Sure buddy, sure. That's why you posted a few weeks ago that the Flyers were a physical team this year. And your Canadian colors showed up real strong when you talked about electing your President. And I wonder what the proud Manitoba boy is doing out in BC.

You are a hockey fan, undoubtedly. You know bits and pieces about lots of teams. But your posts about the Flyers are full of generalities. My guess is you are a fan of another team in hard times and this is a second account. In fact, your syntax reminds me of a Sabres fan who used to post here a while back. He used to listen to the Fan 590 too.

Anyway, I have said my piece, and like I said, I am speaking only for myself. I am not going to let some dude like you derail me on game day.

Yes...

Please do enjoy your
4-2 isles prediction game day!!!

Does anyone remember the series winning order of the 2008 Washington series, where Thoreson lost a Testicle and Lupul scored the Game 7 OT winner? I ask because, if memory serves, Lupul didn’t do much that series and ended as the series hero with his first goal. I’m looking at you Konecny.

What do you mean order? We got up 3 1 if I remember correctly. Ovechkin scores on a breakaway in game 6 in our barn and it went to 7. Lupul scores in ot. I seem to remember briere having a good series but don’t remember lupul other than that goal.

How can we forget? Iirc, they actually called a penalty on OT in game 7!

But that series was not as much of a mismatch as the first 4 games of this series were.

I’m sure barzal is a go although Trotz said it’s game time decision. I think coots is our but they’re not telling anyone to play games. Sadly. Gonna have to step up.

You do know that no matter what we think, feel, wear, or predict, it has absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the game, right?

- Scoob


That's what you say, but it's interesting that whenever this SMS character predicts the Flyers to win they always lose, and when he predicts them to lose they always win:

Why not be free to say what you think? I am 100% sure he's not hoping the Flyers lose.

(Even if it is nonsensical rantings.)

- Scoob

Of course everyone is free to make jackass statements...just don’t be surprised when someone calls you out on your jackassdom.

Again...what “fan” verbalizes to a fan message board that his team will lose...to a team that they have already beaten twice in the last week...at a time when it is do or die?

Answer: a loser

I believe in the hockey gods and bad karma but even I was beyond frustrated the last 3 games. It’s the ebb and flow up and down of playoffs and why it’s so great. Every game day I’m nervous as hell.

I doubt this happen, but it’s fun to imagine lol. Imagine if Couts is ruled out. Oskar takes the warmup skates like he has. And then announced Oskar is playing! That would sure fire up the boys. But again, doubt it happens.

Colorado won their second cup after losing forsberg to an appendectomy after the first round in the 2002 playoffs.

Pittsburgh won game 7 in detroit in 2009 with crosby injured on the bench.

This Flyers team with or without coots can win games 6 and 7. They are NOT the fcking 95 devils!!!

Last year this isles team WITH Tavares got swept in the 2nd round by the hurricanes.

Their defense is garbage!!!

No scott stevens...no
scott neidermayer last time i checked!!!

LET’S GO FLYERS !! !!!

I hope you’re right. Tavares was gone from the isles last year. They were a lot better without him.

Anyone hear anything about Coot? Farabee? I’m sure there are actually more banged up players to consider as well. Raffl back?

Whoever plays has to give 200%. Just win...inch by inch, shift after shift, one period to the next...one game. This game. Let’s go Flyers!

No bad vibes on game days.

I think they can. I’d feel better about it if coots could play. On Hart I trust.

Sorry...thanks for the correction.

Still...

2020 Isles not 1995 Devils.

Need to get quick entries and strike fast on their glacially slow moving D BEFORE their forwards get back to set up the 6 goalie alignment in front of their net.

Another Jacques lemaire innovation from the 2003 minnesota wild days that to this day is making a lot of hockey unwatchable.

Imo. What’s really hurting the Flyers is the lack of intereference calls as the forwards are trying to get on the isles d on dump ins. Arms bumps etc etc. I think it’s being ignored both ways but it’s hurting the flyers a lot. Not able to enter and forecheck with speed. A Muckkng grinding game hurt us. What I think they seem to be getting going is for t he d to take wrist shots a bit wide of the net which is the only avail lane. The last couple games the forwards at the net are anticipating this and getting the stick on the tips for goals. Coots, g and then laughts. Seems to be conscious play. Hope they continue.

If we can get a win tonight, we'll win game 7.

Should be a great game ... I'm feeling OT again.

We will know how the game is going to go in the first 5 minutes. Hart will have to make an incredible save to get the boys going. If he can do that, then we can win a low scoring(2 to 1 or maybe even 1 to 0)game. If Hart is remotely off, then the Flyers will be off the rest of the fall.

I read it as a lighthearted attempt at levity by making a prediction that serves as a "reverse jinx." Nothing to get too hung-up about over. Things could be a lot worse.

Truth!
It took me decades to learn that it does not matter on which tv, or in which room, or with whom I watch, the game will play out as if I don't even exist.
