[Captain Dave Poulin]

Thank f***.

 

[deadhead]

There's only one song for this game:

 

[Cody Webster]

Ding dong the seasons done

 

[CSKA1974]

There's only one song for this game:

Not a song, but very fitting:

 

[iceman42]

So after we win this one and Devils lose its next two we'll get vaulted to the 5th spot, then lose the draft lottery and get the 7th spot. They will draft Scott Laughton Jr.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

I actually have tickets to the game. I have no idea what to expect.

 

[SuchySays]

Can't wait for this one

 

[CSKA1974]

Lame team award presentation?

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Lame team award presentation?

At this point, can we just forgo the awards? It's not like anyone had an actual good season

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Play to lose!

Seriously, I hope all of the coaching staff, Chuck, Homer and Clarke are gone. Starting over fresh.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Go sens

 

[Larry44]

So after we win this one and Devils lose its next two we'll get vaulted to the 5th spot, then lose the draft lottery and get the 7th spot. They will draft Scott Laughton Jr.

EDIT: had this wrong the first time. Flyers have one more RW win than NJ, so if they beat Ottawa, NJ wins the tiebreaker. Flyers need to lose vs. Ottawa (in regulation or OT) to secure 29th.

If the Flyers lose and the Kraken get 4 pts in their last 2 games, they would also pass us. If they get 3 pts, win one and lose the other in OT, both teams would be tied with 61 pts, but Seattle has more RWs 22, than the Flyers have, 20, already.

[Danko]

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I don't expect much, but to put it into perspective, the Flyers scored less goals this season than the 06-07 season. Let that sink in. In a season where offense exploded like a mother f***er, the Flyers couldn't outscore the 06-07 team.

I believe you mean Jimmy "Minnesota native AND son of a former Flyer" Snuggerud

 

[iceman42]

No, we can't pass the Devils. They have too many wins so they get the tiebreaker. It's 4th last (29th) secured.

Still, worth losing just in case, because if the Flyers lose and the Kraken get 3 pts in their last 2 games, they would also pass us on the tiebreaker, giving us 30th or 3rd last.

Stop foiling my reverse jinx. Also, the Kraken will never get 3 points in their last 2 games.

Once a flyer, always a flyer and your bloodline also.

 

[Larry44]

Stop foiling my reverse jinx. Also, the Kraken will never get 3 points in their last 2 games.

I also had it wrong. I used total wins not RW wins. Flyers have one more than NJ already, so the Flyers HAVE to lose to Ottawa in regulation or OT to finish below the Devils.

Thank f***ing Christ

I CANNOT go 5 months without Flyers hockey

Participation trophies for all, including any fans who show up.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

I told my girlfriend that they might be giving shit away tomorrow since it's so been such a lousy season and no one is showing up for the games.
