GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Kid Gloves" by Rush

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

save some goals for the Wpg game

 

[DayoftheGreek]

Go Flyers! Go Rush!

 

[RoDu]

gotta feeling Orr will do something dumb

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Win this *****! Would love to see Luke get a goal.

 

[laundryman]

Gonna be a doozy. Maple Leafs are a lot better than I expected this year.

 

[BigWilly]

I have this sick feeling that Luke is going to have a monster game

 

[F L Y E R S]

Release the kraken!!

 

[flyersfan018]

Someone on the Leafs board said the Reimer is better than Bryzgalov. I got a good laugh.

 

[MsMeow]

I'm going in my dazzling new to me Clarke signed orange jersey. They'd better win!

 

[GKJ]

I have this sick feeling that Luke is going to have a monster game

Well, we did have Kris Versteeg score twice against you after trading for him

 

[MSSLYNX]

Beware of Count Grabovsky!
Hope for a Leafs letdown after yesterday's trouncing of the poor Habs.
God our schedule is so awful still.

 

[dingbathero]

Someone on the Leafs board said the Reimer is better than Bryzgalov. I got a good laugh.

Can't wait to have them come down off their high from beating the HABS bad by having Reimer hauled from the game.

12 shots on net, 3 goals.

Crush the laffs.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Someone on the Leafs board said the Reimer is better than Bryzgalov. I got a good laugh.

There's some funny stuff in their game thread for tomorrow. I don't think many of them watched a Flyers game this year.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Someone on the Leafs board said the Reimer is better than Bryzgalov. I got a good laugh.

They also believe JVR will get a hat trick going by Luke and Kadri destroying Brayden. Seriously, these guys have some real anger issues. Funny how some of them hate Luke so ****ing much and take the Kadri vs. Schenn thread way too seriously.

But yes, that is hilarious.

 

[Broad st phantom]

JVR could have a big game, but I think both of the Schenns will be beasting it tomorrow.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Reimer sucks. His glove might be the worst in the NHL. Serious.

Kessel will get neutralized by the physical defense. Dude disappears when the going gets tough.

JvR will be invisible like usual.

Phaneuf (aka Captain Derp) will be a pylon like usual.

Cliffs: Leafs will be the Leafs.

 

[Alchemy]

The flyboys need to start getting on a roll here. Need to climb the standings. It's going to be a tight race until the end.

 

[Flyersfan139]

I liked JVR but the trade seems like it was well worth it for us and it seems like Leafs fans are pretty happy with JVR too.

Hopefully Flyers can get another W here!

 

[Alchemy]

They also believe JVR will get a hat trick going by Luke and Kadri destroying Brayden. Seriously, these guys have some real anger issues. Funny how some of them hate Luke so ****ing much and take the Kadri vs. Schenn thread way too seriously.

But yes, that is hilarious.

Yeah it seems like they truly hate Luke. I hope he sticks it to them tomorrow. They overhype everything. No matter if its how good or bad a player is. They take it to the extreme.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i predict a epic fight.

not sure who vs. who buti really believe theres gunna be a epic throwdown.

 

[LeafOfBread]

They also believe JVR will get a hat trick going by Luke and Kadri destroying Brayden. Seriously, these guys have some real anger issues. Funny how some of them hate Luke so ****ing much and take the Kadri vs. Schenn thread way too seriously.

But yes, that is hilarious.

Dude, you don't need to spread lies, seriously. Most of us were big Schenn fans and were sad to see him go. He was a great player who gave it his all when he was here, unfortunately that ****ing idiot Ron Wilson ruined him here. I actually hope the best for the guy in Philly because he was as genuine as they came.

Good luck to you guys, here's hoping for a good game.

Yeah it seems like they truly hate Luke. I hope he sticks it to them tomorrow. They overhype everything. No matter if its how good or bad a player his. They take it to the extreme.

No we don't. Who the hell keeps coming up with this crap? There's a few idiots who talked bad about Schenn but for the most part he was a fan favourite. Anybody talking trash now is just doing a little ribbing because he's an opponent now.

LOL it's going to get interesting on here!!

 

[TheLegendkiller]

Alot of their fans said they hope Luke has a good game, but that JVR still dekes him. But yeah they hate Brayden though, I still say Brayden whoops Kadri's ass though.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Reimer sucks. His glove might be the worst in the NHL. Serious.

Kessel will get neutralized by the physical defense. Dude disappears when the going gets tough.

JVR has been great for us
