Can't even enjoy the 2 goal leads anymore. - Pelle31Forever
You age 10 years each game by watching this country club travesty 😔 |

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts the Flyers are already in their own heads thinking "oh sh!t here we go again " |

And now they will fold mentally and spend the rest of the game feeling sorry for themselves. - MBFlyerfan
What is the Flyers record when they blow a 2 goal lead? |

He got his record, now trade that slouch!!! - THE EVIL WITHIN
I think Yandle is the definition of un-tradable! Unfortunately... |

Good for you, but I don't understand how this story bears out your first point. You did not crash. People thought you couldn't do something, and you showed them. Good for you.
I have a similar story with a different punch line. I got into a well known 4 year college, but couldn't afford the tuition even after financial aid. I went to a different state university and did 2 jobs ( not 3 like you). During evenings, I would manage the salad bar at a local Arby's. In the weekends, I would be part of a janitorial cleaning crew that would clean short term residential housing the university cleaned for visiting faculty and their family.
I could not afford to pay real rent. So I lived with a very old lady, in her attic. Rent in the late 80s was $100 a month, all inclusive (electricity/phone/tv/gas/use of her kitchen etc). This landlady had her tv on so loud that I could not study. The attic became an echo chamber. So, I asked permission if I could use her walk-in closet in her bedroom while she watched tv, and she was very nice, and she let me use it, and I squeezed my very large body in there and studied with the closet light.
I transferred to my first choice of college after sophomore year. I took 16 classes that junior year (6 each in the 2 semesters, and 4 in summer) and graduated in 3 years total. I then came to grad school in Philly which offered me a generous stipend and was so worn down I did very poorly that first year.
I also had the loan for paying for that 1 year in my new college. It grew and grew over my gradate school years reaching 6 figures, which curtailed many choices I could have had, choices foregone that changed my life for the worse. For the 1st 10 years of my marriage, we lived in a 600 sq foot apartment. My wife came from a humble family too and she too had to pay her loans. Our honeymoon was a Philly hotel. That's all we could afford.
Moral of story: there is nothing romantic about hardship and strife. It should not be romanticized or made into a vainglorious story. Rather than looking for Flyers to play the role of the underdog, I would like them to have the luxury of talent and not having to do all those grandiose things that usually lead to poor outcomes. - PT21
Obviously the hard work paid off…which in itself is a solid life lesson’s story. If you lack talent then it’s a must to never be outworked. Far to often the Flyers match up against more talented teams who are also more dedicated to their process.

You're right, think about how much worse that Flyers' locker room would be without Yandle keeping every upbeat! |

Saw a quick highlight, was that Sanheim getting outmuscled by Lee for the second goal? |

Old boys club, crack some jokes, keep it light, go out and screen you goalie for a minus. But he’s fun you know |

Well, the Islanders win when they score 3 goals so I guess this game is over. The Islanders were having trouble scoring 3 goals this year, until ... |

Would be nice to see the Flyers draw a penalty but you know that would require skating hard. |
