I don't advocate curb stomping, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.

need a pre game pic of oskar, to break the curse.......... please.

Nothing is working. Perhaps former numbers attached to current players will snap the skid.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

thanks bud, i have faith that this may do the trick.

The Litter Box Challenge

 

[Magua]

Monday watching the Flyers......

Tuesday watching the Flyers......

Thursday getting ready to watch the Flyers.....

 

[Harhis]

Make it 9!!! Should be doable.

 

[YamCork]

Haven't watched the last 7 games.

Do we look like Stanley Cup contenders?

What a f***ing depressing season

 

[BiggE]

Guessing Seguin and Benn will both climb out of the toilet for this one.

sigh

 

[TheKingPin]

I wouldn’t mind a Hart SO here. Only way we are winning anyway.

 

[FlyTimmo]

We need to start putting some ground between us and the rest of the Lose for Hughes brigade, cause you just know we are going to win a bunch right at the end of the year.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

anyone else hoping q is watching these games, so he knows what to fix,if he decides to be the next coach here.

 

[Striiker]

Objectives for the game

-Giroux points
-Young player development
-the hunt for Jack Hughes continues

 

[landsbergfan]

I'm hoping he is not so there's still a chance he decides to be the next coach here

 

[TheKingPin]

Not yet, but soon they should look to get G less minutes. Rest him more and push the kids up.

 

[JXC]

LETS GO

 

[BiggE]

LETS GO

Crazy?

 

[bennysflyers16]

We are going to lose. So a 1-0 loss where Hart makes 38 saves would be ideal.

 

[dats81]

I hope they score some and lose the game in the final minutes of the game to strengthen the tank.

Rommy kind of closes the bathroom door, poops in the liter box[ I tried having him use the toilet, but it did not work] , re-opens the door and runs around the house as if he scored the winning goal in the SCFs.

Watching the Flyers is painful funny. It is like watching Dangerfield and Rickles on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and having a toothache at the same time.

Out of curiosity, what is the longest losing streak in the history of the NHL????

 

[Danko]

keep telling myself im not gonna watch but there's nothing else on

17 games by 74-75 Caps and 92-93 Sharks.
