Fuck the pens always and forever
Things I need to see:
Flyers continuing to lose games the remainder of the season
Frost scoring 20 goals
TK scoring 30 goals
No devastating injuries
35-34-13 is still on the table
Almost scared me thinking it was gonna go to OT once again
Close game. Fluke goal and no-goal call make the difference. I’ll take the loss for what it’s worth in the long run and keep looking for good goals for now
Congratulations Letang on 1000 games played. Good L for us for the draft lottery.
TANK UPDATE:
Flyers lose. Jackets win. Blues get a point. Wings up 3-1. Ducks up 2-0. Canucks tied 1-1.
Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Really looking for the Habs and Yotes to bank points though.
I’m still amazed Friedman wasn’t called for embellishment but York was earlier lol
I was really hoping Crosby would have beat the record for all-time points leader against the Flyers today…. Only 1 point away.
Always next year
Let this, a loss to the hated Penguins, be the loss that puts us exactly in the position to draw the right numbers to win the draft lottery for future Flyer Connor Bedard.
If the hockey gods know what is good for them, they’ll make it happen. If they don’t, I strongly advise the hockey gods not to get caught on the streets of Philly anytime soon.
Flyers lost and Phantoms won so pretty good overall. Especially big for the Phantoms since it was the top team outside a playoff spot so it was like 4 points.
Their magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 6 with 5 games remaining.
