the flyers secret weapon tonight is those endboards, just fire away since most of their shots get blocked anyway
- vejim

that canucks game is the blueprint: do something good by playing hard and scoring first only to have some horse$%#t bad luck play happen 10 seconds later. they will play ok but lose most of their games, i fear, as they still don't/can't/won't play 60 mins. then with 10 games left, being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention since new years day, they will figure it all out and go 9-1 dropping them from a top 2 pick to the mid teens; this will give all the fans hope for the following year.......

If they can somehow manage 2 points tonight, and head into the 6 day break with some confidence, we may see a different team next week. Lecavalier should be back then giving the lineup some more depth.

This is an important game.

Have you seen that travesty of a music video they play before the game? She should be embarrassed.

Related topic -- I have noticed a *definite* decline in the quality of the work that the 3601 production crew puts out over the past few years. They won an award for the pump-up video the year that Briere and Timonen and Hartnell came on board but those same videos the past few years have been boring dreck.

And without knowing all the details, I feel the in-game stuff is lazy. I don't buy that there is a technical reason that they can't show immediate replays on a regular basis. Perhaps on certain controversial calls the NHL forbids them from showing it, but there are plenty of other things that happen that they should be showing but don't. They have no problem pushing merchandise though. I realize this is probably a top-down command from Lukko, but it is preposterous either way.

Building a foundation for our relationship. Otherwise I am considered a troll. I'm not a name caller if that helps. Just looking forward to renewing acquaintances mostly.

I'm just playing. I can take the smackdown. I know it's coming tonight. You have to take it if you're going to give it.

I learned over the years that Snider is generous to the players and cheap when it comes to the fans

Agreed... although she did finally got rhythmically in sync with the backing track for the US Anthem... it only took her, what... 4-5 years?

Flyers win a close one (3-2) or they get soundly thrashed (6-1)
- Scoob


If we lose this one in epic beatdown fashion, changes will be short to follow. If Fleury plays, I think we might have a chance.. LOL..

They have to win this, but I don't know if they can score 3 goals to have a chance.

In a country that bases singing talent on what they've seen from idol competitions and where Taylor Swift is a multi-platinum 'artist'?

Good news is that the Flyers are the Penguins kryptonite... bad news is the Flyers are their own kryptonite... no idea how this is going to go tonight.
