WHOO HOO!

Delayed cheer, I was doing dinner prep.

Whoever picked Simmonds...you are on the board

 

[wbon22]

1 - 1 after 1.

Not the most even period for the Flyers. I love how Milbury zooms in on a back check and ignores the player whose stick is held....

Flyers have to pick it up in all three zones. Lay it on the line today and you can dress and ECHL team tomorrow.

How is it we are stuggling against the Pens JV team? Mason is the only decent player for us. Simmonds is having a decent game as well. Fucking disgusting display so far imo.

 

[mall3013]

Come on Flyers, play like you need this game.

 

[wbon22]

Not sure that I agree with Schenn being moved down and Jake moved up.
Schenn looks a little lost.

 

[mall3013]

Why didn't we get a PS on that Giroux play?

 

[wbon22]

SO, they don't call the clear cut Penalty shot and they start calling everything

 

[wbon22]

GOAL!!!!
Ghost gets it on net!!!

Simmonds second of the game

 

[Maverick426h]

We need more here. This is pretty simple. Come out and aggressively try to win this third period and we should clinch a spot via the win, then we can rest our top guys tomorrow. This is the task at hand. Don't let this linger.

 

[mall3013]

We cannot afford to sit on the lead. Play aggressive and win this shit.

 

[wbon22]

20 minutes of kick ass hockey and the Flyers are in

 

[wbon22]

HULLO...how abut winning the ozone face off when on the PP?

 

[Maverick426h]

This power play isn't good enough here. Read clearly hooked by Hagelin though while on the pp and no call. That was interesting.

 

[wbon22]

JEBUS CHRISTOF....if they can't even generate pressure on a 5 minute PP .....

 

[Maverick426h]

It is a fucking shame for sure to have a five minute power play and not score a single goal. With the players we're putting out there, we should've had two and put the game away.

 

[wbon22]

G and Jake both appear to be a full step "off" be it in skating or response time.
I swear that Matt Read has not been the same since that nasty ankle injury last year (that Berube had him playing through).
It is so encouraging that the team has made it to this point with all of the known issues we have.

 

[wbon22]

BANG!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen....that should do it

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Congrats Flyer fans

Congrats Flyer fans

Doobee...you are a class act. On to the playoffs for both teams from PA

well back to the dance flyer fans....I'm glad you're locked into that 8th spot too, just because I think that Wash-Phil series will be a fun one to watch (even though our ship is currently out and I'll miss at least half of the first round ). and frankly, I think the flyers match up well against the caps and will give them everything they can handle and more.

good luck to ya
