GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC
"Synchronicity I" by The Police

[FlyTimmo]

Hopefully it is nothing serious for Patrick and he comes back strong on Thursday. I am scared for what Hakstol will do with the lineup if Patrick isn't playing.

Our top 3 centers:
Couturier
Filppula
Lehtera

Scary to think about.

 

[Rebels57]

After our first real clunker of the season, this is a huge game.

 

[FLYguy3911]

They scrapped the D pairings halfway through the game. Whether that was score related, results related, or what I’m not sure but it will be interesting to see what they do. They finished:

Provorov-Sanheim
Ghost-Hagg
Manning-Gudas

If they aren’t going to promote Morin, I actually wouldn’t mind these pairs. They are pretty balanced and going on the road, which matchup would you chase if you were the opposing coach? Instead of getting caught in the matchup game, Hakstol could just roll his lines and pairs. You probably won’t use Ivan in his usual shutdown role if he’s paired with Sanheim, but it may be smart to scale back his minutes a little bit with his recent play. If they are going to play Sanheim on the right side 5 games into his career, they should at least let him play with a decent partner. Manning-Sanheim just seems like everyone loses.

 

[dats81]

Watch for Brian Failliot to start again and again and again... because more is better. Hakslogic.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Nice one, MSE, and you have outdone yourself with the music selection - ****ing greatness

 

[boxcar65]

I just remembered Chris Neil is available(free agent). Let's sign him, put him on the 4th line, and let him wreak havoc against his former team.

Old time Flyers hockey!!!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I really hope Patrick is back for this. I also really hope Morin is in for this. Especially to replace Manning.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Last night was "almost imperceptible, something inexpressible," and as such the tune was picked. If we have a repeat, then I may have to break out Synchronicity II.

Snake, I know you can't stand Manning, but he was not the worst of the bunch on the back end last night. No, I don't think Provy should sit, but the way the D ended the game as far as pairings should be given a shot on Thursday night.

YES, please do ... I mean, I hope there is not a repeat of that slop lol but there is never a bad time to hear The Police. Our defenders were packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes

The old Pontiac's tape deck frayed that cassette not once but twice from excessive playing.

If Patrick is out Giroux should move back to center.

If it weren't for "Mother," that is a perfect album, and a perfect swan song, though I cursed them viciously for ending it, and all so Sting could go have tantric relations with Trudy. Selfish.

Sometimes that happens when GDTs are posted more than a day in advance. A carryover, or unrelated discussion. It changes once we have a practice.

Atleast he would hammer guys on the forecheck and hustle backchecking unlike useless soft weise. Hitting is alive and well in this league but hexy wants soft average forwards. Were still a one line team.

Ah, thanks. Just wasn't sure if it was a mistake or some weird "glitch" with the site.

Andy Summers on lead vocals. My cousin's wife absolutely hated that song. A humorous memory.

Now, the best song on the Gary Cherone-Van Halen album is the song sung by EVH himself and there is no debate to that. None, I won't hear it.

No, oftentimes we speak mundane trivialities before things really pick up....or spiral into the depths of despair.

It troubles me that you are listening to the Gary Cherone Van Halen at all, but I admire your commitment

Past tense. Listened. How else would one know. Honestly, outside the EVH-led vocals, I can't recall one song title.

Their most recent CD with DLR back on vocals was something I found enjoyable. Following successful ventures can be extremely difficult. Recreations get toasted as being unartistic and straying from the known can be paralyzing. The Cars' Heartbeat City was their version of "Synchronicity" meaning a difficult album to follow in the same era. Most critics lambasted "Door to Door" and though unpopular with sales as well as reviews, I thought it was a good finale and what better end than a car door slamming in the final note.

 

[boxcar65]

I saw VH three times during the first DLR era and once back in 2007. Missed them the past couple of tours, but I've downloaded some concerts, and I thought he sounded pretty good a year or two ago. It's never going to be 1982 again, but I would still much rather hear them with Roth than Sammy.

Now THAT is an underrated album, at least today. Since I have already derailed this thread, I am going to tell a quick story and then stop. When I was a junior in high school, there was this senior who looked EXACTLY like Ric Ocasek. We threw together a band for the air jam contest we had - I was the drummer, air drumming, even though I had no idea what I was doing - we did "Just What You Needed" and we ended up winning the whole thing. I went to an all boys private Catholic high school and we had mixers every other month or so, where the girls from the all girls Catholic schools would come over. Our prize for winning the air jam contest was to "perform" at the dance, but beforehand I got too drunk and the other guys wouldn't let me go up, because they knew I would get expelled. That's my one and only rock and roll story - I was too drunk to go on stage and pretend to play drums.

I liked Sammy's rockers but the poppy stuff lacked much substance. I suppose it opened a route to a new audience but "Finish What You Started," Feels So Good" and some other radio staples didn't hold my interest compared to "Pleasure Dome," "Mine All Mine" "Judgment Day" and the extended version of "Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do." Sammy could belt out the vocals but DLR was one-of-a-kind. He had a personality that was unmatched in my view.

Did you ever hear of the story of a fan who filled-in the night Keith Moon was too smashed to go on stage with the Who? You lost your chance. Never give up.
