Until the last 10 minutes they did about as good as you could hope (knowing it's an impossible task), but I also have no idea what that unit with the 4th line+AMac would look like if Provorov isn't quickly ascending into our #1 d man. They still give me the willies as our de facto "shutdown" line/pairing for the next 3 weeks or so.

They got eaten alive Tuesday. Tonight they were much more effective. If they can sort of bridge the gap and give us the middle of that road between tonight and Tuesday's performances, they might be OK

Lou was having trouble with names tonight. Didn't have a clue how to say Draisaitl until three stars. Can't spit out Jesse Puljujarvi (it's not easy, but be a pro!)

I just have this funny feeling that Couturier is going to get lowered sheltered minutes going forward so that line can take the tough matchups. On paper 11/24-14-17 and 9-3 looks like a real top matchup unit to me, but it has been proven already I know nothing.

Jake and G tied for 6th in the NHL in points.

That's impressive. Even more impressive given they are not elite.

- Mononoke


Yes I hope the "break Giroux and Jake up talk will stop now" When they are both on their game only a few other tandems are as dangerous as them. Nice to see Giroux get going. If they both stay healthy I can see them both in the top 5 or 6 in scoring this year.

I don't want to spoil poop, but I felt like they had too many plot lines going on at once and didn't give themselves enough time to properly conclude them all. Also, it wasn't that funny. I only laughed like twice.

He's not though. I heard it on this very board.

But hey, what do I know, maybe he is elite. But he absolutely is not Eliteā„¢

Yeah, so lol? I watched the Walking Dead the other day, re-watched Westworld yesterday, and haven't had a chance to watch South Park yet. I'm having difficulty switching off of Westworld mode, ok?!

Pretty sure the Flyers, over the last 50 years, sate their thirst with the tears of their enemies

" did he just say somethin negative about my favourite team?!! oh god, what a baby. we're totally infallibe and nothing negative he said could possibly be true!! we're the good guys!!!"



they always have to look at it like good vs bad guys.
i like my home team guy, so whatever the other guy says is lies!!
