Ghost time

Coburn on crutches.. This is bad.

This is pretty much a must-win game. The forwards for the Devils average over 5 years older than our forwards. That's AVERAGE!! I'd be embarrassed if we lost to this team on home ice, especially while they no longer have Brodeur.

We can at least have some solace in the fact that the team we lost to last night will probably win the conference. Tonight is a different story.

Probably a little early for a must win.. And Schneider is probably better than brodeur at this point.

Would be nice to win though.

 

[awaz]

I'd classify this as not a good start.

Flyers started off strong and tailed off - they need to get back to their game in the second period

I say must-win because if we can't beat NJ in our building, we could easily be 0-10 by the end of October. It's a really tough stretch. Then we're dealing with a repeat of last season with no promise of getting out of the hole this time.

Schneider may be better than Brodeur altogether based on age alone, but Marty has owned us in our building and Cory has yet to even play us there. I'll take the unknown over a hall of famer (that has shut us out God knows how many times) any day of the week.

Fair enough. Given the 1st period and last night I admit I'm getting a little nervous.

Henrique makes it 2-0 Devils - come on Flyers, you have to get going

 

[Maverick426h]

Well, start the tank for McDavid threads.

With Coburn out long term and the way we're playing right now, this is fucking atrocious.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Start panicking

 

[Cobiemonster]

Jesus christ

 

[awaz]

Start panicking

 

[Cobiemonster]

Well, Luke Schenn and MDZ are both a -3

 

[Maverick426h]

That was the best power play I've seen yet, but no goal...lol

This 0-3 hole against NJ might as well be 0-10.

 

[Cobiemonster]

In the meantime, the Flyers getting another power play - can I get a power play goal?

 

[Cobiemonster]

G!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Wayne Train!!!!!!!!!

 

[Maverick426h]

And the reverse jinx works to perfection. Finally the team we know and love has shown up.

To erase an 0-3 lead against NJ that quickly is pretty ridiculous.

 

[awaz]

Cup or bust.
