GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"You’re the Best" by Joe “Bean” Esposito

​

 

[kudymen]

Those Jeff water sports gifs are going to kill me one day

 

[Tripod]

Jesus Cap!!!

 

[Stizzle]

 

[The Rage Kage]

Clearly gaming the system to get more likes by separating it into three posts.

 

[Magua]

It’s like a Raymond Chandler book. I have no idea how it got where it ended and can’t remember the beginning, but it unquestionably made sense.

Honestly, the game can’t live up to this. Peak entertainment.

 

[DaphneLion]

Where do you come up with this stuff lmfao?

 

[Magua]

I imagine this image captures what it feels like to have a 4 game losing streak and be near the bottom, beat the Rangers, and then have to play the Maple Leafs back to back.

[Flyerfan4life]

inB4 TO puts up a 7 spot on us...

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Please win this game!!!

Clearly gaming the system to get more likes by separating it into three posts.

I know that's a huge concern But last year, during the Penguins one, I got a warning when I tried to post it that said "There is a limit of 35 graphic elements (or something) per post" and I had to split it into two. I remember Tripod yelled at me that I didn't need 15 gifs of the girl giving the Penguins the finger, but I thought it was needed. Today I counted and I was at something like 41 before I got to the stats, records, etc., so I had to figure out how to cram it all in here.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Bonus points for "US Thanksgiving".

 

[Foggy14]

Well done Captain!

 

[gertbfrobe16]

amazing job this is the highlight of this season, so far for me lololol.

 

[baudib1]

oh my goodness

 

[orangey]

That's epic, lol.

 

[Rebels57]

You aint right Cap. You aint right.

 

[OzFlyers]

Leafs have lost 2 in a row and likely facing the backup Sparks. You know how this ends. (but a win would be cool)

 

[GapToothedWonder]

We trail them in every team stat listed in the GDT except face off percentage. Wooooooooo

 

[dats81]

Epic GDT!
Will most likely remain the only reason for a smile because the Leafs are gonna eat this team alive.

 

[Chuck Downie]

This is one of those rare Flyers games on HNIC. Can't wait to hear all of the hot takes by Grapes and the Hot Stove

 

[1865]

Stolarz called up? Won’t he have to go back through waivers if we send him down?

 

[Flyers1928]

better win this f***ing game
