Howie58 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Greetings: We come into the game as heavy underdogs: https://www.docsports.com/free-picks/nhl-hockey/2021/philadelphia-flyers-vs-pittsburgh-penguins-prediction-4-15-2021-nhl-pick-tips-and-odds.html Normally, I would say a Flyers-Pens Game defies odds. But, we are playing far below expectations: https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/flyers/flyers-gm-chuck-fletcher-uncomfortable-spot-because-he-was-too-comfortable Can we avoid losing by five or more goals?

OccamsRazor Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I sure hope Weasel Ron isn't trying to steal Noah Cates from the Flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Interesting: Flyers have lost 7 games by 5 goals or more. 7 out of 42 games. So once in every 6 games they are losing by 5 goals or more. 17% of the games.The Buffalo Sabres who had an 18 game losing streak, have lost 1 game in 42 by 5 goals or more.

Samifan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I refuse to subject myself to this hot garbage anymore. I will just wait until tomorrow morning to review the box score to see how many points Crosby and Jeff Carter rack up. I will also see if Hart made it through the entire game without getting the hook. #IHATEJAKE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipped back to watch Wheel. I'll see you at the box score. I also expect another day of phone calls from Flyers ticketing telling me about some exciting news they have to share with me about opportunities for next season. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the morning email right on schedule. The best thing about getting season tickets for next season? It's even easier to transfer them to other people! Reminds me of friends in Buffalo who would get season tickets and finance them by selling them off to Leafs and Habs fans. #winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Yeah, the stench is too much to cover up. Apparently, Keith Jones' remarks after the last game were hard to swallow for some of the corporate types, but earned kudos from outsiders. I suspect Fletcher can't admit publicly that it's rebuild time. But everyone knows it: https://www.phillyvoice.com/flyers-trade-deadline-draft-picks-news-analysis-scott-laughton-contract-michael-raffl-rebuild-chuck-fletcher/ Voracek, Giroux...it doesn't matter. Say auf wiedersehen and get picks or cap space and move on. My new watch gig: I sit through the first period. If they aren't down by more than 2, I will continue. If down by 2+, I exercise and tune in for the third. Even that is too much to bear these days. I guess Taryn makes it a bit easier. Meanwhile, next year become a real pivot before our eyes. For the first time in ages, we may see a wholesale roster change ala 2008. Good. This group ain't cutting the mustard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell with that...if he takes out Crosby, gets a penalty and scores a goal on his next shift, he'll get a five year extension, they'll strip the C from Giroux..and Morin will be named captain.

And guess which team Sidney has the most points vs for his career ? If you said the Flyers you'd be right. So ha ha, that old dude cross checked a 19 year old in the mouth and broke some teeth. The 19 year old has torched that old dude's team for over a decade. we win? Hate that guy all you want, he's been the best player in the league for most of his career and will moon walk into the HHOF. I hate he's used my favorite team to pad his stats. I hate that team and fan base so much it's irrational. I'm not watching this ******** tonight because I don't want to see the boys taking their sticks for skates and getting lit up by 3rd liners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to start watching with about a minute left in the first, then after about 15 minutes go do something else. Check back in about 45 minutes later at the end of the 2nd. If the score at the start of the 3rd is decent I'll watch the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had on a long-sleeved tight white shirt and skirt a few games back....HUBBA HUBBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
