Litterally noone would disagree with most of what you just said, but that post is one seriously crappy way to celebrate the team finally grinding out a victory and snapping a terrible losing streak.
Ill celebrate some consecutive convincing wins.
The win today is nothing to celebrate and was a miracle to say the least. The team showed zero urgency until 2 mins left...kind of like they've done all year long.
Rittich looks good. That is all.

Yeah, sure. But this win counts as much as any other win, and if we somehow end up making the playoffs, or a divisional spot, or even claim the division by a point at the end of the year, this win will prove to be a difference maker. But you don’t seem to think that snapping a losing streak is a good thing, so I suppose I'll rest my case.

The positive is once they went down late in the third they battled back. To me that shows they haven't given up. After losing 6 it could have been real easy to throw in the towel.

Flames had no business winning that game. Lucky to get any points. Hard to believe the players take any positives from that game. That was horrible to watch, especially from a team that you might consider desperate.
Johnny and Mony need a demotion or to sit in the press box. Top line should be Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane.

This team desperately needed a couple of lucky bounces and they got them this game. lets hope it's a start of something bigger.

Snapping a losing streak is good. Just didn't see anything to be optimistic about.
I thought they had a very solid 3rd period after a horrific 2nd. It would have been easy to pack it in after the 2nd but they actually had some pushback. That has to count for something.

1pm start, guess I better start drinking now.

Ah classic 11am start time. This is Flyers hockey

This is such a stupid ****ing time to start a hockey game. Happy for @kudymen and our other Europeans, though.

Said it awhile back, AV seems to be seeing what the team can do without Ghost.
Could very well be a mandate from Fletch also.
A trade would not suprise me at this point
Quote:
Ghost has not been playing great, but Ghosts absolute worst >>>>>> Hogg’s best.
Horrible decision if he’s healthy, and if he is, you have to wonder what his future is. This is beyond stupid now.
Quote:
wow...just saw.
Dumb dumb
Quote:
Hagg over Ghost? Seriously? I love how Braun routinely ****s up but always gets a pass or even worse is rewarded with more ice time for his **** play. This is Hak levels of stupidity. It's going to be hilarious when we trade ghost for scraps and he goes back to being a 50+ point defenseman.
Quote:
Scratching Ghost for Hagg is just straight up clown ****.
**** off.
Quote:
It would be funny if the "hive" would be patting themselves on their backs for
calling up Frost
calling up Parable
putting G on the wing
putting Couts in a more offensive position
pushing Hägg down the lineup
...
as much as one guy pats himself for one damn scratch after calling him a goner for a year.
Quote:
First game in 2 some years that I won’t watch because of the stupid ****ing decision to play Hagg over Ghost. Idc that Ghost hasn’t been great.
Never dress a worse lineup to send a message especially with the way this team has played. Makes me mad and frustrated.
3 minutes in and Hagg and Braun have messed up once each.
Quote:
Hagg has never seen an opportunity for a hit he wouldn’t take, even when the option to play a loose puck is staring him in the face.

With Morgan Frost our there it’s fire v ice today.
Quote:
Frost reminds me a little of gaudreu tbh. Maybe it’s just his size and shiftiness.
Quote:
If Frost scores CHOP gets lots of donations. Rittich isn't letting Frost score. Rittich hates children.

Guys I really want Johnny Hockey on our team.
Quote:
Would love Johnny Hockey here. I don’t think they ever make a move in season with him but I’ve been surprised before.
Just need to come out and dominate. This is a team that is falling apart. Take it to them early. Jump on them to give them no confidence to try and steal a game.
Quote:
So when we kidnapping Johnny Hockey?

Gritty clearing prepping Johnny's kidnapping hence why we havent seen him

Philadelphia Flyers featuring Frost versus the Calgary Goons featuring Rinaldo and Lucic
Quote:
I’ll give $50 to CHOP if Frost scores a goal today but I’m stealing $100 from CHOP if Rinaldo scores against us.
Quote:
I'm scared of Hagg and Rinaldo hitting each other. The sheer HEAVINESS of such a collision could cause the very fabric of the universe to unravel.

ZAC RINALDO IS STILL ON AN NHL TEAM????
Quote:
Now the goon is harassing my boy Farabee, gtfo outta here Rinaldo

"Hagg's T H I C C presence will dissuade Rinaldo from being too dumb." - Some old dude probably

Nice job handling that beautiful pass from Farabee, Hagg, you ****ing moron.

Parable nice pass
to Hagg

Hagg is so bad it’s amazing
Quote:
Linesman hits better than Hagg.

Is Hagg ****ing serious off that Farabee pass?
Quote:
Hagg with 0 hockey sense so when he's fed the puck he gives himself not other option but to shoot

I wonder how that goes if they have someone in the corner who doesn't lose every single puck battle.

Hagg had nothing to do with that but he was on the ice so he's dead to me
Lindholm ties it up
Quote:
So ####ing lame. Why the #### didn't we pressure them at all? For ####s sake.
Quote:
Ugh - knew that was coming.
Quote:
Ugh… should have known. We haven’t been out of regulation in a game we were due
Quote:
Flames pulled their goalie.
Flyers reacted like the Flames were the first team to ever attempt the strategy.
Quote:
If someone would have cleared the porch Hart wouldn't have had to play so far to the right and would have actually had a chance to make a save there

The Philadelphia Overtimes

This ####in team

Flyers : better then girlfriends, because the Flyers will always #### you.

As I was literally typing a comment asking why the Flyers just can't calmly close out a game with a lead.
Quote:
Remember when I said it was only 1-0. Classic

we are going to lose this ****ing game...
Quote:
I hate this **** ****ing Calgary team
Quote:
We weren’t even close to touching that puck the whole time.
Zero pressure
Quote:
And Calgary with the Eiffel Tower sized finger for the Likbalz Moron Brigade.

Another blown lead, why not
Quote:
You could feel that coming, they were chasing the puck that entire sequence.

No lead is safe.

It’s actually so weird not losing a game in OT within the first five seconds

I will never get the skate right in and shoot in a shootout

Is your team on a losing streak? Come play the Flyers for a guaranteed morale boost.

****ing awful

[Another stupid shootout.
Again
Quote:
****ing of course.
Quote:
God dammit they did it again.
Quote:
These ****ing eastern teams let us down time and time again. ****ing useless Philly and Washington
Quote:
Flyers with the most passive 5-on-6 in living memory, might as well just skate to the bench and change if you aren't going to challenge the puck carrier at all
Quote:
That shot goes wide and of course takes the perfect bounce off the boards and to the other side. It's to be expected with the Flames in the final 2 minutes of the 3rd
Quote:
Of course Flyers with no finish in ot just like the Caps.
Quote:
It’s almost like the Flyers were trying to lose in the shootout.
1st attempt: No speed and weak floating wrister
2nd attempt: No speed and a weak slapper
3rd attempt: No speed and weak wrister
None of them tried to get Rittich moving side to side.
Quote:
What a horrible ****ing afternoon.
**** Washington and Philly. Honestly .

SERIOUSLY? After a win, that's all you have? JESUS!!!! Can't even get some positive energy.

This is the exact way this losing streak would end IMO; a gritty, ugly win where they do just enough to claw out a win. Anyone who thought these guys would Globe-Trotter a game to an easy win after the abysmal hockey they have been playing, THAT would have been a miracle. There was some relief and joy on that bench and all the guys on the ice with Rittich at the end.
Do they have work to do to improve their team game? Of course they do! Their game was not going to turn on a dime and they'd be flying out there. Do I want to see them get to that point? No doubt. Keep working hard and make your own luck out there boys. I'm damn happy they won. Build on this one.
Go Flames Go!
