Howie58 Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Greetings: We are heavy underdogs. We are also 0-5 against Boston this year, and go into the game 2-6 overall: https://sportschatplace.com/nhl-picks/2021/04/05/boston-bruins-vs-philadelphia-flyers-nhl-picks-odds-predictions This is a consequential week. Trade deadline aside, I wonder if we will be below .500 by tax day? Quote

Just sell sell sell while you can. 2 Quote

Samifan Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Not watching tonight, can’t watch them get humiliated by Boston again and hear the douche bag Jack Edwards gloating. I will check in after the game to see where Voracek ended up on the suck-o-meter. #IHATEJAKE Edited April 5, 2021 by Samifan Quote
radoran Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 I'm doing my part. I picked up Darth Vladar in NAHANA... These games will tell us a lot about where this team's head is. Boston has the firepower to blow their doors off if they're not focused on playing competent hockey. Lose both of these and ol' Fletch needs to bite the bullet and realize that "adding" rightnow isn't in the cards. Other than that, it would depend on the nature of the win(s). 1 Quote

Podein25 Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Prediction: 12-1 Bruins, 8 goals for Pastrnak, Marchand licks somebody. Quote

I will check in after the game to see where Voracek ended up on the suck-o-meter. #IHATEJAKE You may have seen Jake talking about how "play 60 minutes" is a "hockey cliche" because no team ever controls a game for all 60 minutes. Yes, he said this after the Isles loss following the Buffalo 6-1 debacle. I'm guessing he didn't see the 6-1 loss. https://twitter.com/billmeltzer/status/1378529367479959562?s=2 If this isn't prima facie evidence that he's one of the guys being talked about as "inconsistent" I don't know what is... You don't have to control all 60 minutes - you need to play all 60 minutes... Or how about just the 16 or so that you're out there, eh? Edited April 5, 2021 by radoran 4 Quote

He just needs to shut up. Media shouldn’t even ask him any questions if he is the one the team makes available for the post game presser. “Does anyone have any questions for Jake?” and then silence. Wonder if he, the PR staff and Fletcher would get the hint that this guys needs to GTFOH ASAP! Quote

It was another "b-b-b-but we think we played well!" story... following a loss. Someone get this guy a participation trophy with a picture of the Stanley Cup on it. (It will not surprise you that many on teh Twitters "don't understand" why this is a Bad Thing for Voracek to say...) The reasons cliches are cliches is that they're generally rooted in the truth. You don't get credit for "playing hard" on one shift and so you can then take a shift or two off. That's what the cliche means. When you're on the ice, you need to do the best you can, every time. That's what the $8.25M is for. 3 Quote

radoran Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Looks like Darth Vladar in net if the little green check on my FHL roster is to be believed... Just gave up 3 goals on 22 shots agains the Pens... Rask still on IR and Halak went into COVID protocols. Edited April 5, 2021 by radoran Quote
Brewin Flames Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Vladar gets the start....Swayman will back him up... I'll be on/off during the game, i'll check in between periods to give my unbiased opinion. Quote

GratefulFlyers Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 yeah for sure....last thing the Flyers need is for Voracek / Giroux to have multiple-point games again, the way they did on Saturday. Those 2 are just killing the Flyers...killing them I tells ya. Quote

mkscrewy Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 the real questions are how quickly will Pastrnak score his first goal and how many hat tricks will he get? 1 Quote
