FROM THE PAST

[CapnZin]

That last game wreaked of Hakstonian hockey... hopefully this game doesn’t.

Wooo Sanheim and Myers. It’s fun to watch the flyers again even though last game ended poorly.

f*** Dzingle and hopefully Patrick is fine after that... he did return though.

 

[klutch]

Their lineup is abysmal.

Patrick was trying to draw the penalty. He spends half the game on the ice.

 

[TheKingPin]

Win and we may be 4 pts back

 

[baudib1]

Beat these clowns.

I will never get tired of crushing this joke of a franchise. I've probably hated the Devils more tha any other team. It's ironic because the only NHL player I'd say I'm friendly with is Ken Daneyko.

 

[dats81]

Have to beat then, no excuses

 

[AdamParrot]

Myers will be HS. AMac in.

You will see.

 

[DaphneLion]

Must win game if we're trying to miss the playoffs by 4 points instead of 6

 

[bennysflyers16]

This lineup for Devils is Senators bad, I want an easy 4 or 5 goal win.

 

[dragonoffrost]

This is going to be a fun thread when AMac and Hagg are in and it's only 6 D

 

[magnumpi]

So Myers will be a healthy scratch, no doubt.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Plz win

 

[Rebels57]

Trap game.

 

[FlyersMania2]

During the Hakstol experiment I lost interest in hockey - as many of you did. For the better portion of my adult hood, I have tried to watch as many games as possible but under Hak I didn't care to. If I did watch, I never finished watching the game. I've enjoyed watching us recently but I hate when we play the devils. It's boring.

The only thing worse than watching us play the Devils is watching AMac play - I imagine we will have that combo this evening.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Time to make history with 8 goalies in one season.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Beat these clowns.

Joke of a franchise??????? Have you been watching in the 21st century? The team has been relatively good in an extremely saturated market. They also play in one of the nicest buildings in the NHL.

 

[Danko]

Cam Talbot may or may not be making an appearance tonight, this is not a drill.

 

[landsbergfan]

Dear Fletch,

Steer clear of Guy Boucher

Kind regards,
My eyes

 

[TB87]

Myers will be HS. AMac in.

You will see.

You know this how?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

You know this how?

The Flyers lost, it happened because of lack of veteran leadership.

 

[Danko]

The Flyers lost, it happened because of lack of veteran leadership.

the team was far to light and not heavy enough.

 

[DancingPanther]

It all comes down to this

 

[JojoTheWhale]

That may be the worst NHL line I can remember.

 

[Striiker]

Big loss here.
