[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Sunday: Practice is scheduled at 11:00 a.m. in Voorhees.

 

[RoDu]

can't be any worse?

 

[thelos]

Think we'll see any lineup changes?

 

[SuchySays]

win or die.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Think we'll see any lineup changes?

My choice is Gagner in to top line. Raffl to 4 th and VV out.

Gudas for Manning.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Looks like Gagner in with Coots/Schenn. Simmonds to 3rd line...Umberger out.

 

[Striiker]

I guess Umberger got hurt?

 

[FLYguy3911]

I'll be at this one.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Manning and Vinny need to not be on the ice again.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I guess Umberger got hurt?

Maintenance day apparently.

 

[Striiker]

Maintenance day apparently.

Because he's banged up, I assume?

Didn't he miss the end of the last game? The beats are saying Gagner is going to be on the 2nd line tomorrow and Simmonds on the 3rd so I assume it's an injury to Umberger instead a result of poor play.

Sam's really the only one saying he's out & Gagner's in for tomorrow so who knows.

 

[Striiker]

Sam's really the only one saying he's out & Gagner's in for tomorrow so who knows.

True. We'll have to wait to see i guess.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

mason starting? also, i p***yed out and flipped channels to watch college football after 0-4 start, was neurvith decent or...

 

[BringBackHakstol]

mason starting? also, i p***yed out and flipped channels to watch college football after 0-4 start, was neurvith decent or...

He was fine

 

[sigma six]

He was fine

Props for the Ringworm avy.

 

[UKFlyers]

Why is this team always still on the golf course until the second half of October? I'd just like a strong performance and a win to give me something to go on for the rest of the season. Is that so hard?

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Props for the Ringworm avy.

Thanks, love the artwork a lot on that album

 

[Jtown]

i wonder what would happen if we get blown out again.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

i wonder what would happen if we get blown out again.

More than likely nothing. Can't fire the coach & Hextall still needs to let some things play out in regards to trades.

 

[Jtown]

More than likely nothing. Can't fire the coach & Hextall still needs to let some things play out in regards to trades.

yeah i dont expect anything dramatic, but another team meeting? Hfboard meltdown?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

yeah i dont expect anything dramatic, but another team meeting? Hfboard meltdown?

Hextall would probably blow a gasket on them again.

As for on here I'm sure some will while others will just be annoyed they wasted their time watching it or flat out don't care much by it.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

RJ doesn't deserve to be scratched if it was actually a coaches decision...

Can't believe I just said that.

 

[Striiker]

People melt down on this website over the tiniest ****, if they get blown out again we're going to need to put some people on a watch list.

You could make a Bingo board out of the predictable stupid reactions, including Giroux is a bad captain, the team need more grinders, Manning wasn't that bad and I don't get why people are down on him after only 3 games, and many more.

Personally, I'll be annoyed if they get blown out but it wouldn't change anything at all... the team is still the team we expected and anyone with a clue knows they're a few years from being real contenders. It's not like this team has all our best prospects up and we're expecting big things and seeing the opposite. No reason to be legitimately worried.
