Hopefully we shell the **** out of the Leafs. **** them.

Im with ya brotha, can't stand the Leafs but I can see another loss in store. I'm pretty excited to see what Hexy has up his sleeve soon.

Jaraco · Feb 20, 2016

Can we just fast forward to the trade deadline?

BackToTheBrierePatch · Feb 20, 2016

a loss in any fashion is unacceptable.

tade · Feb 20, 2016

Look at their line-up and now without Komarov, too. :laugh:

That's insanely bad.

Juicy Pop · Feb 20, 2016

Please don't play like an AHL club just because we're playing the Marlies.

hatcher · Feb 20, 2016

Toronto will work hard like last time they played us so the better be ready. We know already half the game will be played with no effort. Bring on the deadline.

FLYERSG · Feb 20, 2016

Ill be there. Hopefully G is fine. Last year I went to the 7-4 game and watched G and Jake skate circles around them. Lets hope for the same this year.

Dabest · Feb 20, 2016

For some reason, feeling a loss tonight... At least we'll be closer to Dubois

you'll get the W at least I hope so. We had a so so team before all the injuries and suspensions but I mean we're missing jVR, Komarov, Lupul, Bozak and the list goes on...we'll work hard and all that good stuff but at some point talent trumps our roster. Get the win, help us get closer to Matthews and Leaf Nation will be happy

MiamiScreamingEagles · Feb 20, 2016

Update from today's skate:

With Komarov suspended, Peter Holland taking his spot alongside Kadri on Leafs top line

Shawn Matthias (whiplash) may be ready to return... skating with Spaling-Winnik this morning

Josh Leivo (upper body) also may be ready to return to Leafs lineup

We want to get closer to Dubois

We're missing Couturier and MDZ as well, help us get closer to Dubois or nylander

Oranges · Feb 20, 2016

I'm going to this game tonight. Can't wait!

Domino666 · Feb 20, 2016

Hell even the Marlies could whoop the Flyers in a shootout

orangecrush8 · Feb 20, 2016

Absolutely zero reason not to win this game handidly.

But if they don't you can blame me. I'll be there tonight and I'm 0-3 on the year with the team scoring a whopping 3 goals total.

mize370 · Feb 20, 2016

Will be at the game tonight sporting a new jersey my son got for my birthday!! GO FLYERS Looking forward to seeing the ghost in action

Tavares2Hall · Feb 20, 2016

Even though it isn't confirmed, is Mason definitely starting?

Curufinwe · Feb 20, 2016

I hope they stick with Laughton on the LW.

flyersfan187 · Feb 20, 2016

Voracek needs to get his game back and it has to start soon. He hasn't been living up to his new deal this season.

Definitely will be looking to see what happens with #21 tonight.

I'd bet on G to have a couple of points tonight after his penalty disaster last night.

That's the problem. In the last week alone the Canucks and Rangers played two of the worst games I have seen all season. They could not string two passes together to save their lives, and if not for Raanta and Miller the scores would have been lopsided (or even more lopsided against the Canucks). The Leafs suck, but they play hard for Babcock which is enough to pull out the odd win when the opponent does not come to play.

Will be in attendance as well, taking my dad this year

Look for the guy celebrating points from G, Ghost and Simmer tonight! Will wear the old orange Leclair Jersey, sitting beside his dad in a blue leafs Jersey, sec 101, in the corner 14 rows behind glass.

I too was at that last matchup, it was crazy to say the least.

Skinnyjimmy08 · Feb 20, 2016

All I care about is the ghost streak...

Gonna be so annoying if it's the joke team of the NHL that ends the streak haha

I'm thinking a multi point game though

King Forsberg · Feb 20, 2016

Giroux is out tonight
