[CapnZin]

Does this mean Allison gets a hat trick during the game?

 

[Prongo]

Won’t watch. Having dinner with the mother in law. That’s how bad things have become. Literally watching the game is worst than seeing my MIL. Fire them all.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[Lotusflower]

More pain! Yes!

 

[Beef Invictus]

Another? Already?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lol excellent GDT gif and music


My God what the f*** are we doing here




Rolling waves of exquisite agony for 9 years now. But here we are.

 

[Audible Velvet]

Can you feel the bias for action?

 

[Embiid]

Another opportunity for more shame bell.....

 

[Prongo]

Saw the flyers assigned York to the taxi squad. Maybe they are going to get him some NHL time before this season is over. I know the phantoms are still postponed so it could also just be to get him on the ice.

That’s good news. With the way the Phantoms games are getting postponed, might as well just throw him into the NHL fire.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

81 Carsen Twarynski - 21 Scott Laughton -- 62 Nicolas Aube-Kubel

Laughton will be dragged down by this loosers. Not even his Leadership abilities will help this too. Its a shame!

Pls play Laugthon - Hayes - Andy Andreoff together.

They play the right way. They are leaders for the franchise and leaguewide respected veterans! Thats what this franchise need to win games and be respected by the fan base!

Stop playing all the kids, they are 2 years away anyways!

Why we are paying Laughton 3 for 5 when he cant show his worth 20 minutes a night?
Let this man be the beast he was the last 2 seasons!

i dont want this. NOT THIS SEASON! He would be in depression by the first 10 minutes of his NHL career!

 

[macleish1974]

York listed on T squad as fwd?? Interesting..

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

York listed on T squad as fwd?? Interesting..

The team will have the rare opportunity to have consecutive days of actual practices, that may be the incentive.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Lol excellent GDT gif and music

They are all excellent. Some are more excellenter than others.

 

[CowboyDan]

ooh, another game.

 

[ellja3]

So, game starts at 12:30am my local time. Not sure this is how I want to start the week.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Just please lose.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

York listed on T squad as fwd?? Interesting..

On the scoresheet, E=MSE.

 

[Henry Miller]

I feel like I haven’t seen many 6:30 start times in Flyers history

[renberg]

Just please lose.

Elliott in goal; loss guaranteed.

 

[TheKingPin]

Won’t watch. Having dinner with the mother in law. That’s how bad things have become. Literally watching the game is worst than seeing my MIL. Fire them all.

Wow!

 

[TheKingPin]

This season would be a lot better if York came in and crushed it.
