For as negative and discouraged I am feeling since last night, it is amazing how close we still are. Hopefully we can really around the cause and get a win against Pittsburgh tomorrow.

Giroux.

Considering how clearly banged up G and Jake are...I am going to go with....Schenn

I'm taking Raffl. I need to get on the scoresheet.

<- That guy for my goal prediction.

I hate to be in a position where we NEED to win, but we kind of need to get 2 even if a regulation loss keeps us alive (i.e., at least one of the Bruins and Wings don't get points). I don't like leaving it to the last game of the season, especially when wins have dried up recently.

Unfortunately, the Pens are playing like a team possessed. Here's hoping the Flyers show them what a real Ghost can do.

I think you guys will win this one, we're likely to play just to not get hurt. Bet we'll even start Jeff Zatkoff in net. I could see Wayne Simmonda having a big game today.

 

[Maverick426h]

What's important is that we control our own destiny. Win two games and we make the playoffs, no matter what else happens. That's a very motivating fact.

Our fourth line definitely wants this, so I'll take one of our hardest working, most effective players.

Ryan White.

 

[Vadered]

A win in any way gets us in.

Let's go Flyers!

 

[wbon22]

The Red Wings Loose, The Bruins are 3 minutes from loosing BIG.

It's there for the taking boys!!

 

[Maverick426h]

Yes. BOTH Detroit and Boston lose this afternoon. All we need to do is get two points out of these last two games. I would just aim for a win...Lol

This is everything we could've hoped for. Pittsburgh can't ruin our season either because we'll still be able to beat the Isles tomorrow night. We've spanked the Isles at times this season. That's a team we know we can beat.

I hope the Flyers now catch a special dispensation of play-off excitement, come out of their trance, and realize they can kick the crap out of the Pens and take their earned right in the play-offs by learning how to win tonight!

 

[wbon22]

I really really really hope that the boys come out fast and hard. Score early (cause they came out fast and hard on the Leafs and didn't score) and keep rolling. Get this win and the Flyers are not only in, but they can rest players tomorrow.

 

[Gooch1034]

No Crosby or Letang today. Boston has put it in the Flyers hands. Philly has been to good lately to not make it over Boston. It will be well deserved if/when they get these 2 points.

 

[wbon22]

I really don't like games that start with this kind of herky jerky action.
Too many whistles.

 

[wbon22]

Keep building and building...can't let not getting a goal slow them down

 

[wbon22]

ahem...
FUCK

 

[wbon22]

Get that back!
