Let's do that hockey!

 

[57special]

Simply impossible to lose this, right?

Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it!


... or something.

Fluery playing. Probably a shutout

Fluery playing. Probably a shutout

Still weird to see that name.

 

[Sad People]

Lets go Wild

 

[MNRube]

It’s impressive how quickly Fletcher has drained the Flyers organization of talent & direction. He inherited a fairly good situation too.

As a superstitious person, you guys are making me twitch!

TRAP GAME

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

No evidence to back this up but I feel like they've typically taken care of business against bad teams at home this year. Don't see any reason why this should be different.

While his term in Minnesota had its ups and downs (very debatable and don't want to bring that discussion to the GDT), he seems to have done a significantly worse job in Philly.

The question is why; I thought that Fletcher would have learned.

Sometimes you over-correct? No idea, man.

I thought he did a very good job here & although the Parise/Suter contracts came back to bite us in the ass, being retroactively punished did too. Some of his rental plays were okay, but they were too frequent & often weren’t the right targets.

No clue what the f*** he’s been doing in Philly though. Like some of his moves have just been crazy bad. Not sure if Dumba has Philly on his NTC, but we really could’ve fleeced Fletcher in a trade there.

You mean signing Ristolainen to 5/$25,500,000 isn't good?

 

[Wasted Talent]

You mean signing Ristolainen to 5/$25,500,000 isn't good?

Let alone spending real assets to acquire Ristolainen

 

[thestonedkoala]

His Giroux trade was also pretty awful.

I think the bigger roadblock was Guerin seems uninterested in trading Dumba.

His Giroux trade was also pretty awful.

Giroux has a NMC and only wanted to go to Florida. Not much Fletcher can do there.

If I read it right, we've only lost at home once this season to a team <.500. so yes we good

 

[TaLoN]

And that one L was a SO L... so not really a loss playing actual hockey.

 

[AKL]

It's too bad we won't get to play any non-playoff teams in the playoffs. We'd probably do really well.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think we see a new season points record tonight.

 

[fredrikstad]

Let's go Wild!

 

[Minnesota]

Flyers get eliminated from playoff contention with a loss tonight.
