FROM THE PAST

​

GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC
"Mandatory Suicide" by Slayer

​

Click to read more...

 

[Embiid]

I just forgot about this game....

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I wish I were going to this one. JK, **** that for a bag of chips.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Please keep losing!

 

[Tripod]

What D gets benched? Hmmm.

 

[TheKingPin]

I want Hagg out as much as anyone but all of these players stink. I know it’s a certain situation and they are only human. I know that have had some horrible coaching. But these fools have lost games in chunks over the years. They need an entire change. A new look all around. To me that means new big names and leaders in coaching, D and fwd.

Q, trouba, and Panarin

 

[flyersfan187]

Q, Trouba and Panarin would be great but seems impossible. Q yes, Trouba maybe, Panarin doubtful.

 

[freakydallas13]

Interesting song choice.

Just let this season be over already.

 

[Striiker]

What D gets benched? Hmmm.

Clearly it's not possible for it to be Hagg or Provorov, based on last games performances and icetimes.

 

[Magua]

This season right now.....

 

[freakydallas13]

At this point I would honestly bench both Provorov and Hagg. Put farmer in there, or better yet, call up Friedman for a few games.

My bet is neither of them will sit though. Because this coaching staff is a joke.

 

[DancingPanther]

My chest is tightening just thinking about this game's implications.

With these 2 points will come famine....disease...fire...even solar flares. A win will cast the Earth into a shadow. A win will switch the magnetic poles. A win will even cause the Earth to stop spinning, frying one side and freezing the other. A win turns this beautiful globe into a inhospitable, desolate hellhole of piss, sh:t, and corruption (like this organization tbh)

This cannot be a win. Unleash the demons! Hagg! AMac! Neurvith! Weise! Whatever it takes man! THERE ARE PING PONG BALLS AT STAKE

 

[DancingPanther]

Also, did someone say 'coffin' in that game day post??

 

[TheKingPin]

Q, Trouba and Panarin would be great but seems impossible. Q yes, Trouba maybe, Panarin doubtful.

We shall see. I would think Florida May be the next team to have relocation come up. Not sure Panarin would sign there for 7 years just to move to Canada. Outside of the pluses for Florida philly may be the best option.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Can't even remember the last time I watched a full game, lol

 

[Rodu58]

anything other than them skating off the ice with their tail between their legs would be shocking

 

[Branko]

Forfeit this game and save the airfare.

 

[dragonoffrost]

At this point I would honestly bench both Provorov and Hagg. Put farmer in there, or better yet, call up Friedman for a few games.

My bet is neither of them will sit though. Because this coaching staff is a joke.

Do you want Friedman or NAK we can only choose one!

 

[dragonoffrost]

Berube is a bad coach?

He and Billington have changed the Blues fortunes. Good thing is that means one less spot for Q.

 

[Mkoll]

This cannot be a win. Unleash the demons! Hagg! AMac! Neurvith! Weise! Whatever it takes man! THERE ARE PING PONG BALLS AT STAKE

cone on, at least pretend like you pay attention more than at a periphery level.

doesn't Weise play for Montreal?

 

[landsbergfan]

You really would've impressed me much if you hit em with the "Whatever it takes, dude"

 

[Curufinwe]

Time to rest Provy, Sanheim, Couturier and Giroux. Call up NAK.

Hagg could be a healthy scratch

 

[dragonoffrost]

Hagg could be a healthy scratch

The wheel of scratches chooses 6 or 61 tonight.

 

[BiggE]

Clearly it's not possible for it to be Hagg or Provorov, based on last games performances and icetimes.

Mimsy will probably scratch Myers or Ghost. f***ing tool.
