GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Gimme Chocolate!" by Babymetal

​

 

[gertbfrobe16]

awesome as usual lol

 

[Chinatown88]

 

[Bruckuss]

Thanks for the GDT, err reminder, that we are still a pro sports team, and there is an actual game to be played sometime soon

 

[Foggy14]

And the reviews are in!

Try-Hard Garbage's latest effort is a stunner.

In it, Captain D.D. Poulin captures the sense of listlessness and unbearable ennui that is so much a part of being a Flyers fan today.

The work brilliantly depicts the Penguins fans, with their recent Cups, as nothing more than a shallow, self-satisfied, superficial, farting pack of lemmings.

In contrast, Flyers fans are shown living a much richer, albeit desperate and frustrating, existence; one that brings them few joys, but provides a deeper understanding of the true futility of life and it's utter lack of purpose.

Bravo!

Four stars.

 

[kudymen]

The GDT is more structured than the Holmgren/Scott press conference

 

[macleish1974]

You are too fking hilarious......you do know a Hermes bag is too too too French bourgeois unless it's a Kelly or Birkin........

 

[bennysflyers16]

LOL,,

Sucks Jets are playing next 3 vs our Division rivals and no Buff. But we probably get him next weekend

 

[Magua]

Damn this was really high concept. Like a Charlie Kaufman GDT.

 

[pit]

The Sommerman review quote was the hidden gem of that piece.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

As a big fan of Mickey Mouse I am deeply offended by your comparison of him to Sidney Crosby.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

so...whats the general consensus on STOLARZ?? im still on board!

 

[Rebels57]

Assuming Hak is still here, this is the first (and hopefully last) time in my life ill be hoping the Pens beat the Flyers.

 

[Rebels57]

Cap, I need a Try-Hard Garbage Production" t--shirt

 

[BillDineen]

Gimme Chocolate! I would be as nutty as you CDP, if I listened to that every day!

 

[CapnZin]

 

[flyersfan187]

Time to get the Wins. Whichever GM comes in I am sure they already know whether they are keeping Hak or not no matter if the Flyers win or lose this one.

Best we have on the big club right now, way unknown but at least there is hope.

 

[flyers0909]

So is the new third line Weise - Weal - Jake?

Jesus Christ

 

[Oskar Man]

@Captain Dave Poulin I think of this scene every time you do a GDT

 

[flyers0909]

@Appleyard’s Twitter is so depressing right now. Our 4th best scorer this year is going to play 5 minutes a night on the 4th line again.

I don't know the general consensus. My own thought is he's good enough to play in the NHL, and it's up to him to prove it.
