It's really too bad that there isn't an emoticon for drinking so much that you fall over and then start crying uncontrollably...

Sure am!

I am not going to give up after 7 games.

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Update from Tim P.:

Holmgren says Simmonds OUT because of "head and neck injuries." Whiplash for certain. I still wonder about a concussion. Re-evaluated SUN

[CNote]

The start of a home stand...time to roll off some wins!

GO FLYERS GO!!

[kimmofan44]

this season I feel like the team should issue a safe word like "pineapple" that we can use when the pain has become too much to tolerate that being said go flyers! I enter this game optimistic like I do every game.

[RussianRocket10]

Score 3 or more goals and give up 2 or less please.

[kimmofan44]

what is the status on the erskin hearing today??

[ramp23]

Caniac coming in peace!
You guys should be feeling good about your chances tonight. Looks like you'll get Ward in goal and he has given up 15 goals in 10 periods so far! Ellis, on the other hand, has given up 2 in 8 periods.
Anyway, hope we have an exciting game and no one gets injured.

It was originally scheduled for 2:00 p.m. but was delayed due to a conflict of some of the representatives. It supposedly began at 4:30 p.m.

We have stopped feeling good about our chances, because some dread power in the universe has developed a dislike for us. Not that I'm superstitious or anything.

Staals vs Schenns

Kinda feeling it for Lavy, tough to get some chemistry going with having to juggle folks around due to injuries, suspension, etc. Last night having 2 forwards leaving the game and having to switch things around certainly is not helping with our chemistry or lack thereof.......I am still waiting for someone to step up and either make a big play or hit etc to try and get some juice going.....Maybe sestito can be that guy tonight.

I think thats a great move.......He is one of the few players who has shown some jump.....Kinda like Read showed last year.

You know things aren't going right when your 22 year old rookie is on the top right.

Oh well - let's squeeze out a win here and work off of that, boys.

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Refs tonight: Ghislain Hebert and Kevin Pollock.

[kimmofan44]

anybody feeling like erskin isn't getting a suspension just as an extra **** you to the orange and black? BTW they just showed the standings on the pregame and it still sucks to see us AT THE BOTTOM.

Zero chance. I will be shocked if not 3 or more.

[RoDu]

It would be a moral victory to not be booed off the ice

If there is no suspension, the NHL will be in for a PR nightmare. Overwhelming consensus last night was not if but how many games.

something has to change. so they might aswell start with the guy who's coaching the system.

[MiamiScreamingEagles]
