Dale Weise is a foot

 

[Limeyjim]

Afternoon games are usually losses for the Flyers. I hope it's not what happens, but if they rely on Elliot as the starting goalie, it could get really ugly in a hurry. Chicago will be playing with a chip on their shoulder, since Q was fired because of their lousy record this season.

 

[Rebels57]

[Rebels57]

Im only watching this if Meatpig ManDog Manning plays.

 

[Hurricane28]

Does Manning get a video?

 

[Striiker]

Im only watching this if Meatpig ManDog Manning plays.

Best case scenario: Manning plays, looks like typical horrible Meatshield, we score a bunch, fights Weal.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Does Manning get a video?

Yep. 15 seconds long; crazy Ottawa goal, McDavid hit.

 

[TheKingPin]

I bet Hakstol finds a way to get manning out there in the last minute some way some how.

 

[Chinatown88]

I hate afternoon games with a passion.

 

[BernieParent]

Does Manning get a video?

A gif at best.

 

[MillerTime2181]

Funny the Blackhawks are up next. Anyone see the atrocious "blockbuster" trade proposal on the main boards? Beyond ridiculous from the Flyers perspective and there's still Hawks fans defending it and saying the Flyers would have to add. Had to be a joke post. I don't even think it'd work in Playstation.

 

[marcsson68]

Another underachieving team coming up. You can say that our point streak isn´t worth a thing because of the lowly opposition we have faced, but well… these games are the ones that used to end in frustration in recent years. Keep on winning and let the haters hate.

Points are points. Nobody feels bad for the Flyers when they’re on a losing streak.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

A gif at best.

 

[deadhead]

Good teams beat bad teams, split with other good teams and garner 100+ points that way.
You have to beat bad teams at home if you want to make the playoffs.

Mediocre teams get motivated to play good teams, then play down to bad teams and lose games they should win.

 

[Hurricane28]

This board's photoshop game is top notch

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Mandog has been riding the press box lately. Such a shame, that way his damage is limited only to dead cap and not actual on ice play. Hope the hawks are stuck in gutter for next 10 years.

 

[Jray42]

Another 1:00 game? UGHHHHH

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Ya just know boxcar scores a few goals on us if he's playing.

 

[tictactoe]

Time to bump Manning appreciation thread... Ha-ha

 

[deadhead]

To be fair to Manning, the Blackhawk defense sucks.
Keith and Jokiharju are the only decent ones, Seabrook has really slipped and Davidson might be worse than Manning.
Hagg and Folin might have a shot at being their 2nd pair.

Not sure anyone on this team plays defense anymore.

 

[AdamParrot]

To be fair, Hawks fans are sadly with Manning. WHAT A SHOCK.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

To be fair, Hawks fans are sadly with Manning. WHAT A SHOCK.

Worst player flyers had in past 5 years. Can't even imagine how much worse it must feel for them given they might have expected a useful player and then pay him 2 million on top of that lol.

 

[Tripod]

To be fair to Manning, the Blackhawk defense sucks.
Keith and Jokiharju are the only decent ones, Seabrook has really slipped and Davidson might be worse than Manning.

Hagg and Folin play in our top 4 too.
