just bagged two tix for the lindros jersey retirement even tho I hate his guts
Number 88 will always love you
But Gene Hart & Bobby Taylor think you're a funhole.
i went to the game last night for some reason
this morin person might suck i have no idea but hes massive and got into a fight. i like him.
I recorded the game last night and watched the highlights this morning.
Simmonds. That's the list.
da simmer !
looks like sanheim is IN tonight
now we are getting somewhere
see what the PP does tonight
holy farg what a save...might stand up as save of the year
leggo PP
Nice win last night.
On a lighter note, I wonder how tired SoCal fans are of Philly fans taking over their buildings? The cheering after Simmonds' goal in OT was hilarious.
the pass by cooter on that goal was a thing of pure beauty
Elliott is terrible
Getting their ass kicked tonight.
That Hartnell goal was Charmin soft.
Nice comeback in the second period.
PP is in point tonight and in general they dominated the last period and a half
that necker goal was the best flyer goal in the last five years
Nice go-ahead goal by Koneckny.
I'm just not used to the Flyers being the faster team.
And Hartnell gives them a power play.
well this is disgusting
What the farg was with that challenge?
worst reffed game ever
should also mention how much of an idiot hakstol is
pure destruction
That was a fun game to watch. Loved the goal by Laughton.
Let's hope the Eagles beat the football team from D.C. as badly as the Flyers beat the Capitals.
its just staggering how much better their 2nd unit pp is this year...makes them such a better team
beauty of a rush and a laser by ghost to finish
Giroux with a cherrypicking goal.

Another beat down
Completely forgot the Flyers were playing this afternoon.
MacDonald out 4-6 weeks. Finally time for Morin?
i would guess not....right now they are rotating manning/sanheim....i would think they both play every night now...morin as a 7th defenseman wouldnt make much sense
They're being physically dominated tonight. Lucky to still be tied at this point.
Patrick concussed.
Horrible all around.

Bullshtein no goal 🏒 🥅

Why even bother reviewing the last goal if it was deemed a complete play. It was clearly a goal. If it wasn't for the first period the flyers win this game. They outplayed the Sens in the 2nd and 3rd.

everytime I think about it I can't believe how bad the flyer goalies are

flyers holding on for dear life here
shot attempts this period have to just be ridiculous for the blues
if they can hold on here you will not ever see a more gut check win
check gutted
incredible danick martel just scored in his 6th straight game and now has 14 goals in 14 games this year
Top line is dominant tonight
what a kill
hagg looks great tonight
the flyers suck
not about the team about the youngins
the sixers and flyers are your kids. the phillies and eagles are you step kids.
stop talking about the flyers and sixers
now!
if all 4 teams were your kids, you would give the flyers and sixers 30 extra minutes of tv time for getting a B- (think of the potential!) and send the eagles and phillies to bed early for getting an A (not good enough).
if you had six kids you'd have two phillie triplets
the eagles and phillies kids would get whatever they wanted, sixers kid would only get to that level when acting well and i wouldnt even remember the flyers kids name
What's Bryzgalov doing right now?
trust the proecess eh
the flyers are complete garbage
they have a legit chance at a top 3 pick which would be amazing to add to their system....and my god is provorov good
oh great more of this draft pick crap
hockey doesnt have a process
they have organizational systems....i know you know nothing about hockey but its pretty much identical to baseball as far as that goes...so yeah the more good prospects you can get in your system the better
seems to be doing wonders for them, with all the success theyve had recently
are any of these amazing earth shattering prospects goalies

So did Morin. Assuming both are playing tonight?
I admit they are tough to watch at times but you cant argue the talent that hextall is accumulating.
flyers will take it but thats an awful call
Losers
Team doesn't play hard. No idea how Hakstal still has a job. Goalies blow. They have young talent but nobody to get overly excited about.
Saw a Flyers #18 Maclin Jersey. Does not compute.
shut up theyre going to get a top 5 pick, add more talent and win a cup within 5 years
the eagles suck so this is all we have

Provarov is the only player on the team who is elite. He's really underrated.
They definitely have a load of young talent but they're 3 to 4 years from developing if they ever do. I wish guys like Giroux didn't have such bloated contracts so they could move them and tank for a few seasons.

They suck. That is all.
At the risk of sounding repetitive: this team sucks. At least they didn't wait until the third period to blow their lead this time.
Why is Hakstol still there?
flyers have lost 9 in a row and the eagles have won 9 in a row

They can clear a lot of cap space after the 2018-2019 season. Problem is Giroux and Voracek are approaching 30 and are signed for $8 million + into their mid 30's. Nobody will take on those deals. Simmonds is a valuable trade chip for a contender, cap friendly deal for only a few more years, I'd do the guy a favor and trade him.
I'm glad but it's amazing how bad they are
There may be a riot at the Bank of the Moment Center.

Jake Voracek on what helped the team turn it around following the 10-game skid:
"We got drunk, that helped. We sat down together, we talked about some stuff we wanted to do better. We had some heart-to-hearts and it worked out so it was good."

I watched Lindros the case for 88 last night. Clarke was such a jerk off, you can tell from the interview he realizes that now. Lindros's parents were a little too involved but I don't blame them for wanting to be cautious with him considering what happened to his brother.
I might have said this before on here, or maybe I didn't but enough years have passed that it doesn't matter, but the "collapsed lung" he talks about wasn't from a game hit, he went out to a bar after the game with Recchi or Jones, got drunk...then they smashed their car into a guardrail or tree. The car was still drivable and they drove back to the hotel. He was never examined after the game for an injury. He was sitting in the tub at the hotel in pain and sobering up when Jones came in and told him he needs to suck it up and go to the hospital.

I disagree with his jersey being retired. No Flyer is ever wearing 88 again but still. Lindros is definitely douche level but not close to Mcnabb. Lindros took a lot of heat from the front office for not toughing out a concussion. His brother had to retire at age 20 because of concussions. 10 years later i don't blame the guy. The Hart trophy speech is cringe worthy.
lindros is not as bad because he had bad parenting that made him the way he was...i also dont think hes a terrible person...mcnabb is a god awful person and he is that way all on his own
i just dont think you should retire a jersey where the fan base isnt 98% all in on the player....league hall of fames you can go strictly by stats and put dicks or unlikeables in...
but team retired numbers are as much about love of the player as they are talent or numbers...and while i think lindros has a good rating among fans if 10 was love and 1 was hate lindros might score a 6 or 7...and i dont think he gets a ton of 10's
bonnie and carl >> sam and wilma
not even close....carl lindros is a complete pos thug
sam and wilma actually seem like good people....but sometimes nature > nuture

He didn't mention Snyder or Clarke because they were the reason he parted the team on bad terms. Holmgren and his wife talked him into forgiving the franchise. Whether you agree with him or not he had his reasons for being angry. But it's good to see the two sides have come to resolution.
On a side note great game to attend, third period comebacks are always fun.
he had a whole bit about clarke...about the gm not the person but still he talked about him
he mentioned all the training staff by name and gave them a huge shout out...and that was a huge problem at the time accusing them of being incompetent to the point of almost killing him
and yet not a peep about snyder

I was more invested in the Sixers game to be honest. Plus the Flyers game didn't start until after 8 because of the ceremony. This has been a boring ass year for Flyers hockey, the two games I went to they lost, yet they're only a few pts out of a playoff spot.
Wait. They're only a few points out of a playoff spot even though they lost the two games you went to? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

Nice goal by Koneckny to win it, but that game belongs to Elliot. He was stellar today.

pretty funny how pre-game they asked ghost bear for his thoughts on school violence who then punches someone in the face in the first fifteen seconds.
also how do you grow up in FLA and become an ice hockey player.
7 goals on Lundqvist
Fly guys rollin
They might have to score 7 in every game if both Neuvirth and Elliott are gonna be out.
should signed curtis joseph isntead of john vanbeisbrook
They'll trade for a goalie at the deadline. The last time they were in the playoffs Neuvirth played lights out.
is roman checkmanek available?
They're looking at Marty Biron or Robert Esche
no chance neuvy got hurt
oskar up!!
but where the farg is sanheim?
hot off the wire:
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired goalie Petr Mrazek from Detroit for two conditional draft picks, the Red Wings announced Monday.
The trade, announced on Monday, ends Mrazek's six-year tenure with the Red Wings.
Philadelphia sent a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft and a conditional third-round pick in the 2019 draft to Detroit.
DET guaranteed no less than a 4th round for Mrazek. If PHI makes playoffs and Mrazek wins 5 games for PHI in reg season, 4th becomes a 3rd. If PHI advances to CF, and Mrazek wins six playoff games, the 3rd becomes a 2nd. If PHI re-signs him next season, DET gets PHI 3rd in 19.
This trade is a no-brainer. The Flyers are rolling. A hot goalie in the playoffs and who knows. Hockey's weird.
It's about damn time they brought Lindblom up. See ya later Lehtera
Goooooal!
Keep rollin
flyers are amazingly only three pts behind the caps for the division lead....bad news is the penguins are back to being the penguins
Mrazek needs to learn to tap the ice when pp's are over but otherwise a solid debut
1 point back of the collapsitals
Legit question: Cup?
Offense: Good
Defense: Young but good
Goalie: Sure
It's the NHL. Only thing that matters is who's hot in the playoffs.
Right now they need to stay hot just to make the playoffs because the whole division top to bottom is separated by like 7 games.

I'd rather see 10 minute 3 on 3's (for as much as I hate the shootout I love 3 on 3) and the game ending in a tie. Both teams get a point either way...it's dumb to reward one team with an extra point because they're better at shootouts. You can slowly see Konecny developing into a top winger, and he's only 20.
my dream scenario:
-cut 8/10 teams out of the league (bye nashville, florida, tampa)
-60 something game schedule
-20 minute 3 on 3 ot, then a tie
-3 points for a regulation win, 2 for an ot win, 1 for tie/ot loss
and bring back the mighty whale.
Tampa's actually been top 10 in attendance the last six years.
Florida screwed up by putting their arena in Broward. They were trying to somehow hit both Miami and West Palm Beach (and even Naples to some degree across the alley) by centralizing, but ended up missing both.
Makes my drive easier when I go to the Flyers game, though, so leave it alone!

I have no problem with teams wherever. Who cares
Owners will never go for a 60 something game schedule. Who cares about the length of the season anyway
20 minute 3 on 3 is absurd. Players are worn down and 25% of all games go to OT.
Go back to a game ending in a tie equals 1 point for each team. I never saw the issue
These are just my opinions
Yes on the might whale
that wasnt supposed to realistic..of course nobody is giving up games/money. its what i would do if i was dictator of hockey.
youd figure with fewer games, players would have more in the tank for 3on3. the thinking would be someone would eventually score before it got to 10 minutes, let alone 20.

Had a busy morning with the kids (Track meet AM and baseball game at 1pm).
And, believe it or not, I can't (legally) get the game here. It's "locally blocked" on my NHL package, but not actually shown in the Fort Myers/Naples market. I think I would only have caught the late 3rd period and OT/SO anyway.
I watched
Great game
Flyers got the benefit of a lot of calls
Vasilevskiy gave up 6 goals but played stellar
Mrazek wasn't sharp
Stamkos
Provorov
Flyers should have won it in 3 on3 OT especially with a pp

Mrazek has been horrible these past 3 games but at the same time Hakstol should have played Lyon on a back to back. Oduya was bad.

Lyons isn't anything special but he's better than Mrazek Not sure why they keep trotting him out there, he blows.
Detroit was given the moniker of "Hockey Town USA" meanwhile their stands are 1/3 full. I know the Red Wings blow but even when the Flyers blow their attendance is still outstanding.
i agree the hockeytown moniker is dumb but detroit has actually sold more tickets than the flyers this season....but worst team in the league coming off ten straight losses gonna have a lot of no shows
not saying they would make a run to the cup or anything mostly because they are playing so many kids but in a 7 game series the flyers can beat anyone except as has been the case for the last 30 years they have worse goal tending than pretty much everyone

I had to look it up for myself but you're correct, their attendance is 3rd in the league and slightly higher than the Flyers. Both times the Flyers played them their arena was dead. I have to wonder does the league/teams count tickets sold as attendance or actual people in the stadium as attendance.
The only silver lining I'll throw out there is Neuvirth should be back come playoff time. He's average but a few years ago he was lights out against he Caps. Some players just know how to take it up a notch come playoff time. Ultimately they're still too young especially on D to make a run who knows...this team is really streaky.
its always been tickets sold
and bragging about the stepford flyers fans isnt exactly something i would do
Nothing generates no-shows like a team that's been good for centuries suddenly sucking.
If actual attendance or % attendance was recorded, no way would the Wings be in the top 3.
A ton of no-shows at Pistons games too, but I think the reason is different. Moving downtown was moving away from the people who can afford to regularly attend.
detroit is the second best sports town in the country next to philly...they just arent hockey town on a tuesday nite when the team has lost ten in a row and is out of the playoffs

Masters of the OTL
today was one of the uglier OT's youll ever see...i think the flyers had the puck for a total of like ten seconds but in general they are a pretty good OT team
its the shootout where they are an abomination
i dont know who was worse on the crosby 3P goal cooter for giving a pathetic effort on the coverage or mrazek for being laughably our of position
Travis Konecny is by far the most underrated athlete in the city. He's been one of the best forwards in the league this past month. He gets better every game
So... Neuvirth lasted all of two periods?
Konecny my god

That play was amazing. Had to rewind it a couple of times.
why is it that everytime tv shows hak he has this puzzled look on his face like hes trying to figure out where he parked his car
Love Simmonds... but that play was awful. May have cost them a point.

As soon as that didn't clear I knew it was going to OT
Giroux is having a career year

I may have said a few unholy things on this Easter Sunday after that turn of events... :paranoid
At least they got the second point. Probably doesn't mean much in the long run because the Flyers are one-and-done whether they play Boston, Tampa, Washington or Pittsburgh. They're just not good enough right now.
they can beat the caps because theyre the caps and they choke all the time.....pens would be a disaster
I'm not sure you can find a game with two better goals than giroux/connector yesterday
they legit had the two best goals of the season in the same game

Big fat egg the Flyers are laying tonight.
Mrazek is so bad
Patrick is on a roll
Mrazek makes me pine for Bryzgalov.
holy shtein the flyer goalies are bad....even for them
everyone tried to lose in the game tonight and the flyers won
boston florida tied 2-2 for the flyers to get in
so much for that florida gonna win 3-2
and then get swept by tampa

Their goalies are so bad I don't see another scenario then a 1st round sweep. Shame, their forwards are playing well, D is young but with limited depth. With a halfway decent goalie I think they could maybe win a round.
if you want to know where flyers fans are right now im talking to buddy about this who is a legit stepford fan that hates all sports except for hockey:
Quotego back to your hole
the flyers are fine
Giroux after his 3rd goal:
flyers gonna get absolutely run by pittsburgh
do the flyers have a goon that can take out cindy at least
Good read from the Players Tribune by Wayne Simmonds about NHL Pioneer Willie O'Ree. (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/wayne-simmonds-the-astronaut)
sean mcindoe does an awesome annual bandwagon column for the nhl playoffs where he ranks each playoff team, in terms of the strength of their bandwagon...
flyers came in 10th
No. 10: Philadelphia Flyers
Why you should get on board: They've got a young team that's probably better than you think, and if you're sick of Crosby and the Penguins then here's your first choice to root for their opponents. Plus if you're a Flyers fan, you get to go around harassing everyone about Claude Giroux's MVP case.
Why you shouldn't: It's the Flyers, so it goes without saying that the goaltending is a question mark. Also, even the Avalanche won more games during the season, so the chances of a long run seem dicey.
Bottom line: They're not a bad option. Philadelphia wins everything these days, so you might as well get in early.
series over
It's early but the Flyers are outplaying them. Goalie blows

murray has been bad this year....the difference in the series is the pens have true finishers...and three lines of them
They literally had 2 more points in the regular season or a 1 game difference out of 82. They're not the 77 Canadiens, IGY. Slow your funeral procession.

the penguins couldnt give a farg about the regular season they about cups....but thats not even what i was talking about
im talking about their offense being something that good defenses and goalies cant stop much less the flyers....i think just about any playoff team right now would take the penguins third line as their second...their offense is just crazy deep
Lol. Didn't read.

Awesome. You haven't seen ten minutes total in your life. Stfu junior.
yea theyre playing great, my bad
Neurvirth almost stole the series against the Caps a few seasons ago no idea why they'd stick with Elliott
eliott is by no means good and he might even still be hurt but the goalie is irrelevant....for the flyers to have any chance and they dont they would have to score with the pens...they arent stopping them over a full series
think about this the penguins have derek brassard and phil kessel on their THIRD line
Quote from: MDS on April 11, 2018, 07:50:14 PM

You honestly wouldn't know the difference. IGY is just trolling or reverse trolling or whatever the farg he does. You're just plain ignorant about the sport. That's fine, though It's a free country.

if garth snow is going to be this bad they outta put sean burke in
May as well put a trash can in front of the goal.
The Pens purposely tanked from 2002-2006 to get where they are today. The process works
pens trying to outscore the sixers

The trash can was unavailable tonight. Too busy closing for the Phils.

Helluva game from Elliott. Didn't think he had it in him. Be nice to see Giroux and Voracek show up at some point. Youngins be here.
but i thought the series was over?

it is, for the penguins
I honestly can't think of another player that I'd rather have less on a Philly team than Crosby. He is such a gaping bleeding vagina, I can't see how anyone could cheer for him. He's immensely talented, obviously, and he's a winner but he's also a disgustingly whiny human piece of Nova Scotian trash. Him smashing his stick after missing a wide open net was beeee-you-tee-ful.
When I lived in Pittsburgh, the way those fans talked about Crosby was the most difficult sports thing in the town to tolerate. They are highly protective of him and almost infantilize him, they were still calling him "Sid the Kid" when he was like 28. I found the relationship between the city and the player to be highly weird, like some podunk Texas town circling their wagons around the star HS quarterback, and it wasn't something that existed with Big Ben or Cutch or any of the other stars that passed through town. They also love him a million times more than Malkin, who is nearly his equal as a player, and who plays a style that is more fun to watch.
For what it's worth, he's a lot less of a whining, diving, starting-shtein-and-running-away bitch than he used to be. That and the NHL's unique focus on promoting him was a brutal combination.
If he had ended up in Philly, it would have been a somewhat strained situation with the fanbase, a la Lindros.
I watched a bit of the replay again this morning, Provorov was the best player in the ice. Most valuable Flyer by a long shot.
This one seems like a repeat of Game 1.
They should sit Voracek for game 4
We got em right where we want em. No worries.
Elliott is straight garbage.
They are so inferior in every aspect of the game that has to do with scoring or preventing goals that it seems unfair to just shtein on the bad goalies.
I didn't watch many flyers games this year so I will condition my comment on that but is there a bigger fraud in philly sports in terms of being "great" than Claude Giroux

If you have a goalie whose play is so inferior that it causes the skaters to say, "here we go again" after five minutes, yeah, it's fair to blame him.
Look they've all played badly. Hakstol is a third rate coach. The veterans on the team are soft as farg. It's an ugly combination. And it's all on Hextall now. He has to do what's necessary to fix this mediocre slow ass no skill bunch of misfits.
The effort in this series is farging shameful, but overall I'm not depressed about where this team is in the rebuild. The season was maybe a bit above expectations, all things considered. The pipeline is stacked. Hakstol can be fired into the sun though.
Go Sixers.
i dont know why people are flipping out about this series....they have won one more game than expected...the penguins are simply a far superior team

only the most homer of flyer fans would say hes great....i find that he gets as much or maybe more hate than love from the fanbase....the truth is that it lies somewhere in the middle...hes a very good but not quite great player...his main problem has always been that the teams biggest rival has had two all time HOF greats on their team for giroux's whole career....giroux tho is almost a pt per game guy in the playoffs thruout his career and absolutely dominated the penguins in one of playoff years he just isnt good enough to be consistently great...he would have been an amazing second liner on a really good/great team
hakstols lineup tonight is horrible even for him
i appreciate hextalls hand off approach the last fews years and not interfering with the coachs decisions but he better fire the farg out of hakstol right after this game ends

This is so 100% accurate it's like I wrote it.
its absolutely mind boggling that lindblom and sanheim are scratched while lehtera filippa weise manning and mcdonald are all playing
weise especially....hes horrid anyway but the thinking that putting him in an elimination game is somehow going to contribute to saving your team is comical
yes!!
what a gut check game
The look on Cindy's face after Neuvy stoned him was awesome.
Holy shtein farg you, Pittsburgh.
the irony of tonight is that they scrapped out a win with a terrible lineup a lineup that idiot hakstol will go with again as he probably should cause you cant bench people after a win but they will be eliminated because of it
The next game could be 8-0.
Fun to watch them win at the end, but it just seems to set up the loss at home tomorrow.
Any word on Provorov? He left the ice with McCrossin at the end.
flyers have 11 goals this series......sidney crosby has 6
wow coots
They've looked like a completely different team in Games 5 and 6 than they did in 1-4
gudas is just awful

pittsburgh and flyers have played ten times this year penguins have scored 5+ goals in eight of them
What the hell just happened?
Quote from: Don Ho on April 22, 2018, 05:39:15 PM
What the hell just happened?
the flyers gave up 7 goals at home in an elimination game against a malkinless penguins team
Stupid farging inbred fans throwing shtein.
well at least one organizaton is staying true to its philadelphia roots
Any chance of the Flyers getting... maybe a goalie?
Coots played the last two games with a torn MCL. How is that even possible?
As someone who's had that same injury, (and a torn meniscus too) I'll just say he must be a tough motherfarger and/or the Flyers doctors loaded him up before both games.
Either way... props.

carter hart....of course almost all goalies not taken in like the top 5 usually need a couple years of seasoning in the AHL
brutal knee on knee hit against sanheim gave the phantoms a PP with a minute left tonight in game 1 and they scored to win....obviously thats the least important part of this
one of the most incredible things you'll ever see in sports....Alex Lyon had 94 saves for the phantoms tonight
Yet Hexy and the North Dakotan kept running the sieve sister duo of Elliott/Neuvy our there.
what was crazy about that game last night is the phantoms lost samuel 'mr glass' morin in the second period...they played two games of hockey in one night short on defensemen
