Post-Game Talk: #45 | FLYERS (H) vs. Islanders (A) | Sunday, Apr. 18, 2021 | OT loss 1-0

[Stumble40]

Boston has become what we used to be.

How do u mean?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I'm gonna watch Logan's Run. It's about a society.

Of all the movies I've watched, that is one of them.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Definitely not. Death by pressure points.

I'd eat it

 

[Garbage Goal]

If I have nothing better to do I stop at nothing to find something better to do.

Yeah, I don't get it. I'm a Flyers fan, but not a sports fan I guess? Not a hardcore fan maybe, iunno. I get not being fairweather and sticking with your team through the rough times, but they've got to do their part too and they haven't for like a decade now.

I'd rather rewatch an action movie I've seen a thousand times or sleep or hit myself over the head than subject myself to the Flyers this season. Not only are they not fun and extremely frustrating, I know it's going to ultimately be a waste of time for me in every sense of the word. Between no reward for the crap season, no playoffs (and not going anywhere if they do), how bad they are, and all the usual crap. It's not fun, there's no immediate or long-term reward, it's not satisfying or calming.

Couldn't bring myself to waste an entire Sunday night on this nonsense. Only looking at the numbers Allison led the team in CF% and xGF%, how was he?

 

[Kelmitchell2]

I'd rather lose in regulation at this point, but I can't believe Hayes was given a long term contract, he's never done anything to show he deserves it, he's such a lazy, slow, and complacent player and it pisses me off watching him give no effort night in and night out

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Great second period, sub-par third. Awful OT.

Was cool to be back in the WFC tho

 

[Beef Invictus]

I somehow forgot about the bizarre sex dungeon

 

[baudib1]

5 more years of Hayes LMAO

wake me up when AV and Fletcher are gone

 

[Beef Invictus]

The cat scene is like watching Elliott drift all over the ice

 

[GapToothedWonder]

I don't care what some of you guys say I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD GAME . We seemed to run out of gas about half way thru the third but give NYI goalie credit he was good tonight .

A "hockey guy" being jacked up about a 1-0 overtime lose is so hilariously on brand.

[Ironmanrulez]

Hayes games are symbolic for the "NEW WAY" of this franchise. Slow, egomanic, boring as hell.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

The Flyers need a true #1 defenseman,an adequate backup goalie and shed two or three ludicrous salaries to even compete in their own division...let alone even getting into a conversation about playing for a Cup!

[Amorgus]

Shhhh, Carousel is starting.

The senior management is long overdue for Carousel

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Sorokin wishes he could play Philly every game, lol.

Shades of Niitty vs Atlanta

 

[Ghosts Beer]

On the bright side, I'm glad I missed this one.

On the down side, I was stuck at PHL for 7 hours due to a delayed flight.

 

[Audible Velvet]

I fell asleep for overtime. Protective instinct I suppose.
Sorry to abandon you, Trav. I still think you're the bee's knees.

 

[BernieParent]

I'm gonna watch Logan's Run. It's about a society.

That's the movie about the society that makes it mandatory to waive players who are Giroux and Voracek's age, right?

That's the one, yes. And everyone is a defective weirdo.


It's all just allegory for the Flyers. In the end everything explodes and there's no reason to believe anyone will survive.

Chuck probably thrives in nuclear radiation, like some kind of bowlcut roach.

It's a Flyers tradition.

Nothing new about that

 

[flyersnorth]

Small sample size, but Allison seems to be the real deal. Really like his constant drive to the net and high motor. He stands out on an otherwise pretty apathetic squad.

It's the first time I can remember abandoning a scoreless Flyers game. Tuned out before the end of the 2nd.

On the plus side, I'm one episode closer to the Counterpart season 1 finale. Apparently it was cancelled after two seasons for being "too male."

*sigh*

I wish they could just cancel this Flyers' season instead.
