[FlyTimmo]

No Vasi, no problem.

I doubt the Lightning have a problem with this team.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

LET'S GET READY TO CRUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Going to be a fun night.

Erm, Afternoon.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Going to be a fun night.

Erm, Afternoon.

Another STUPID start time on the weekend. Make it stop.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Another STUPID start time on the weekend. Make it stop.

Get ready! November 23rd another 1pm start!

 

[bennysflyers16]

I’m walking in the Santa Claus parade Sat and was gonna watch first two periods first. Probably not a good idea,

A Santa parade? Five days before U.S. Thanksgiving?

 

[bennysflyers16]

A Santa parade? Five days before U.S. Thanksgiving?

Winnipeg it’s too cold to have in December lol

 

[bennysflyers16]

Tampa more PP goals tonight than the Flyers in last how many games ??!

 

[Rebels57]

Ya'll got any of that Fire Hakstol?

 

[Flyers Faithful]

Here’s to this being the last game hak ever coaches the flyers.

 

[Rebels57]

The lack of urgency by the entire organization, on down to the players, is profoundly sad.

 

[Rebels57]

Here’s to this being the last game hak ever coaches the flyers.

I think you mean the 145th to last game.

 

[Danko]

Wait a darn minute...your telling me we have to play Tampa now? Fantastic.

 

[klutch]

Way better things to do Saturday, like chores.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

I’m walking in the Santa Claus parade Sat and was gonna watch first two periods first. Probably not a good idea,

go dressed like bad santa with a bottle of stoli and a sign that says "you would be drunk too ,if you were a flyers fan like me.

 

[deadhead]

Watch the Flyers win this one 6-4. With Pickard playing out of his mind.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Usually when it’s bad you see anger and passionate chants. We’re seeing, or at least I’m seeing more of, apathy and pure boredom instead. Sad times. Hakstol is a hockey leech born from the uterus of a hockey succubus dwelling in the pit of hockey hell. Just slithers by sucking the life out of everyone and everything.

 

[Jray42]

Why is EVERY Saturday a 1 o’clock game I can’t stand this

 

[RANKKA]

Why is EVERY Saturday a 1 o’clock game I can’t stand this

i'll love it

 

[Magua]

i'll love it

Just wait until first intermission. Then we’ll see how much you love it.

 

[Hakroach]

Just wait until first intermission. Then we’ll see how much you love it.

At least we here in Europe can stop watching at that point and go cry ourselves to sleep.

 

[Alex K]

Vasilevskiy is injured so at least we won't be shut out again.
