Some tweaked lines appeared at practice Weds morning, but that doesn't usually mean anything. I have no idea which goalie is actually starting for EDM at this point.

[BiggE]

Wouldn’t have minded seeing this guy, but we’re out of town

But at least I’ll be spared looking at the grotesque visages of Hayes and Tippett.

@Striiker

Ghost?! LMAO.

 

[Striiker]

@Striiker

1) where the hell are guys like Rinaldo and Mayhew?

2) did a blind man draw their faces? And did he hate Timonen, Couturier, and Giroux?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Hopefully Mc-E-Deez-Nutz runs all over this team.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Hopefully Mc-E-Deez-Nutz runs all over this team.

I’m expecting no less than a five point game from him.

 

[Curufinwe]

Chasing dat McDavid vs DeAngelo matchup.

 

[Danko]

Where's Brandon Manning when you need him, hi @boxcar65

 

[Beef Invictus]

Flyers are firmly back in that "Hart Steals Games" mode.

 

[Magua]

The only game of the year @DancingPanther will watch! But remember, when McDavid has 12 points: this is the regular season. He’s not just going to fill the net during the playoffs and outscore teams.

I will catch the first period or so bc I'm working. Good thing too, I can't subject myself to this stupid f***ing organization and these stupid f***ing players for more than that per season.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Flyers win though, since they play the right way. The grind it out, work hard, and play tough. That's McDavid's cryptonite. I mean just look at the playoffs where all these cup contenders pivot from speed and skill to north south, hustle hockey! All that physicality has held McDavid to only 55 points off 21 goals in 37 playoff games

 

[deadhead]

Edmonton is 16-21 in those 37 PO games. Finally got to the CF last year.
It's not like McDavid doesn't have help:

RNH #1-2011
Draitaisl #3-2014
Puljujarvi #4-2016
Holloway #14-2020

Nurse #7-2013
Bouchard D #10-2018
Broberg D #8-2019

and they added Barrie, Ceci, Hyman, Foegele, Janmark and Kane.
How a team with McDavid and 6 top ten picks isn't a dominating force . . . I mean freakin' Seattle is one point ahead of them.

Is this for real?

I thought one of the attributes of great players is they make their teammates better.
Given all that raw talent . . .
Or maybe tanking isn't such a guarantee of success.

 

[Magua]

He unironically said players with 6, 9, 10, and 18 points are McDavid's "help."

McDavid's help, besides Draisaitl, boils down to: do you get carried by McDavid at ES and do you get carried on the league best PP by McDavid? Hyman is on a 100 point pace, and he's talking about McDavid not making his teammates better. It's so unapologetically wrong and unabashedly contrarian that *vocal fry* I can't even.

Are you being serious?

He DOES elevate his teammates. When he's on the ice. But this isn't the NBA. He's only on the ice for a third of the game. What's he supposed to do on the bench for the 2/3 of the game that he doesn't impact?

Not only am I now sure he hasn't watched McDavid in years, I don't think he's even dug deeper than the most basic team stats summary.

I bet what this comes down to is that Tortorella scoffs at McDavid, and therefore he must too.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Sittler’s record could be in jeopardy tonight!

 

[Rich Nixon]

can't wait to watch some bad players try too hard and some decent players not try at all

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Happy National Pizza Day.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

Iam a bit drunken. i hating my life today.

The best situation to start and watch a flyers game the first time for weeks!

We all will have FUN

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

 

[Ironmanrulez]

This will be a funny game! i say 8:3 Oilers!

I just want to testify that I will be watching the game..........



Hard to believe this is 55 years old. How old is George Clinton.......?

I just hope the Flyers can rock the planet tonight.........



One of the first songs which was 1/2 funk and 1/2 hip-hop/ rap; beginning of break dancing.......
