[SolidSnakeUS]

Time to get killed by the Jackets.

 

[TheKingPin]

Interesting stat. Flyers are 4-13-3 in their last 20 road games...so many things to fox with this team.

 

[WIP CALLER]

after essentially ending their season with the back to back regulation losses I bet they come out strong tonight and take this one. wouldn't surprise me at all if we won tonight and against Pittsburgh to get everyone's hopes up again...

 

[905PENS]

*looks around and makea sure no penguins fans are watching*. GO FLYERS. Hopefully dubz does not cross check anyones head on you guys. They get away with murder. Send Gudas to teach him a lesson.
:-P

 

[Hiesenberg]

Gagner is scoring a hat trick.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

I hope not but think they roll over for this one and get absolutely smoked. Which is probably for the best anyway.

 

[dats81]

They are almost out of the playoff picture which means that they will start a meaningless winning streak soon.

 

[Striiker]

Maybe he got jumped in the locker room after the game?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Maybe he got jumped in the locker room after the game?

its his arm... he hurt it landing on the ice in his fight when he got popped in the face repeatedly.

when he manages to get up you see him clutch his arm.

 

[Striiker]

And yet he plays the rest of the game and is out for the last seconds when tied.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

And yet he plays the rest of the game and is out for the last seconds when tied.

no different then when VdV got boarded and both his eyes were so black n blue the next game yet the coach still played him anyways..

 

[Danko]

Upper Body Injury, lack of brain?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Upper Body Injury, lack of brain?

Permanently concussed.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Foligno is a game time decision. He's sick.

 

[boxcar65]

Crap, no Manning tonight. I'm sure all of you are happy. I fully expect the D to play incredibly well and allow 10 shots and zero goals. After all, #23 is the main culprit whenever they don't play well

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Just make crisp 5 foot passes. Don't pinch 1000 times. Don't lose your assignment constantly.
That's how to not be worse than Manning.

 

[Danko]

Crap, no Manning tonight. I'm sure all of you are happy. I fully expect the D to play incredibly well and allow 10 shots and zero goals. After all, #23 is the main culprit whenever they don't play well

Did you see the end of last game? He cost us a point, making him a good culprit.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

After all, #23 is the main culprit whenever they don't play well

oh you mean like last game ??

 

[bennysflyers16]

Typical Flyer fashion....

Your Schlage Lock of the Week is a win tonight,, bet on it

 

[Tripod]

Crap, no Manning tonight. I'm sure all of you are happy. I fully expect the D to play incredibly well and allow 10 shots and zero goals. After all, #23 is the main culprit whenever they don't play well

You don't get it. He is a #6/7 Dman. If he PLAYED like that, he is passable. Instead, he thinks he is a top 4 Dman and takes chances, pinches at bad times, etc... which means that someone like Ghost IS NOT doing that. So now he has neutered Ghost offensively AND put him in a bad spot defensively.

WHOEVER is Ghosts partner, should worry about defense 1st. Manning just isn't good at either.

 

[Rebels57]

*looks around and makea sure no penguins fans are watching*. GO FLYERS. Hopefully dubz does not cross check anyones head on you guys. They get away with murder. Send Gudas to teach him a lesson.
:-P

He won't try a thing with Simmonds on the ice. That's for sure.

There isn't a bigger "fake tough guy" in the league than Brandon Dubinsky.

 

[Rebels57]

Crap, no Manning tonight. I'm sure all of you are happy. I fully expect the D to play incredibly well and allow 10 shots and zero goals. After all, #23 is the main culprit whenever they don't play well

You should learn to pick your battles when it comes to Meatshield.

 

[Rebels57]

You don't get it. He is a #6/7 Dman. If he PLAYED like that, he is passable. Instead, he thinks he is a top 4 Dman and takes chances, pinches at bad times, etc... which means that someone like Ghost IS NOT doing that. So now he has neutered Ghost offensively AND put him in a bad spot defensively.

WHOEVER is Ghosts partner, should worry about defense 1st. Manning just isn't good at either.

Yet he has played the majority of the season with two morons (Manning and Streit) that decided not to let Ghost do his thing so they themselves can run around like Paul Coffey wannabees.

Strap him next to Gudas or Morin next season for christ sakes.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

any hints whos in the pipes tonite ?
