@radoran They might sellout every game, but hardly ever anyone there cheering for Florida. Its all snowbirds. Ever notice that the away team gets more cheers and has more fans???
@jackhole Given that these are professionals and the $$ they are making, motivation should not be a problem. I don't think they got into the nhl by being a lazyass.
Flyers need to stop this trend of coming out with no energy in the 1st period. This was a huge problem last year and was one the reasons, that we lost so many games. In the 1st pre-season game we were flat vs toronto in the 1st and went down 3 goals and failed to "storm" back. The game tues vs nj they were flat in the 1st and outshot 11-4, painful to watch. What do you think the problem is here??
Kessel was put in that position by Carlyle, reason he did not think scott would start anything with the kessel line. Kessel is taking chances when he starts swinging his stick for sure. Kessel did the same thing to Schenn and Holmstrom in another pre-season game http://www.rds.ca/vid%C3%A9os/flyers-3-maple-leafs-2-1.660944
He brought up the comments 1st about the flyers, not me. Maybe if your friend could say what he actually meant in the 1st place then you would not have to spend time clarifying.
I don't use that exaggeration Not correct this is what he posted "As with other Flyer castoffs it almost guarantees we win the Cup! Lol" we as in "his" favorite team the pens, not some other team Instead of we maybe he should have typed "guarantees a Cup win! lol". But given that statement many players over the years have been traded and won the cup, roy, bourque,ect, ect. I don't have time to look them all up right now.
I saw the game there was a fight just before that and the buffalo player got thrown to the ice, looked like he hit his head on the ice, that is what seemed to set scott off.
