Great song choice again.

Let's hope they get their revenge. The last two games took away the sting, but we still need to win this game after what happened in Nashville.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Practice will not be held tomorrow (Wedn.).

 

[Beef Invictus]

Practice will not be held tomorrow (Wedn.).

I'll allow it

 

[Hurricane28]

The over under on hot dogs (dollar dog night) consumed by me is 7.5. Place your bets

 

[Hurricane28]

Revenge Game. Lets get it

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

f*** revenge, lets hope the game will be as fun as the first one. We need a lot of fun hockey to take away the stink of seasons past.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Time to make up for that awful loss and come right back at them. Do it!

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The over under on hot dogs (dollar dog night) consumed by me is 7.5. Place your bets

I bet you are going to puss out after 6, but I dare you to go for 10. Remember, you are eating for two - I haven't had a hot dog in 5 years and I am ****ing starving.

 

[flyersjim73]

Good time for this game. Would be easy to take their foot off the pedal after two big wins but the revenge factor should keep their attention.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Plus Neuvirth is fiery hot and might be able to cover for usual suspects. Sorry I don't have the pic saved.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, Neuvirth definitely deserves to start this one.

 

[Tripod]

I bet you are going to puss out after 6, but I dare you to go for 10. Remember, you are eating for two - I haven't had a hot dog in 5 years and I am ****ing starving.

This needs to be your signature tag....lol.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This needs to be your signature tag....lol.

I know I am obnoxious about it, but it feels like it helps a little to vent, whether that is via death fart or whining on the internet lol.

 

[Alex91]

So if simmer is a no go I'm guessing options include:

1) Lethera taking his spot on 2RW
2) Weise going 2RW and Lethera 3LW
3) Read called up and playing 2RW 3 LW
4) Raffl 2RW and Read/Lethera 4LW (unlikely)

 

[Rebels57]

They probably wont change the other 3 lines. Im guessing Simmer plays and scores.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Sanheim goes in for Simmonds. It's all apart of the learning process.

 

[TheKingPin]

So apparently the flyers have a Rick Flair robe as their player of the game item this year. That's about as ridiculous as it gets.

An absolute revenge game here. They need to be possessed and get 2 points here.

 

[Domino666]

I know ESPN is a joke when it comes to hockey but they have the Stars ranked higher than the Flyers in theit power rankings

 

[HighOFFHockey]

I know ESPN is a joke when it comes to hockey but they have the Stars ranked higher than the Flyers in theit power rankings

lol those power rankings are pathetic....and the media wonders why they're dying...it's like cab drivers wondering why they were replaced by Uber....well tiy weren't very good to begin with...

 

[Freddy The Fog]

I want crushing vengeance.

 

[Rebels57]

I know ESPN is a joke when it comes to hockey but they have the Stars ranked higher than the Flyers in theit power rankings

Meanwhile they posted an article by Wyshynski today proclaiming the Flyers "are for real."

Turning alot of heads right now. I love it. Had to hear praise about the Canes all summer. Finally Philly get some notice

 

[bennysflyers16]

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I could eat 2 or 3 hot dogs. my appetite is pretty good. just not for hot dogs
