[Striiker]

At least I wasn’t included in this one.

 

[orangecrush8]

I will never stop laughing at Hak as Angus Young.

The thunder-hak’d gif if HOF worthy.

 

[Flyerfan13]

At least I wasn’t included in this one.

Careful u may be the grand finale

 

[kudymen]

I love that every GDT ends with Hak doing water sports.

Came here to post this. Perfect one today (again)


Also, thunderhak'd

 

[kudymen]

We are so lucky to have @MiamiScreamingEagles and @Captain Dave Poulin taking care of the GDTs

 

[RANKKA]

i expect vezina Bob and nothing else

 

[BernieParent]

At least I wasn’t included in this one.

My turn for the GDT on Saturday.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

i expect vezina Bob and nothing else

After his last game, I can see him bouncing back to this.

 

[Striiker]

My turn for the GDT on Saturday.

 

[JXC]

This is a big one

 

[hatcher]

This is a big one

If CLB brought the A game we dont stand a chance so why arent we blowing it up. I wish I could have worked for the flyers now as its a country club joke. LOL

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

If you worked for the Flyers we’d look like Edmonton minus McDavid

 

[FlyersMania2]

I thought I read that Alex Lyon had been loaned to the Phantoms: Flyers Loan Goaltender Alex Lyon to Phantoms - Lehigh Valley Phantoms

 

[tictactoe]

You never know.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I thought I read that Alex Lyon had been loaned to the Phantoms: Flyers Loan Goaltender Alex Lyon to Phantoms - Lehigh Valley Phantoms

I took him off the OP

 

[FlyersMania2]

I took him off the OP

I am also mentioning it bc why can't we call him up? lolol

 

[wuf]

I like the Weal-Vorobyev-Simmer line. Really wish we had a young, speedy center to throw in between Raffl and Laughton. That wouldn't even look like a 4th line honestly.
I'm not sure who's worse at this point, MacDonald or Folin.

 

[macleish1974]

Not having fun, 3rd class passengers or a Flyers fan

Relaxing, a champion, and always having fun at 14 years. He is older than Striiker for sure and probably wiser......;-)))
