    Well I never wanna watch hockey again after tonight… next game is Tuesday right?

  2. StubbornLeech07

    Played like shit time to regroup and beat the Sharks on Tuesday.

    Unfortunately I think Tippett will miss some time hopefully it’s not too much time.

  3. TheDuckyNinja

    Embarrassing losses still only count as one loss in the standings.

  4. _JosiahBartlet

    Tampa has such a not fun history with Philly sports teams lol

    At least we’ve always got 2008 over them. The Rays don’t deserve a WS.

  5. 420BlzItRocko

    Missed this game due to work.

    What the heck happened here?

  6. Other-Oil-5035

    hmmm coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool yep. Ah huh. Sure.

  7. Roll-Me-Through

    That was worse than I feared, even for being down 5 defensemen against the Lightning

  8. SethPutnam2

    I have looked into 14,000,605 futures, the flyers only beat the sharks Tuesday in one of them 

  9. Gunningham

    Best win of the season immediately followed by the worst loss of the season. To think I almost went to it. Glad I stayed home.

  10. Weirdheade1

    What you guys’ opinions on this loss (specifically Sam Ersson’s performance)? I think that Sam just had a bad night and he’ll be back 😎

  11. Apprehensive-Net7347

    As surprising as they’ve been this year, this game was a reminder that this is still a bad team that isn’t even ***close*** to contending for a cup yet.

    And they’re about to collapse and miss the last postseason spot to the Isles. Game against San Jose is a MUST WIN now.

  12. TwoForHawat

    Good reminder of how far we have to go. This team fights like hell, but is nowhere near being Cup competitive. Thankfully, we have Briere at the helm and he doesn’t seem to fall for overachievement in the standings.

  13. greggyd717

    In Tampa visiting family and to catch some spring training. Flyers in town was just a bonus so we figured why not? Splurged on good seats and boy did that game suck.

  14. Opening_Ad_5803

    Of all people to step up and respond our captain was very silent

  15. PanickAttackGaming

    I didn’t get to watch tonight. Was Torts right to be angry enough to get ejected? Was the officiating that bad?

  16. My bad I watched every game but went to see dune 2 tonight womt happen again guys.

  17. I watched some of the game and after what I watched I’m already tired of Erik Johnson, some of the worst passing decisions I saw him make. 

  18. Shawnalish

    Missed the game. Heard about Torts lol. Hathaway got two 10 minute misconducts?! Wtf?

  19. AloysiusDev

    Wes has become the new Tim Peel. Whenever I hear his name name i know the game is gonna be ruined.

  20. smokedgudas

    I didnt watch tonight so ill take the blame. So sorry guys.

    Can someone send some saucy clips of torts raging and getting ejected?

  21. Steinburger_

    People say Danny ain’t committed to the rebuild.

    Every time Atkinson, Deslauries, Johnson and Staal are in the ice like 95% of the time something bad is going to happen.

  22. SerbianSlayer

    Zamula must be the secret linchpin holding this team together

  23. Sharks fan coming in peace to express my love and appreciation for Torts. Refs are a joke in this league and they never cease to plunge to new depths of incompetence.

  24. Finally one injury/illness too many on defense and the wheels came off. Would take a miracle to make the playoffs now. Would hate to see this team fight so hard to prove the hockey world wrong and come up with nothing right at the end… will probably cost Tortarella the Jack Adams.

  25. BrinkOfFTP

    No games left against the islanders. Not any kind of silver lining to take away from that one.

  26. Hoo boy, am I glad I had a hot date for this one. Looks like Torts coiuldn’t bother to bear it either, with the ejection(though I’m gonna guess Wes McCauly was being an idiot)

  27. PM_ME_DIRTY_DANGLES

    Refs are bullshit. Especially Wes McCauley

    John Tortorella _gets_ us.

    Anyone who was expecting the Flyers to sweep Florida and Tampa Bay is kidding themselves.

    See yous jerks on Tuesday for my birthday game against the Sharks.
