GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Take What You Want" by the Cars

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This awesome, awesome music signals to me that this is a very big one, the very biggest of the ones so far.

 

[Tripod]

Incoming loss

I told you a few days ago that I'd get them on. But the more obscure the better, title appropriate for the pro-tanking initiative.

Did you ever see them live? That's one band I would have killed to see, and don't have any idea why I didn't aside from just not going to many shows in general.

Yes, more than once. They had a reputation for being cold and even stoic on stage, The songs performed live sounded almost similar to the recordings. They were in essence the anti-rock star, reluctant, rock stars. Mostly introverts. Their persona changed due to the influence of MTV. I had the opportunity to meet Benjamin Orr, who has since passed to cancer, a couple of times. He had a remarkable voice, sang about 40% of their songs. As Ric Ocasek said at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies "Benjamin was supposed to be the lead singer, I was supposed to be the good looking one." Funny stuff.

Simmonds showcase game right here

I know this is one of their hits, but I love this song! Maybe if we were "driving" toward the playoffs it would be more appropriate.

 

[Embiid]

Looking forward to seeing them try....

 

[wuf]

We're gonna get blanked. But in a world where we would score, I hope JVR and Simmonds do. JVR needs to keep rolling, Simmonds needs to tempt a contender.

I honestly hope the guy gets to go win a cup, just no room to do it here in Philly.

 

[FlyTimmo]

We are due for a stinker.

 

[BiggE]

Weise has been waived, my heart swells with joy

 

[04hockey]

just hope Bruins management keeps an eye on Marchand while they're in Philly

Lmfao.

Now that’s good work. I’m surprised Cap didn’t think that vile concoction up.

 

[tictactoe]

We are due for a stinker.

We have nothing but stinkers all season long...

anyway I hope Raffl and Lindblom step up their game.. same goes for Simmonds.. I want Simmer to finish strong for us.

 

[TheKingPin]

Minny is a subpar team playing poorly. This will be a different story. They will capitalize on our mistakes and not give many up.

 

[Striiker]

As is tradition, the game after scoring a lot, we will score 2 or less.

 

[baudib1]

We're gonna kill these idiots.

 

[Normand Lacombe]

Boston probably playing Halak tonight since teams almost always rest their starter against us. Since we scored 7 the other night, the Flyers will return to their struggling ways of scoring goals.

Does it really matter? Halak has been playing like a bonafide starter this season anyway.

 

[BiggE]

Hopefully some other team will ride Weise off into the sunset before noon today.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

HAPPY B-DAY KILLER!!



EVEN WHEN HES HAPPY HE LOOKS PYSCHO....HAHA

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Ya, this feels like a loss.

 

[Foggy14]

Yeah, definitely a dangerous type of game.

 

[Alex K]

Well, tonight we'll see the different show
