Scheduled practices this week (could change):

• WED: 11:30 a.m. at the Skatezone in Voorhees, NJ (that is a recent change as it was listed at 10:30).
• THU: 10:30 a.m. at the Skatezone in Voorhees, NJ

Updates will be made when provided.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm betting all my vCash on--

Oh, wait.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

I'm betting all my vCash on--

Oh, wait.

We might as well just keep doing it. There's no where to go but up!

 

[Garbage Goal]

This should be fun and by fun I mean agonizing.

 

[Striiker]

If there's a team that the offense could break out against, it's the Pens. On top of that, going into the week break on a good note with a win and a bunch of goals is pretty much the best we can ask for at this point. It would also be really good for confidence to beat our main rival who is on top of the division. Like I said, if there's going to be a "turning point" in this season, this is the chance.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

its hard to get excited thinking the team will finaly find its offense, given its the Cindy C. show and the refs are as they always will be when Bettmans fav. son is playing.

still it would be worth extra troll points if this is indeed the breakout game for our missing O. stars.

but im not gunna hold out for it.

but im not gunna hold out for it.

It's not like the refs favoring the Pens different from every other team the Flyers play. Remember the games against the Red Wings and Habs? We're consistently screwed by the opponents 7th player. Either way, the Flyers usually seem to be the Pens kryptonite so I really think that if the offense is going to suddenly get it going it'll be against them.

 

[Beef Invictus]

We might as well just keep doing it. There's no where to go but up!

My consolation vCash has arrived. Bookie, put all of my 50 vDollars on the damned Flyers!

 

[Garbage Goal]

I'm considering spending my time doing something more productive for this game like clawing my eyes our or watching Jersey Shore.

 

[Karma]

Hopefully we score some goals for Stevezina Mason.

 

[Flyerss]

i got 666vCash left for this game

 

[Hiesenberg]

This game is going to cause a trade. Huge break in between games? No doubt 1 or 2 players will not be with this team for the NYR game is my guess.

 

[bennysflyers16]

MAF is just what the doctors ordered

 

[Cuiff]

After we lose to the Pens Homer better get fired...this team has become a joke and it happened on his watch.

 

[jd2210]

I need to make myself a Meme.

Finally gets Center Ice Package

*picture of me*

Flyers lose every game

 

[Hiesenberg]

I'm glad I'm working tomorrow night.

 

[flyershockey]

I blame the new TV I bought after the Florida game. I've yet to see a Flyers win on the damn thing. Oh and another 50 in vCash for this one.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Time to shine... or **** your pants. There's no middle ground.

 

[Hiesenberg]

I remember when the Flyers used to be good, or at least scored goals.

I miss those days

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

I wanna see this and a win.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i predict the biggest/ugliest lop-sided loss of the season to date.

this ones gunna be ugly, and the Pens will run up the score without mercy.

 

[Sniped]

I wanna see this and a win.

I wanna see that with Malkin getting molly-whopped.

 

[King Forsberg]

Theres no way were losing this game.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Theres no way were losing this game.

What?
