I saw that yesterday. So sad.

 

[sayo]

This is mesmerizing.

I love all the 5 hole tucks. So disrespectful.

Too bad you can't do that on nhl.

 

[kella]

Yeah I mean you can do it accidentally, or sometimes just trying to cheese low and it goes in. But it sucks that we'll never see super fine stick control because you need the left stick for ur legs and the right stick for ur arms. Really no way they can work independent wrist control into it.

Look at this fuckin' thing:

Look at this fuckin' thing:

Is that the Shrimp from the Muppets?

 

[silverwheels]

That is horrifying.

 

[goblue96]

Oh FFS.

This guy?

Sweetums!

Honestly, it looks like Grimace after a three week long bender

No this guy

 

[Irishman]

It's horrendous no matter which Muppet we're comparing to.

 

[kella]

It's like they put out a request for marketing firms and required they had proven experience in creating mascots for expansion teams in the 90s

 

[Rutgers Mike]

They should have just put the Phanatic in a Flyers jersey

 

[goblue96]

It worked for Youppi!

 

[Irishman]

Do you think this thing lasts the season? What are angry, drunk Philly fans going to throw at this thing first? I think they'll skip right past the D cells and go straight to the old-school lantern batteries. If the Flyers struggle early this season, he'll be hospitalized by Thanksgiving.

ILL

Using the new Flyers mascot as a drug mule? Shame on you Jori

Hurricanes to wear Whalers throwbacks for 2 games

 

[Irishman]

That's cool.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Just a precursor to the inevitable move back to Hartford

 

[kella]

Hartford is a dump. Seattle gonna steal the nickname.

Hartford is a dump. Seattle gonna steal the nickname.

I hope not. I’m quite partial to the idea of Seattle Billionaires

 

[silverwheels]

Seattle Bros

 

[Simo77]

Holy shit. 20 games. Not saying it's not warranted just surprised to see the league do more than their typical few games deal.

 

[goblue96]

Good Wheel of Justice!

 

[kella]

My how times change. Lindross got hit like that about a dozen times skating to the middle without protecting himself and we laughed at him.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Flyers picked up another shitty goalie off waivers, Calvin Pickard. that brings the total to 5 in the organization, but at least we have Carter Hart to give us hope.

 

[Irishman]

I don't think Pickard is that bad. I know people in Colorado that wish they still had him here. I think he's better than everyone except Elliott and maybe he won't be injured constantly like Stolarz, Neuvirth, Elliott, etc.

Maybe if it wasn't Wilson's 4th suspension since last season, he might not have gotten 20 games.

Has Wilson tried not playing like an asshole?

 

[Irishman]

I'm so sad Tom Wilson isn't part of this ridiculous banner raising spectacle.

 

[kella]

He's out there.

Anyone got the cbc intro video?

 

[Irishman]

Did he appeal the suspension or is he just dressed and not playing?

Also, lol Bruins. They're not eating ass, but they look like ass.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

He's not that bad, but he's just another on the musical chairs of Flyers goaltender over the last 33 years.

 

[Irishman]

Yep.
