GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Bicycle Song" by Orbit

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I have to edit some stuff still lol but I wanted to get this up.

EDIT: I'm going to have to edit this in the morning.

 

[Starat327]

Too Soon. Im still reeling from tonight.

 

[Striiker]

Too Soon. Im still reeling from tonight.

This is a good thing, I think.

They should be pissed off and come out on fire. Close enough to still be mad, but enough time to take a breather and regroup.

 

[CanadianSniper]

Can't possibly be worse than last game....


Right?

 

[Starat327]

This is a good thing, I think.

They should be pissed off and come out on fire. Close enough to still be mad, but enough time to take a breather and regroup.

You dont put a soldier suffering from PTSD back in to the warzone. Give us a breather!

 

[magnumpi]

3-3 shootout loss

 

[magnumpi]

Better Bike song

and it fits the insanity of Hakstol

 

[Beef Invictus]

oh another game

 

[The Burdened]

They better f***ing dominate and show some fire.

Anything less is unacceptable.

 

[Beef Invictus]

So there's actually a better than 50% chance that Elliott goes again.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I'm fully convinced Elliott starts again

 

[deadhead]

Elliott should never start again if we can help it.
I thought he looked OK the first two games, but tonight he looked like an arthritic old man fumbling his car keys.

 

[freakydallas13]

I'm fully convinced Elliott starts again

"No choice"

"nit-picking"

etc.

 

[Magua]

Something something unsustainable results bad process game 1.

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

Big match up between a total dumpster fire of a team and the Ottawa Senators.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Mommy make the bad man stop.

 

[Limeyjim]

Why can't the Flyers send Elliot to Lehigh Valley? I know they'd probably need to put him on waivers to do it, but if someone takes him, what are the Flyers losing?
I'd rather put in Pickard, and bring Stolarz up to be the back up.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

The Flyers are in the same position for this game that the Sharks were after their Isles game.

This will prove how much pride is in the locker room; another embarrassing performance and we know for sure that Hak has lost the room.

Time for the big boys to put their big boy pants on.

Hold the fort, Pickard.

That kind of makes me wish for an embarrassing performance.

 

[TheKingPin]

Elliot wasn’t great but I feel like the last games abomination was on the skaters. Even Provy was bad. Hopefully they pick up two wins in a row here.

 

[dats81]

We'll be fine. I smell a loser point coming our way

 

[Magua]

Can’t wait to see if Jeff goes nuclear on the lineup.

-Sanheim sitting for Folin (mortal lock)
-Konecny on the 4th line
-Lehtera switching with Misha
-Weisebiscuit getting his saddle ready
-Splitting the top pair
-VandeVelde getting delivered overnight from Austria

The blender possibilities are endless!

if any of this comes true. I'm glad I'll be at work for this one.

 

[Doodootheclown]

I would actually sort of be impressed if he threw the same exact line up out there, minus Elliott. I want to see how they respond. But I'm sure they'll tweak something.
