    Holy mother of bailed…. Does anyone actually want to make the playoffs?

  2. SplendaMan

    still in a spot as we all expected, the boys knew this was a throwaway game all along

  3. The_Mauldalorian

    Jonathan Quick is a god. Checkmate, atheists!!

  4. tobybells

    it’s just as maddening watching WSH and DET keep losing when we could have given ourselves a little breathing room by just getting a loser point vs teams like MTL or CHI.

    Watch NYI and PIT end up the two teams to take over the last 2 spots

  5. Snips_Tano

    Can squarely blame the season on Carter Hart.  Pretty damn hard to overcome losing your franchise goalie.

    Doesn’t help Coots, Atkinson, and Laughton all look cooked out there.

  6. how the fuck did all of that go our way EXCEPT us winning 

  7. RadioactiveSumo

    Does anyone in the east want this playoff spot?

  8. Flyers3117

    It’s gonna Come down to the final game against the caps isn’t it

  9. WhatTheFarabee

    Rangers & Hurricanes bail our asses out big time. Now win some fucking games

  10. This season makes me think I’m on drugs, wtf.

  11. FlyersLaForest

    Can we P L E A S E. BEAT THE FUCKIJG BLUEJAKCJEYS FIR FUCK SAHE ANDBGET A LITTLE BIT OF BREAJTH8JF ROOM

  12. MikeMacBlu

    My god in heaven NOBODY WANTS THE FINAL SPOT

  13. WhatTheFarabee

    Tomorrow’s agenda of delusion:

    1. Beat CBJ

    2.Pit loses to TB

    3.NYI lose to Nash

  14. You (me) really can’t be that upset by the Flyers collapse if you endorsed trading Walker at the deadline. Everything changed after we lost him and Seeler in early March.

  15. MikeMacBlu

    …the penguins are gonna steal the final spot aren’t they?

  16. WhatTheFarabee

    Can’t wait for Jonny Hockey to deliver his fuck you to the Flyers F/O for not bringing him home with a 3 point night to send us on a 7 game honker . Would be very Flyera

  17. Perryplat199

    So the Phillies jersey was finally reveled today and there was such a negative/toxic reaction compared to any of our jerseys this year. What’s the difference. Cause a lot of flyers jersey things this year easily had people extremely upset.

  18. Roll-Me-Through

    There should never be a time that a shot goes over that man’s shoulder and into the net. He needs to stand up, fix his angles, and speed up his post-to-post movement. I won’t write him off after his first game. In fact, I think Fed scores an ENG next season.

  19. Sad-Bench-8264

    This loss stung, mainly because they actually played the right way. Hard, pressed for a majority of the game, possessed the puck. I think this reinforces that the Flyers don’t really have a work ethic problem. They have a talent problem. There are no true game breaking finishers on this team – yet. Tippett, TK, Foerster. These are REALLY good players. These are not players that puts the fear of god into other defenses the same way other superstars do. Once those players are here, and the TKs, Tippetts, Foersters are 2nd line players, we’ll be in a great spot. Gotta pray Michkov comes over and pans out as advertised, and we luck out in a big trade or free agent in the next 1-2 years. It’s the only way.

  20. Phanatic76

    Lmao can’t believe Wings and Caps lost, what a shitshow

  21. qwopcircles

    I’m going to preface this by saying I’m proud of how hard these guys played tonight. They have the will and the drive. These dudes fucking care and I know they are just as pissed as we are about this loss. *That being said:*

     

    I’m over this shit man. I’m so tired of not finishing off these bad fucking teams. These guys don’t have it. I’m so sick of all the shots we put on goal to be easily read and making these mid-ass tendies look like fucking Vezina candidates. Fuck me sideways if we can’t get any goddamn net-front presence. I watched the end of Canes/Caps after our game was over and it was so refreshing to see a competent power play from the Canes to go up 3-2. Aho and Teravainen fucking slap. Also fuck the refs for missing that high stick on Farabee. Couldn’t buy a fucking penalty tonight. /rant

  22. Flipadelphia26

    Everyone here upset. It’s silly. “They don’t finish”. No shit. There’s a reason why they’ve stunk for the last decade. They don’t have talent. They didn’t acquire any talent in the offseason. Their prospects either haven’t developed or not that talented. What do you expect? The best you can expect is what we have seen for the most part this year. They play the right way, they play hard and they beat better teams that come into the building thinking it’s a night off.

    This season has been a success as far as what this roster has to offer. End of story.

  23. TwoForHawat

    If the playoffs started today, we would be on a pace for 88 points this season *and we would qualify for the playoffs.*

  24. So wait, we’re somehow in a spot right now? I’m so confused about this entirely.
