Howie58 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Greetings: We go into the game as mild favorites: https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/new-jersey-philadelphia-odds-october-9-2019-1159396 The youth movement on both squads makes this interesting. I hope our youth is better. I originally posted the game at 7 PM; just saw it is at 7:30. My apologies. Edited October 10, 2019 by TropicalFruitGirl26 Sorry..the 11/9 date that was on it was driving me crazy! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Devils have already given up 12 goals over the last two games so i am hoping that is just the cure for the Flyer's big guns to get on the scoreboard. I would sure hate to lose the home opener to this rival before heading on the road with guys also struggling to score. Something has to give....they have no choice!

This young lady is a novice and apologetic breaker of things, one can tell... Teen-girl Mojo would have been el kabonging that guitar off the TV in zero seconds flat. exhibit A as to why comedy is hard. This almost worked for me, where was gritty with the step in to show how "it's " done ? I would visit the rage room. since I hate, I HATE... speaking of hating, I think I might actually stigmata bleed when I see Wayne Simmonds wear a goddamned Devils sweater, jesus, I almost don't want to tune into the game because of that. But since the Flyers only get to play one game every 14 days, I'm afraid I'll get to missing hockey, not sure what to do... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, will they boo Simmonds as he hopes, or cheer him as I expect! I would love to know who plans these schedules. I can barely make it to the end of an 8 o'clock game and we have this west coast BS already? They hate us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was honored. Love that guy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmatus Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I think some big boos followed by even louder cheering would be a pretty terrific way to honor a guy like Simmonds. It could become a new thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 It will be interesting to see if the Devils get a return on their $5 million Simmonds salary? I suspect that tank is empty but I don't think Ray Shero is a dodo. Scoring aside, Simmonds is what I call a member of the Warrior Class. He will be a good influence on the youngins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJeremy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 That Neanderthal Wood is taking liberties against our guys and Subban cross checked Raffl 4x . I dont see any retaliation by our soft team. Just a matter of time before Morin is on the lineup. Probaly after our guys take a few beatings from some goon.

FD19372 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Nice moment with Simmonds waving to the fans a minute or so into the game. Good pressure in the Devils zone early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Alain Vigneault's Flyer mantra: "Work hard, work smart" Craig Berube's mantra: "Work harder" Hmmm....Vigneault may have one over Berube...he at least advocates 'smarter'..... and if Berube won a Cup without being smarter, I imagine the Flyers are due for two Cups in three years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
