Crush Byfuglien, score a lot of goals, start Neuvirth, don't win.

Thank you.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Benny gonna get druuuuunnnkkkk.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Benny gonna get druuuuunnnkkkk.

That's a slam dunk ironclad mortal lock

It's entirely possible that we get killed in this game - they have some flat-out dangerous players. I really like that organization, so I'm not going to hold it against them if they help us tank.

 

[dats81]

Back on the road where they suck all year, against a team that loves to score ... guaranteed win

 

[boxcar65]

Hopefully Manning is back in the lineup. We need his grit and warrior-like attitude.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

You're awesome in what you are doing

Keep it up !!!

 

[bennysflyers16]

Benny gonna get druuuuunnnkkkk.

I even booked Wednesday off !!!

Always a fun game, cause short of the Habs/Leafs games, Flyers travel the best to Wpg with all the old school Manitoba ties !!

Always like the song for Jets MSE, if you listen closely they play Aces High at the MTS Center all the time.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Great GDT song! I would love to see a game at the MTS centre.

Undisciplined team vs our bad PP. should be fun

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Oh boy... an away game...

I feel like adding a song on how I feel about this season.

 

[FLYguy3911]

The Jets had to call up Nelson Nogier for this one. Yikes.

Their D tomm could be one of the worst we have seen in a long time.

so ur saying brace for Vezina backup ?

 

[bennysflyers16]

so ur saying brace for Vezina backup ?

Lol,,, I bet Hutch does get the start too, his first in like a month.

Could be one of those rare games with two left handed goalies !!!

There are options but this stands atop. Will you be wearing a Hawerchuk jersey?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Never, I was never a Jets fan growing up. I do have a sweet 80s Ducky jersey tho I got at a golf tourney.

Going orange Flyers or Flin Flon Bomber jersey. You guys will see a few Clarke Bomber jerseys in the stands tho.

Nice on the latter. As far as the former, I meant a Hawerchuk jersey when he played for the Flyers.

Lol, silly me. Not a ducky Flyers jersey. I'm pretty picky in my Flyer jerseys I buy, that would,never of made the cut lol. All I own are 2 Clarke, Lindros and a Propp.

Clarke once wore 36 in a game at Winnipeg because his usual jersey was stolen in the locker room at the old Winnipeg Arena.

And the fans did save Chris Pronger's life, after all.

 

[OzFlyers]

They were talking about the following the Flyers have throughout Canada on Toronto radio a few weeks ago and Ray Ferraro's explanation was that the Flyers were like the 9th original team.

No, chickened out. Sitting in the work fancy seats so don't want to be too obnoxious
