I don't care what the odds are I am betting on Jeff Carter scoring a goal

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

 

[FlyerNutter]

It’s been so long, but they were indeed happier times.

 

[Rich Nixon]

I don't care what the odds are I am betting on Jeff Carter scoring a goal

Bet on the hatty.

 

[flyerslducks]

Damnit now we have to watch us get blown out by these f***s. We easily should’ve been where they are. No way are they more talented than our team if we had solid defense, goaltending, and a reliable coach/structure.

A goal? As in one?

Just shorten this to "if not for AV" from now on.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Not going to waste my time on this garbage team the rest of the year. Pens 5-3

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I will listen to the game. At least Saunders and Coates aren’t going to polish the turd on the ice unlike the TV crew

 

[bennysflyers16]

My hopes for the outcome 100% depend if Hart is playing, if not, Embarrass the f*** out of them once again.

[Limeyjim]

Any predictions about how badly the Penguins are going to beat the Flyers? We all know it's going to happen, so I just want to get everyone's idea about how bad it'll be. The worst defeat they every had in club history was in 1968 the Chicago Blackhawks beat them 12-0 on home ice. This season they lost a 9-0 loss to the New York Rangers, will the Pens (who are a far better team than the Flyers, and they have been for the past decade) could set the new record by being the Flyers 13-0. That's how bad the Flyers have become.

 

[Rodu58]

nope

 

[Fight4yourRight]

7-3 loss. Book it.

 

[deadhead]

We match up better against the Pens, Caps are too physical for the Flyers these days.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Maybe so, but I fully expect this entire team to give very little out of them for the rest of the season. They’re mentally checked out.

 

[Here4ThaLids]

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Hopefully Malkin gets injured. While scoring gwg ofcourse.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[swflyers93]

Yeah, I'm going to pass on this one.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I don't care what the odds are I am betting on Jeff Carter scoring a goal

Bet on the hatty.

Since he only scores in blowouts, you guys are on the right track.

 

[mize370]

I hope Elliot starts this one. I heard AV say he made some key saves and battled really hard. Just like his boy Hayes did. It

 

[flyerslducks]

We match up better against the Pens, Caps are too physical for the Flyers these days.

like they were last year? We killed caps last year and they were just as physical

 

[flyerslducks]

i would be down for us to win the remaining pens games and lose everything else. f*** the pens
