[dats81]

Dallas could be the right opponent at the right time or this turns really really ugly and they go on a long loosing streak.

 

[Alex K]

 

[Domino666]

Incoming loss, coaches fault blah, blah, Stewarts fault blah, blah, no hope going forward, hockey dinosaurs, no future, just Zuul

 

[TheKingPin]

Dallas has played the most games in the league and only has 3 pts. This is a get right game for them. We need roster changes. I think AV will do it.

 

[DaphneLion]

They better win this. Dallas is a shitshow and will be on the tail end of a back to back.

 

[dragonoffrost]

This is a good time for them to get Dallas. Got embarassed on national tv while out chancing the opponent. Come back the next game with a bad team. At least it should break the tendency to play to the level of the competition.

 

[dragonoffrost]

AV will make the wrong changes as you know. Dinosaur gonna dinosaur. Welcome back to the lineup Stewie! Hagg meet your new partner Ivan. Ghost you get Braun and 10 minutes ice time at ES.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I hate this stupid team

That stupid defense
That stupid offense
That stupid goalies
That stupid tie.
That stupid coach
That stupid gm
That stupid owner
That stupid president

Why can't we have an elite team just once, I'd like to see a team that passes like the 90s red wings.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Dallas has a few studs, but not great forward depth & some of their top players are getting old.

Montgomery is a very good coach, though, & Bishop is always capable of stoning you.

Game could go either way. It’ll probably come down to goaltending.

 

[Rebels57]

1-6-1 team coming into Philly desperate for a win?

We've all seen this one before. I'd be SHOCKED if we take 2 points in this one.

Jep. Sounds like the typical leave defense at home, play stupid, high scoring f***fest game.

 

[KrazyKat]

I think Patrick returning would help a lot. And I’d move Lindblom up top.


Giroux—Couturier—Lindblom
JVR—Hayes—Voracek
Farabee—Patrick—Konecny
Raffl—Laughton—Twarynski/Pitlick

Giroux—Couturier—Lindblom
JVR—Hayes—Voracek
Farabee—Patrick—Konecny

Patrick coming back (or replaced with other capable 3C) is the only way this team makes the playoffs.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Patrick coming back (or replaced with other capable 3C) is the only way this team makes the playoffs.

Yup, he is the biggest issue right now with the lineup.

Oskar Nolan Farabee/Anyone could be a massive difference

 

[Illini Flyer]

Great picture on the intro post, you can see the Flyer's logo on the puck. That photographer deserves a pat on the back

 

[Rebels57]

82 points in 82 games last season.

5 points in 5 games this season.

We are easily the most consistent team in the league. Just not the way we'd like them to be.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I can't stand playing against this team, because it makes me look at Jamie Benn's pubeface. **** off back to 1991, you puke.

 

[Amorgus]

I'll be missing this one but if they can't beat the tire fire that is the Stars this season, they may as well just tank the rest of the season so I can quit following hockey again.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[Alex K]

Cmon, he can't listen to such bands

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Cmon, he can't listen to such bands

There is no question whatsoever that THAT band is right down his alley. Stone cold, mortal lock, ironclad guarantee.

 

[Alex K]

There is no question whatsoever that THAT band is right down his alley. Stone cold, mortal lock, ironclad guarantee.

What if there's endless peace and bliss behind his cold eyes?

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Please win

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Definitely one where the Flyers should win. Hopefully Hart comes back and does well.
