[SolidSnakeUS]

Keep the ball rolling! Good song MSE!

 

[Nvxs07]

Nice choice in song. Hate boston cause my ex used to bandwagon them _-_ Hope we win this since they are struggling. (not as bad as we are but still)

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Also dislike Boston. They beat the other team I chear for, in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Ugggg.

 

[swflyers93]

Sam Carchidi ‏@BroadStBull 52s52 seconds ago

Grossmann will miss three weeks, Flyers say.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Awesome. Watch this team go on a tear without him around. Then Berube puts him back in and wonders why we suck again...

 

[Striiker]

Bruins will probably own us like usual, we've won two in a row so now we're due for some losses.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Keep the ball rolling! Good song MSE!

Nice choice in song.

A double shot!

Pantera was the preference of an HF alum (Opus) and the choice of songs irrefutably had him slamming under the auspices of self-reliance and cosmic relief.

The first post of this thread has been updated.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

This is also one of the games in which the Flyers' alternate jerseys is scheduled to be worn.

 

[TCTC]

Bruins will probably own us like usual, we've won two in a row so now we're due for some losses.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the team piles up some wins this month. Most of the games will be at home and now that they are far away from a playoff spot they'll probably start winning again.

 

[Danko]

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the team piles up some wins this month. Most of the games will be at home and now that they are far away from a playoff spot they'll probably start winning again.

I wouldnt be surprised if this happens either.

 

[TheKingPin]

If they are serious about making a run for a playoff spot today will show it. Last game was well played and we don't have a big negative on our D anymore. Bruins are struggling. If we see a big effort we know this team is serious now. If we see lack luster play we know nothing has changed.

 

[RJ8812*]

I never realized how bad their blueline looks. It's just as bad as ours

 

[Rebels57]

I never realized how bad their blueline looks. It's just as bad as ours

What the **** are you talking about?

 

[Jray42]

I never realized how bad their blueline looks. It's just as bad as ours

Are we looking at the same blue line?

 

[TheKingPin]

I never realized how bad their blueline looks. It's just as bad as ours

Haha

 

[Hardnell]

Last game was well played and we don't have a big negative on our D anymore.

Confused... How is MacDonald and MDZ starting, not a big negative?

 

[Domino666]

Even though the Broons are struggling they're still a very dangerous team, with an elite goalie to boot, the Flyers need to bring they're A+ game today to stay competitive

 

[MadFerIt95*]

Outside of their top 2 I dont think their D men are that impressive, but their top 2 is much better than our entire defense

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Confused... How is MacDonald and MDZ starting, not a big negative?

ummm MDZ is anything but a negative....

esp. compared to the pylon that is Grossmann...

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Starters: Mason, Coburn-Schultz, B. Schenn-Giroux-Voracek

Starting goalies: Mason vs. Rask

Non-IR scratches: Colaiacovo, Grossmann, Rinaldo (BOS: Eriksson replaces Caron)

Referees: T.J. Luxmore #49 and Chris Rooney #5

 

[Halladay]

I expect this game will be good for the tank.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

tbh im surprized no Zac-attack for this game...

 

[RJ8812*]

What the **** are you talking about?

Are we looking at the same blue line?

Haha

Their bleuline is not very good.

Chara is not a top pairing defenseman anymore. Hamilton will obviously be real good in the future, but he shouldnt be on the top pair with Chara yet. McQuaid is a 6th defenseman, and so is Miller. Seidenberg is a good complimentary defenseman. Krug is good, but poor off the puck.

I was exaggerating about it being as bad as our, but it still is not very good. If you wonder why they're struggling, it's the blueline.

Trading Boychuk really hurt them

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Rask vs. Flyers: 7-1-1, 1.90 GAA
