Giroux has more points in 1 game than Tippett has in 3

How about Giroux sucks because he didn’t block any shots, lost more faceoffs than he won and got a measly 2 points on a juggernaut team. Then move on to trash Tippett.

What’s going on with Sean Monahan in Calgary? I know he’s on a pointless streak but they actually healthy scratched him. I’d kill for him here.

Watched part of the SJ game the other night and he was getting out worked. Maybe playing through an injury.

oh boy he'd fit right in here everyone loved making excuses for jeff carter when he was here

They need to stop winning. I turned the game on when it was 3-1 and the Blues instantly scored. I turned off the game. Maybe I should have stopped watching 3 months ago?

The daily RR bull sh&t .

Bad loss for the Blues, bad win for the Flyers. Not sure the Flyers get the point as to what they need to do between now and the end of the year, i.e. try hard, make the games interesting but ultimately lose as many of them as possible. Hopefully tonight Colorado will help the Flyers get back on track.

This surprises you?

KC - 9 minutes
Yandle - 11
Seeler - 13

No need to see Zamula at this point. Getting NHL experience is overrated.

Good to see Hodgson not take a penalty. Hope they play him the rest of the way.

JVR for him will happen in the summer....He has lost a few steps.

Maybe the EV metrics say overall Sanheim is a better defenseman than Risto, but check out the Blues first goal last night on the PP and watch Sanheim specifically. Then ask yourself especially when shorthanded, why are both Flyers defenseman in the same corner? Last night both players were a +3, but Risto had a better corsi and a better relative corsi.

I hope they keep winning. Losing games/tanking is gutless. Glad they had a good effort last night and beat a good team on the road while shorthanded.

Colorado is a -520 favorite tonight. That is the biggest favorite I've ever seen in an NHL game. -2.5 on the puckline. Unreal.

Well that changes everything.

Asking professionals to play hard but throw the game ? I guess this is todays ass9 topic.

Maybe all the cumulative data and watching the entire season point to one player being better but did you see this one play and check the stats after one game? Give it a break dude, it’s pathetic

Lol the Flyers don’t understand what they have to do for the rest of the season. Nobody tell him that players don’t give a rats a$$ about draft picks.

Wiped out years of stats in one game. Amazing.

You haven't figured out that JD is Rasmus Ristolainen at this point? Where you been?

And that MJL is actually Bill?

Comon man!

Dude, I'm trying to drive up the hits.

-1.5 on puckline for -164.

-448 money line.

I will take that as worth laying the wood on puck line.

Totally agree. I hate that people think a win is bad. Just stop already! This team needs to learn how to win and at least build on something heading into next season. They are going to lose most of their games most likely, but learn how to enjoy a win against a quality opponent on the road. Wow, there are some freakin whiners on here.

I wondered what the line would be on tonight's game with the Avs. The second of back to backs on the road against the Avs. what could go wrong?

JVR looked pissed when Farabee scored the empty netter. Phuckin pigeon!!!
