Greetings:

 

The O and B are heavy favorites, as you might expect:

I hope they Flyers don't have their eyes on the rematch with Washington. They also need win all three periods.   It looks like the two Carters going against each other between the pipes.

Hart in goal tonight.

 

 

 

Man this team could be so much better if their #2 overall pick would show some motivation to lock that 3rd line center spot down and help make his wingers better...i expected much more than what we have seen this year from the kid....how long do we wait???

Til he's given a contract extension he isn't worth, and he's past the point of being able to argue that he's still young with promise

I like these lines better. Patrick needs to be on the 4th.

 

I feel for NAK but Oskar G and Jake might be ok for a 3rd line i hope Oskar will shoot because the other two won't.

 

 

Ghost and Hagg again...yikes.

No excuses not to light this dumpster fire team up. Stay out of the box and shoot the puck!

the Flyers should win this game

 

OH MAN! Reported!.... ;)

 

Last time I checked, the Flyers aren't always the best at winning games they are "supposed" to win.....something about playing down to the competition or something??....

 

HOWEVER, seeing how Buff is one of the only teams we have looked "good" against this year, I'll take a step back and agree with you on this one. Flyers SHOULD and BETTER win this game. Enough "gaffs" and "bad bounces" and whatever excuses.....

 

JUST GO OUT AND COMPETE FOR A FULL 60 MINUTES!!! One would think with our roster and record, that would produce a win against a "Eichel-less" buffalo! Right?

Problem here is a 30 minute effort against Buffalo will look like a full 60

 

Then when we play Was, we'll just look like fools
