Was thinking the same. Figured watching this team play was the perfect opportunity to ride the ol' horse for the first time, if you know what I'm sayin', but I was disappointed to learn the local liquor store doesn't carry any dog food.

A few of us have needed something stronger, so we've switched to bleach. It has a slight burn at first, but you get used to it. Really deadens you to the reality of what you're watching.

I can see it already. Gameplan: 1. flip puck out of defensive zone 2. if we somehow get possession of the puck, immediately dump it into the offensive zone with no speed 3. islanders have easy breakout OR we catch a lucky bounce, get the puck, and decide the best chance to score is by taking a near 0% wrister from the board hashmarks.

I really hope the combination of work and a Flyers game doesn’t make spontaneously combust.

Don't say that. I am sitting in the dentist's chair at this very moment. If you don't see a post from me for the rest of the day, issue an Amber Alert.

EDIT: I was quoting Cap'n Dave's "They are good roofiers. Dentists are supercreeps." darn it; they are blocking my quoting!

hi guys, caps fan here, quick question: who the **** is nicolas aube-kubel and why he spent almost as much time on ice as claude f***** giroux in game 1 vs isles?

e: i can see G is playing like 15-16 minutes per game. why?

 

[kudymen]

I might be watching but I seriously hope the display will not be as ugly as the strawmenning championship I'm watching here lately

 

[Domino666]

I’ll be on my way home for the first and second periods, hopefully Coots shows up ready to play

Solid depth winger. Who ever knows what's going on in coaches' heads.

Our fearless leader, Alain Vigneault, has decided that Giroux is a third line player who should play with the likes of Derek Grant in order to get the most out of him. NAK is a decent depth winger who brings some energy.

See "our fearless leader" for any questions regarding ice time. For some unknown reason, AV has decided to play our bottom six more in the playoffs than they did during the regular season. It's madness.

 

[flyersnorth]

Just find your damn mojo, Flyers.

G will score in the opening 5 minutes.

 

[TCTC]

Giroux played one shift on the 3rd line.

av holding this team back? how many coaches has this team been though because of this core not showing nothing? 4? i get that you want a cup, i want a cup but realistically this core hasnt gotten this team anywhere, if they were winning cups in the last 8 years, im not going to say anything bad about them but the fact is it's not happening. you got blind love for this core despite the fact they havent shown nothing like you just want to keep blaming the coaches. like seriously we can have a god like coach on this team and this core will play like utter trash.

berube won a championship with st.louis, lavy took nashville to finals, but they are bad coaches and this core is fantastic despite the fact of not making the playoffs, couldnt get out the first round in 8 years which that is embarassing. so tell me how is this core is best in the world despite the fact the coaches had better success with other teams?

Do you think playing the worst player in the playoffs nearly as much at ES as your good players helps the team win, or would you say that holds the team back?

Would you say mismanaging the PP all year helps the team win, or holds them back?

Would you say shifting from a style that brought success all year to one that struggles helps the team win, or holds them back?

f***ing get going. WTFH.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant!

Giroux is 32, his highest value is on the PP, so it makes sense to reduce his ES minutes and increase those of someone like NAK who is a whirling dervish who can wear down opponents.

Same way people want Provorov off the PP and more time at ES.

You guys ever notice how "Laughton" is only two letters different than "Leighton"?

Don't forget, "Islanders notice gaps between D and F and play to exploit that"

I’m honestly starting to think that AV hired Therrien so that he could look smart in comparison.

Again, he hired Michel Therrien. That tells me all I need to know about AV.
