GAME DAY MUSIC

"Superstition " by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

Click to read more...

 

[The Rage Kage]

Cant wait for Hak to start the exact same way and after Elliott has lost the game finally make the switch.

 

[Jtown]

let's try to lose by less than 7 this time.

 

[dingbathero]

GAME 2.... oh boy....

 

[DaphneLion]

Is this gonna be another bloodbath or will the boys actually show up this time?

 

[Alex K]

If we manage to win this game it won't matter how we lost the first one.

Let's go Flyers!

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Luckily this series will not be decided on aggregate goals.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well my pre-series request was that the Flyers would have a game where they wouldn't give up five goals.

One opportunity down and they failed. Let's see about Game Two.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Gonna be the same shit different day. Lehtera is still going to be over Weal. Elliott is still going to suck. Raffl will still be on the first line over Konecny. You know, everything is going to suck because Hak is too f***ing stupid to realize how f***ed he is if he doesn't change for the better.

 

[dats81]

Score a goal, maybe?

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Well my pre-series request was that the Flyers would have a game where they wouldn't give up five goals.

One opportunity down and they failed. Let's see about Game Two.

They succeeded. They didn't give up 5. They gave up 7.

 

[Hapiii]

Elliot will bounce back, Hakstol will adjust, we will score few goals... Who am I kidding; 6-0 loss incoming.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

You guys are so dramatic.

 

[Jtown]

Is this gonna be another bloodbath or will the boys actually show up this time?

they will show up, and it will be bloodbath. So both of your scenario's will occur

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Elliot will bounce back, Hakstol will adjust, we will score few goals... Who am I kidding; 6-0 loss incoming.

One goal against less. Progress!

 

[Striiker]

Well it can't get worse.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

You guys are so dramatic.

Ok, ok. Flyers get up 4-0 and lose 5-4 in OT for the Hak point.

 

[Redpath]

I predict in Game 84 of this season that Hakstol finally figures it all out.

 

[hatcher]

Top players gonna show up and compete. Pens played shitty regular games against but now it's for real and it's no contest. Let's talk about lethera though who's line actually played alright and had the only scoring chances lol. Joke.

 

[Domino666]

Well Dave the “heavy” top line got smoked in game 1, maybe just maybe try to match Pitts speed with TK on the top line, but what the f*** do I know I’m just part of the hive, you know the same hive that was calling for Patrick on PP1 for ever and when he finally gets there, the broadcast was about to erect a statue for you Dick Beet, but anyway you’ve had full reign over this team to do as you like, and what you see fit, and here you are a team that yes made the playoffs, but let’s be honest Howdy Doody’s creepy Uncle they look lost and unmotivated and just took a buttf***ing from the champs, yes, yes it’s only one game but it highlighted was is wrong with your outdated coaching style if you want to call it that, let’s see what they do after being embarrassed, I’m excited to see how you will use you brilliance, your coaching magic (well this is at least what the broadcast team tells me) your move jit bag

 

[Hakroach]

I predict in Game 84 of this season that Hakstol finally figures it all out.

You think Hakstol's going to resign?

 

[Adam Warlock]

Hakstol is so predictable and that is a major issue in a series like this.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Another couple blowouts and Hak will be out of a job.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kings fan coming in peace; being shut out sucks.

Hopefully we both score at least one goal next game.

 

[Harhis]

Well it can't get worse.

I wouldn't be so sure.
