[Tripod]

I dress Morin just in case.

 

[CapnZin]

I dress Morin just in case.

And Goulbourne

 

[DancingPanther]

Would love to see them eat the Isle's lunch again and continue the downward spiral. This team is a poser and it's funny to see them get all desperate as they realize they're falling to earth in flames like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

 

[Domino666]

I hope after Jake feeds Boychuk fist sammies, the Flyers hang 6 on the Isles just cause

 

[Striiker]

#VoracekDidNothingWrong

Hope he scores a bunch and makes an identical “hit”.

 

[dragonoffrost]

1.6% chance of making the playoffs boys!

MIMSY going to Mimsy.

Enjoy the popcorn Samuel

The time has come where I have to explain to my kid that there are no actual dinosaurs now because they were all brutally murdered by science. Wish me luck

Yup, can’t sit the hockey playing brilliance that is Robert Hagg

[CapnZin]

But he’s physical. You know? In a game like this... physicality matters!

 

[BiggE]

But he’s physical. You know? In a game like this... physicality matters!

I’m sure the Isles are terrified

 

[dragonoffrost]

I’m sure the Isles are terrified

Jake is going to have to fight their whole roster alone as they'll take turns challenging him

 

[CapnZin]

I’m sure the Isles are terrified

I’m pretty sure Hagg is just a younger Kevin Bacon. The resemblance is uncanny.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The time has come where I have to explain to my kid that there are no actual dinosaurs now because they were all brutally murdered by science. Wish me luck

Make sure you have an answer for him when he says "OK, dad, but what about Brian Burke?"

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I don't care who wins, I just want to see a full on brawl.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I’m pretty sure Hagg is just a younger Kevin Bacon. The resemblance is uncanny.

I just hope that both teams have fun.

Has Jake ever been in a fight?

 

[dragonoffrost]

Has Jake ever been in a fight?

Quite a few

Jakub Voracek

The Scuderi one stuck in my mind as Jake seemed to just lose his mind.

 

[Oskar Man]

Boychuk is a butt plug. I wouldn't think any different of Jake if he chooses to not engage.

 

[Rich Nixon]

I just hope that both teams have fun.

Yeah, that's the important thing here that people seem to be missing.

I haven’t been able to have a drink for a month per doctor’s orders. That ends tomorrow.

I apologize in advance to anyone I see at the game/xfinity/chickies/sugar house/the greater Philadelphia area.

I'll probably have my drinks before hand. got a couple crowlers I need to crack open.
