Boatloads of lessons to be learned the hard way last night. Good thing the sun will come back out tomorrow and they will play again.

Someone say something happy.....just anything

It's one of my friend's birthdays and he just came by and offered me a cookie. That's pretty special.

Good idea...taking the youngest for ice cream this afternoon... and we’ll eat it before it melts.

Well, I woke up, again. And my heart hurts when I breath. And another one of my friends died.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Maybe this should be a favorite songs day.
It feels so yucky today.

Did everyone get to read this? I don’t like all the choices but it is no doubt fun.

It's a Nick Swardson joke from when he was young, handsome, and funny.

But appreciate it nonetheless.

I didn't, but some of these are hilarious. If JVR scored and pony started playing I'd piss my pants.

Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Flyers Comeback Goes for Naught in 5-3 Loss to Isles
- bmeltzer

It’s hard to fault the team for the slow start due to playing the night before and the tough schedule. What I find odd is AV switching things up after two impressive wins with the same line up. Some were down on Laughton’s play in the first half of the game. Well the poor kid was playing wing one night and center the next. The poor kid has had lights out chemistry with Jevin Hayes and suddenly removed from his line. The unneeded switch up could be faulted for some players as well.

Ghostbusters is a nice one, too bad we'd never hear it considering Ghost doesnt score anymore

Frost choosing Frozen makes me lose respect for him.

Love Hayes, Provy, Raffl and Pitlicks choices.

Don't think the players actually chose them, the author did. So don't lose too much respect for them...

I thought this too last night, but soon realized the Isles played the Caps Monday night.

Yeah, but why juggle lines then? I'd have come back with the exact same lineup minus Hart.

Because Frost came out and Farabee back in.

To fit Farabee I suppose. Frost struggled a little against the Panthers on Monday if I remember correctly. Farabee was so good before getting sick so I understand wanting him back.

Hextall had moves he could do without jeopardizing the team, Fletcher doesnt. If we add someone we gotta subtract someone. Who are you moving out of the lineup to make room for an addition plus have cap space? This isnt the same as Hextal not grabbing guys because he expects AHL players to make the jump. They young players here are on the rosters. They need time to develop. Pushing them out of the lineup is counter productive.

Yesterday you were telling me they have the cap space to add Hoffman. This is a contradiction.

The first period obviously killed the team last night as much as the final goal did.

You can't fall down 3-0 , burn all that energy trying to come back on the end of a B2B and expect it to go smooth.

No doubt it was encouraging that the Flyers dominated for large stretches of the game , that they battled back , you could find a lot of positives in the game but they are all outweighed by the fact they lost to a team they care chasing.

Still, one game.. Just like the Caps win was one game or the Devils loss was one game. Move on from it and get ready for Thursday night.

So after 9 years working for a large corporation, I just became aware of what "working capital" is after 3 of my vendors told me that my company is on temporary credit hold.

I wish I could do this with my credit card.

There should be a just one game column in the NHL standings. If they miss the playoffs by a point or two, hey it's just one game. At some point they're going to run out of just one game excuses and learn that they have to play every game as if it matters if they want to make the playoffs.

Who are the team leaders and responsible for making sure the team is ready to play at the start of games?
- MJL


Sorry but professional athletes shouldn't need someone "making sure they're ready to play" every game. It's about doing your job to the best of your ability every day. Intrinsic motivation! I guess some players have more of it than others do. It's as simple as that!
