    Being a Philly sports fan really is something

    Not even sure why I watch sports sometimes lol

  2. Bowdennoah

    What happened???? I thought we were the 5th most improved team ???

  3. AssDotCom

    I admire anyone else who took time out of their Saturday to watch this game.

  4. Roll-Me-Through

    Danny Briere: we’ve got a long way to go

  5. Snips_Tano

    Gotta love the Capitals and Pens running up the score of games at the end as a big Fuck You

  6. Went from being a one goal loss to an absolute pile on. You hate to see it

  7. Sperginator79

    Gosh I hate crosbust but he looks so hot

  8. This is the first game I’ve watched in weeks. Probably not gonna tune in the rest of the season. See ya next year.

  9. FlyersTime

    The league rigged the Crosby draft to save the Penguins. It’s time for the league to rig the Bedard draft to save the Flyers.

  10. WooderFountain

    Briere willed those last few goals in. As a big Steve Miller Band fan, he knows you’ve got to go through hell before you get to heaven.

  11. DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

    Was on a flight from 3:30 and just landed. Normally I would be furious to miss a battle of PA but I was borderline ambivalent about it and after seeing the predictable score line downright happy to miss it.

    Save us, Daddy Danny.

  12. Schmosby0514

    Can everyone just please stop going and watching

  13. maskdfantom

    Looking at this loss it was hard to find players that the Flyers can build with. Sanheim looked really bad, yet he’s signed for EIGHT YEARS! Hayes looks really disinterested. York didn’t have his best game, Farabee and Frost get pushed off the puck so easily… It’s tough to find players outside of Tippett that really look like pieces. Even Hart looked really exasperated at the end. Going to be really tough moving forward.

  14. non_target_eh

    I don’t see how Torts keeps his job after this game. Demoralizing loss, sorry boys.

  15. Solertia

    A really tight game for 92% of it turned into a blowout in the last 5 minutes. This team always finds a way to be fucking miserable to watch.

  16. Evrytimeweslay

    Glad I missed it and I hate to say that but that’s where we are now

  17. DanTreview

    Losing is good, but not like this.

    …not like this… 😒😒😒

  18. What in the wide wide world of sports is a “Kieffer Bellows”?

    we have 1 of the first 64 picks in the draft

  21. ClearSights

    Just gotta say. Props to the Pens fans at the game. Everyone around me was very pleasant and friendly.

    They must feel sorry for us

  22. Dew_the_Gong

    Buckle in everyone, it’s going to be like this for the next 5 years.

  23. turtlemarsh8

    Kinda don’t care that it ended up a blowout. Got the needed loss and 7/8 of the game coulda gone either way. That the wheels came off the bus at the end? Meh. The Pens know how close they were to losing this one. I consider it a win win. Fuck the Pens.

  24. Plain_Dane

    Jesus we fucking suck. We’re just so linear in our play, single minded decision making and zero creativity on the ice. Despite Tippet (and subtly Cates as well, he is gifted AF) we’re just so talentless it’s actually unreal that this is our product that’s maxed on the cap.
