"Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy) " by Rob Zombie

Flyerfan4life · Feb 15, 2013

well, what to say..

plz just find a way to win...

or keep a lead, that would make a refreshing change

SolidSnakeUS · Feb 16, 2013

Time to lose again. We probably won't have Timonen. We'll have a D that might be worse than the Avs.

Prongo · Feb 16, 2013

The good thing is we are still only two points out of a playoff spot in the early season. Now bad things are we are 3 points out of worst team in the league(pending the results of Kings/BJ's) also have played the most game after this one at 16. We also probably won't have Kimmo. Starting to become a little worried with the team now, might be one of those years.

Seth JONES!

I'm honestly torn between my desire to see my team win and my desire for Seth jones...

OzFlyers · Feb 16, 2013

Bryz is guaranteed a Shutout tomorrow. I swapped him for Carey on one of my fantasy teams!

dats81 · Feb 16, 2013

Somehow this team is lacking the passion and determination that made the difference for long stretches last year when they would simply stick to the game plan and force their will on the opposition to turn things around, no matter they were trailing by 1, 2 or even 3 goals early in the game.

I'm almost at a point where I don't even care anymore as soon as things start getting ugly and that is because the players themselves don't seem to care

I don't know what to expect from this game...may go one way or the other.

buff · Feb 16, 2013

I'll be there ! Go Flyers !

RJ8812* · Feb 16, 2013

Is there a worse team in the league than us when it comes to...

1) starting a period?
2) playing a full 60 minutes?

I've never seen a team give up so many early period goals. How many were there last night? Two goals within the first minute of the 1st and 2nd period?

The full game effort is a huge concern too and a trend that's been the norm for awhile now. We completely dominated NJ in the 1st period and then didn't even show up in the 2nd or 3rd

Dr Gonzo · Feb 16, 2013

Habs fan, coming in peace.

Budaj is getting the start tonight. Price is out with the flu.

That means muchos easier goals for you guys tonight. Take it easy on ole Peter, will ya?

Remember last year also when it seemed like Bryz would allow a goal on the first shot of the game almost regularly? It's crazy how this team always gets off to poor starts.

actually that may be lucky for you guys as back-ups, for some reason, tend to have career games against us

I'm ok with sucking for another 30 games to get Jones. unfortunately the flyers won't be the suckiest team so we won't get jones. that is what bothers me

if the flyers are really bad and end up with a top 5 pick i think homer needs to trade up to get jones. obviously there are plenty of quality players available but not one that fills a need quite like jones does.

even if they were the worst team in the league, with out luck some other team would win the lottery and pick 1st

GKJ · Feb 16, 2013

Sounds like Carey Price has the flu. Canadiens called up another goaltender.

MiamiScreamingEagles · Feb 16, 2013

^ MTL's reserve netminder is Robert Mayer http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=90938

--------------------------

The scheduled Flyers' morning skate has been canceled.

--------------------------

No word yet on the Flyers' goalie for tonight. It is possible Boucher could start considering Monday's game (holiday) is in the afternoon.

swflyers93 · Feb 16, 2013

We shouldn't lose to this team but we probably will. :cry:

Karma · Feb 16, 2013

Their backup is starting? We're getting shutout.

FLYERSFAN18 · Feb 16, 2013

Couturier on the 4th line and Briere playing with knunle and fedotenko is just rediculous. Is there are reason for this that I missed? Just move Couts up with Briere and knuble

BrimFullofAsham45 · Feb 16, 2013

I don't think I will be able to stomach to watch this one is Foster, Gervais AND Lilja are in the lineup.

GKJ · Feb 16, 2013

http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/16/carey-price-stomach-flu-wont-play-tonight-vs-flyers/

Price officially out.

RoDu · Feb 16, 2013

crud, a backup

flyers28giroux · Feb 16, 2013

Do not like our chances tonight, it just seems our defensive woes and lack of drive is going to hurt us against the Canadiens.

He's been sick and wasn't at full strength yet.

Ryker · Feb 16, 2013

Can't wait for this one!
