Ah, the old Philly at New Year's game. There have certainly been some nightmarish contests between these two teams at this time of the year in our past. Hopefully we buck the trend this go-round.
Philly has been a lot better this year than they have been of late, though. I think a lot of that is down to Couturier being back - he's such a critical player.

Bernie Pascall with an opening spiel that may as well describe tomorrow's game

Halloween too.
Prediction: 8-1 Philly. f***ing John LeClair gets 3 goals. Lindros 2 goals. Hopefully our goons in Brashear are ready to win the fights in this one.
I was at the 8-0 game in 97. Ruined my date night with my wife. GRRRR Non of that tomorrow.

I was young but I remember that team just getting blown out a lot during that season. Mark Messier was such a total bum. Got his payday, his captaincy and the team around him flat out quit and didn't have any desire to compete.
But remember...there is the "Mark Messier Leadership Award." LOL.
I hate gimmicks but that award shpuld change names every year.. so whoever wins it the next guy wins the player x leadership award
Such a dumb trophy imo anyway so unmeasurable
I went to a Orca Flyer game way back with a buddy. We won 6-2, Andrew Alberts got into a fight, and the whole arena was jeering goalie's name thusly:
BOOCHER!! BOOOOOOOOOOOCHER!!
BOOCHER!! BOOOOOOOOOOOCHER!!

Man, that 2011 team was filthy.
The 8-0 destruction game still stands out in my memory LOL.
Loved Shorty calling the highlights of that 5-5 tie. "Russ Courtnall, off the top rope!"

Philly were a team I expected to be languishing at the bottom of the league this season,but they have played well.
Their record in their last 10 is 7-1-2 (same as the Canucks).
Hopefully the Canucks can make up for that game early this season ,where they were out hustled by the Flyers in every way

Would be nice to see the rest benefitting out top guys, it’s fantastic that we have a bottom six chipping in but I wanna see consistency from the top lines too
Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
This game with Philly will be a real challenge due to how Torts has the Flyers playing. I still get sticker shock looking at the current standings.

Appreciate tomorrow’s game because they have another 4 day break immediately afterwards.
Nice for the bois to catch a break after such a tight schedule.
Wonder if Torts will storm into the canucks locker room

Good news for the exhausted Canucks players. Bad news for the fans
Anybody's guess how the Canucks will hit the ice after this break.....around the league tonight there were definitely teams who played like they were full of turkey.
But with only two games over a 10 day stretch against the Flyers and then the Sens, the break will do the Canucks a lot of good in the long run. Fatigue is a big factor as the schedule moves into January.
Hopefully the Flyers come out flat after the Xmas break and then a flight across the continent. And they play in Seattle on Friday and then in Calgary on Sunday. So a tough stretch for them.

It will give them a chance to work with Kuzmenko in practice. This is a good semi-pause for the team. We have a big East Coast swing coming up.
