[Captain Dave Poulin]

This one ... the bigness ... someone hold me.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

EDM has not played since January 22. Their lines and pairings posted are based on their practice session today and could be altered in some form.

 

[RonHextall27]

Can't wait for the Manning tribute video.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

we might even have a boxey sighting in the gdt.

 

[Dicky Dangles]

Down with the Oilers!

 

[CanadianSniper]

Dear god those Oilers lines are atrocious. Their winger depth is so bad that they have Lucic and a guy that just recently cleared waivers playing with Connor f***ing McDavid.
This should be a W and I hope Simmonds beats the shit out of Manslop.
If Klefbom cant play and there's a Manning - Petrovic pairing, we could absolutely feast on that s***.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Lucic - McDavid - Rattie

..as our top line. You guys are going to run over us.

 

[Alex K]

27 Milan Lucic - 97 Connor McDavid - 8 Ty Rattie

McDavid:

 

[Hiesenberg]

Oilers were gifted McDavid to a roster that already had Hall/RNH.

It's truly unbelievable how bad Chiarelli was at his job. It's almost like he purposely made bad moves.

 

[tictactoe]

Well prayers were answered and we scored 2pp goals in game against Boston. Let's hope for Myers to arrive soon and the end of MacDonald.

During the radio feed, Steve Coates said that Brandon Carlo was chosen with an original pick the Flyers owned and that Boston received it through a trade with the Islanders. He then said "I can't think of any trade the Flyers have made with the Islanders, can you Tim (Saunders)?" Sometimes it is Occam's razor and sometimes it is the elephant in the room.

 

[pit]

So wait, if we win this, are we like a...a...

*whispers*

.500 team?

yeah well I do not believe that story... I do believe that we traded up to get Kevin Marshall 41st (if I am not mistaken) and PK Subban was drafted 43..

 

[bennysflyers16]

Does Stolie get the call ? 1.5 days rest for HArt, and I think Stolie has earned it ?

I prefer Hart, but ok either way

 

[Jtown]

got to ride hart these next 5 games.

 

[flyersjim73]

As a season ticket holder, this is the first time in a while I’ve been generally excited to go to a game.

Keep this run going boys!

 

[Rebels57]

Id go Stolie here with the short rest for Hart.

 

[BiggE]

Carter Hart, NHL rookie of the month for January and our savior. For it was written, a goalie, barely old enough to shave, shall lead them out of the darkness and bring them into the light. Sing his praises my brothers and sisters for he has come. And his name is Carter Hart. Amen

 

[BiggE]

Can't wait for the Manning tribute video.

Next time my dog takes a dump, I’ll make sure to film it and email a copy to the Flyers

 

[BiggE]

Lucic - McDavid - Rattie

..as our top line. You guys are going to run over us.

It’s amazing that McDavid hasn’t had a nervous breakdown.

 

[tictactoe]

Manning... he better not score on us like every other scrub that used to play for us.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Koskinen really wears #19 ?

Religious are we? Quoting Gospel of John......Darkness and Light. Evil and Good.
