[Hiesenberg]

I don't like moral victories, but if the Flyers can atleast make it a game for 60 mins, I'll walk away happy.

 

[klutch]

The true test you scallywags!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Revenge Game!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Kane had 11 shots on goal last game. I think he's ready to score a couple at least on the Flyers.

 

[CapnZin]

NAKs total icetime in the NHL didn’t surpass Weise in ES last night

 

[hatcher]

Sharks are done in this one if we keep skating and competing like the last two games. Build for the playoffs boys.

I think it’s going to take more than that, and probably Weise going back down to earth

 

[hatcher]

These last two games might be against struggling teams but the compete and skating we're awesome to see. Go after the sharks and we'll get em.

ok CDP. worthy gif right there...

 

[BernieParent]

I'm heading out of town for the weekend, so I am posting my prediction here.

Sharks 5-2. Giroux.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Looks like things are going better during these late games that I don’t stay up to watch. I’ll keep up the streak for 2 more games. Go Flyers

[wuf]

We'll get wrecked, 5-1 Sharks

 

[Garbage Goal]

Kane had 11 shots on goal last game. I think he's ready to score a couple at least on the Flyers.

Kane may not be a superstar, but he's a fantasy superstar in any league that counts shots. Dudes as valuable as Giroux for me in a couple of my leagues.

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Guys, I have no clue what to expect, how the heck did we win the last 2, why can't we play like this all the time.

 

[renberg]

how the heck did we win the last 2

Because Anaheim and the Kings are terrible. Both coaches are on the verge of being fired.

 

[gto64dr]

Let's see if, you know the answer, Hak will overplay Elliot or give Neuvy a shot. We all know Neuvy is the more talented of the pair but once he loses he'll ride the pine forever, never getting a chance to get in the groove. On the other hand, good or bad he will ride Elliot until he is hurt or burned out.

oh Hak is totaly gunna ride Elliott until he wears down n breaks.. its how Haks works...

 

[flyersfan187]

The forwards have been driving the play a lot more the last two games. I'm used to seeing them pass to the D for screens and deflections. I wonder if things changed up a bit in the system now or if those teams were just that bad. Maybe Hak should coach in the west??

Unless they change the University of Idaho to "West Dakota," I would say that he doesn't fit any better in the West than he does in the East, North, South, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, or Southwest.

 

[TheKingPin]

I’m interested to see if the last two games could be anything but playing against bad teams. SJ isn’t killing it, but should be a lot tougher. They are driving play, driving to the net and playing an all around more aggressive styles. It would be a miracle but Hak would have to be adapting into the season like this. I don’t see it.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Fairwell and Adue to you fair Spanish ladies, fairwell and adue to you ladies of Spain, for we’ve received orders to sail back to Boston, and so never more shall we see hak again.
Hmhmhmhm.

For anyone on the east coast staying awake tonight for this one we get an extra hour of sleep turning the clocks back an hour.
