first, i've never ever heard of this word "ennui". this annoys me. second, all i can suggest that might help you get fired up is watch some old amazing flyers clips like these to delude yourself into thinking something similar will happen tonight:

Dont show these, especially Gagne in OT. Next game ended in a loss....

How long did it take the Bruins to replace Thomas?
- PLindbergh31

rask was already there at the same time. if you recall, rask got the nod over thomas in the 2010 run. we all know how that ended. thomas then leads them to the cup in 2011. rask loses the cup in 2013.

so to answer you, zero seconds.

im assuming there is something nice buried in there

anyway, blame jagr.
- stayinthefnnet

nah, nothing buried. so by blaming jagr, i really should blame russ farwell.

yeah. that is a lottt of money. and the devils never struck me as having cash to burn.
- stayinthefnnet

Ryane Clowe at 4.85 for 4 more years. Zajac at 5.75 for 4 more years.

They should be burning it instead of giving it away.

I wish they were afforded the opportunity to give MacDonald 5.5

Nobody remember when Vinny wasn't injured and was leading this team in everything.
People will be pissed when it's announced Vinny has multiple injuries including a bad back.

I do remember, then I remember the next 45 games or so and the playoffs where he is a ghost and dumped on a 4th line from time to time..... Its hard to watch someone that is only 34 look so washed up. I was under the impression he had the talent to be effective until late 30's. He has the skill. Where did it go???

flyers beat the leafs in game 1 after beating the devils in 5, so not true. yes, they lost game 1 after the leafs game 6 and of course game 7 after winning game 6 in ot....but none of this matters.

these are feel good moments from a great run, and this is the last flyers team i truly loved. all they have to do is get through tonight. we can worry about the rest tomorrow.

My guess is that he has off-season back surgery and becomes even less useful like LeClair after his back surgery.

It's going to be great when the Hawks beat the Bruins again.

Ryane Clowe at 4.85 for 4 more years. Zajac at 5.75 for 4 more years.

that clowe one. my god. he sure became useless in a hurry

think the leafs fans enjoy watching mr. rask?
- hammarby31

Everything turned out fine. They're right where they love to be.

If Flyers lose tonight will Ed Snider clean house?
Berube is obviously getting out coached. Refusing to change lines that aren't working

If the Flyers lose tonight, Ed Snider will be banned for life.

Clowe + Clarkson played 103 games and had 37 points.

Vinny played 69 games and had 37 points.

I dont think anybody loses their job. Just another off-season of trying to get that #1 defender.

Yes, fire the coach who has been with the team for just barely a year, in his first playoff at the helm, who coached the team to the tune of .585 win%+ since he took over

What did Sterling say?

20 goals was'nt bad but the assists suck. He could surely use some better linemates IMO.

Ballgame over, Yankees win.. Theeeeee Yankees win.

This has to have been one of the worst playoff series in awhile. So boring.
