Pre-Game Talk: Rocky - Oilers v Flyers - Tuesday @ 8 PM

[MoontoScott]

I was saying that earlier too. These slow starts , relying on another huge win streak just isn’t practical. It’s not even that we are losing games, it’s how we are losing. Blown out and out scored 15-3. We will eventually get it going no doubt, but might be too late by the time we do if we keep this up.

Agreed and some of it was quite predictable.

A "hot" summer and a lot of great press clippings.

Who is the most prepared if a hurricane or tornado hits??
Exactly

Rocky always reminds me of the time that Bill Burr was doing a show in Philly and the crowd was booing a bunch, so he went out there, threw out his act and just shit on Philly for like 10 minutes.

"Rocky is your hero. The whole pride of your city is built around a guy that doesn't even exist. You built a statue for some 3 foot tall Italian, you stupid Philly cheese eating jackasses"

It's worth the watch on Youtube if you've got 12 minutes to kill.

Likely skipping this one and just PVRing it.

It’s all been downhill since the Bowman hire.

Oldest team in the league looks slow. Shocking.

As bad as the 0-3 start is it’s the 3-15 stat that should be worrying people. We aren’t competitive at all by the second half of the game. Even last night we were tied after 2 periods only to give up 3 unanswered goals in the third period. We aren’t a bit of puck luck or a good bounce from turning this around. We are getting destroyed by every team we play. I’d be satisfied with competing at this point. We aren’t going to start winning any games until that starts first.

 

[Mr Positive]

Another soft opponent? I'm afraid

Agreed well said
