FROM THE PAST

​

GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Seek and Destroy" by Metallica
​

Just wanted to add a little Metallica of my own, live From Philly at a show I was at

 

[Rebels57]

Mission 98W begins

 

[tictactoe]

I do not know... 4:1 loss.

 

[Magua]

I’m almost ready for the offseason.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

98 wings? you planning a 98 wing challenge?

you can put me down for about 24.

I use to be able to do about 40 to 50

 

[Rebels57]

98 wings? you planning a 98 wing challenge?

you can put me down for about 24.

I use to be able to do about 40 to 50

On super bowl sunday I can easily put down 30-40 before the end of the night.

 

[CapnZin]

Pics or it didn’t happen

 

[Rebels57]

Pics or it didn’t happen

I'll live stream it next time..maybe a Go Pro mounted to my forehead

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

And the MSE GDT returns! A time-honored institution.

Captain Dave will be promoted to the main squad for the opening week of December and with it his unique expressiveness.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Captain Dave will be promoted to the main squad for the opening week of December and with it his unique expressiveness.

congrats to Dave, all those years at Moderator College has paid off.

I'm still trying to pass the final test but there's math and I hate math.

Count the wings eaten as described in your above post and then factor in algebraic properties. That is a sure way to succeed in math.

 

[CapnZin]

I'll live stream it next time..maybe a Go Pro mounted to my forehead

I look forward to it. Maybe that live stream will be more exciting than this mess of a flyers team.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

PHINALLY

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

The best thread of the year.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Count the wings eaten as described in your above post and then factor in algebraic properties. That is a sure way to succeed in math.

What? Algebra wasn't part of the classes I took in school.

Simple math was tough.

 

[flyershockey]

2:00 PM on Friday afternoon is exactly when I get all jacked up for a hockey game. Are the Flyers ever going to open the season in EST? Or have we become akin to that college football team that starts every season on a Thursday night.

Its f***ing bullshit..which is par for the course when youre a Flyers fan.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I look forward to the 8 am season opener in Tokyo next season!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Hockey is back! Don't f*** this up!

 

[bennysflyers16]

Captain Dave will be promoted to the main squad for the opening week of December and with it his unique expressiveness.

[MiamiScreamingEagles]
