[Captain Dave Poulin]

At least we tried. Oh ...

At least we'll try. Umm ...

Fire Hakstok.

 

[pit]

 

[BernieParent]

My office Christmas party couldn't come at a better time.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Maybe this is the game that finally kills me.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

My office Christmas party couldn't come at a better time.

take some pics of drunk co workers in compromising situations, and post gifs. so we have something to cheer us up. watching the games is bringing everyone down.

 

[Embiid]

 

[Rebels57]

 

[FlyerNutter]

I can’t wait until the next home game if that man is still behind the bench.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

They tried their best

 

[FlyerNutter]

Waiting to see Knob/Lappy take over after Hak is let go.

 

[Magua]

Excited to see Pettersson destroy MacDonald and make his knees turn to jelly with dekes.

 

[Tripod]

Couts on a 70 point pace this year.

 

[OzFlyers]

Last game of the Hakstol era.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

SOUNDS LIKE MAJOR INJURY SETBACK FOR ONE OF THE BRITTLEFLY BROS...

 

[RANKKA]

SOUNDS LIKE MAJOR INJURY SETBACK FOR ONE OF THE BRITTLEFLY BROS...

[Doodootheclown]

I hope we get destroyed, again.

*edit* I would take Kurt Russell as head coach at this point.

 

[Flyers Faithful]

This has to be Hakstols last game as Flyers coach. I don’t even want to consider that it isn’t.

 

[Hakroach]

*sigh* we'll likely win this. Hak is on shaky ground but a win will once again null the Fire Hakstok counter. "He won a game. Maybe, just maybe he isn't a bad coach..."

 

[catbellysqueezer]

They might as well put curling on the tv again tonight

 

[tictactoe]

why show up if they do not? sad smile...

 

[ellja3]

*sigh* we'll likely win this. Hak is on shaky ground but a win will once again null the Fire Hakstok counter. "He won a game. Maybe, just maybe he isn't a bad coach..."

I feel like this is going to happen and it's so disgusting.

 

[mja]

I hope we get destroyed, again.

*edit* I would take Kurt Russell as head coach at this point.

Dude, I'd f***ing take Keri Russell as head coach at this point.

 

[Tripod]

Dude, I'd ****ing take Keri Russell as head coach at this point.

Oh Felicity....smokin'

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is he going to change every single line and pairing again? That's his only strategy.

Except for PP2. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING.
