, snagged row 3 tickets right behind the Flyers bench, couldn't be more excited.
Losing streak is snapped and the Oilers will be dressing 2 AHL quality goaltenders, should be a good one.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Lol brossoit is so bad they will probably play so back up over him. Either way it will be interesting game. battle of the turds.

 

[Rodu58]

What's better than a 10 game losing streak? Two ten game losing streaks back to back!!

 

[dats81]

The Oilers are vulnerable defensively and their goaltending has been bad this season even before Talbot gut hurt.

I'm fairly confident the Flyers can find a way to lose this one

 

[Philly Fanatik]

And McDavid is questionable with an illness...

 

[Rebels57]

Go Oilers.

 

[BillDineen]

And McDavid is questionable with an illness...

Manningitis.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Manningitis.

Haha yep, widdle baby is chicken**** of being punched to death by the big bad Manbearpig.

 

[BernieParent]

Sanheim goal confirmed.

"Travis – no, not you, Konecny!! – Manning and Hagg need about 30 seconds of rest. Get on the ice, score a goal and COME RIGHT BACK TO THE BENCH!!"

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Time for McDavid to get over being sick and dominate the Flyers. I don't think this past win is going to mean back to back wins.

 

[McNasty]

I just imagine Hakstol blaming Konecny for Provorov's penalty...

 

[Flyerfan4life]

I'll be at this game, snagged row 3 tickets right behind the Flyers bench, couldn't be more excited.
Losing streak is snapped and the Oilers will be dressing 2 AHL quality goaltenders, should be a good one.

[McNasty]

[bennysflyers16]

#FreeTravisSquared

 

[BernieParent]

Can we activate a #GoPlayMe fund for the Travis'?

 

[CanadianSniper]

plz for the love of god make a #FireHak sign... plzzz plzzz plzz

I prefer #FreeTravis

#FreeTravisSquared

Haha I was actually thinking of making a sign but hadn't decided what. These are all great. Let's take a vote and I'll make the most popular one. I do like the FreeTravisSquared one lol

 

[Curufinwe]

How about this for a sign:

This coach is a TRAVISTY

 

[Beef Invictus]

Let's make it 12... oh wait.

Watching Patrick, TK, and Sanheim sit for damned near half the game made it feel like a loss.

 

[McNasty]

Watching Patrick, TK, and Sanheim sit for damned near half the game made it feel like a loss.

If you really want to have fun go look at how many games Vandevelde played what Patrick's line did.
