Greetings:

 

We go into the game as mild favorites:

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.

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!

Dear lawd i sure hope this isn't because they are planning on a bad season...a rage room???

 

@radoran

 

 

I think @ruxpin might need one of these installed in his house....sure hope they won't need it tonight.

What that segment needed was Teen-girl Mojo to really bust some **** up. 

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...:ph34r:

I know, right!  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!

Just boo him then cheer him.

 

Or cheer him then boo him either is fine by me.

“Give me a couple boos,” Simmonds pleaded. “It’s only right, especially in Philadelphia. The fan base is just so passionate. To me, it would kind of be an honor to be booed. It’s crazy to say.”

That's exactly how Santa felt, despite all the negative reports to the contrary. He was honored. Love that guy.

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.

I'm just curious: What other classes are you thinking? Are they all medieval inspired? I hope so.

You should watch yourself - there's another meaning for that in Philadelphia on New Year's...

Those are some of the "wenches" in the Mummer's Parade, yes. Or, as you accurately describe it, hell.

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.

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... :shifty:

Maybe ask Vigneault, but don't ask Chief "how".:ph34r: (Never gets old).
