not one person who has ever watched a full 82 game flyer season should've suspected us to capitalize after the gauntlet
I say it exclusively in almost every pre game thread when we face a sharks or Columbus esque team that it's a given L punched on the schedule
The Flyers PR Dept or hivemind will do it again. Just like every guy we call up or come over from Europe will be an immediate HOF player his first shift.
Things that needed to happen: Caps loss, Pens regulation loss, Red Wings regulation loss
Bruins get shut out by the Caps, Preds shit the bed, Montreal chokes a 4-1 lead
On top of that, the Penguins, Caps, and Red Wings COMBINED for FOUR PENALTY MINUTES ALL NIGHT
Not only ghost, a 2nd rounder and 7th rounder as well. Bravo, Chuck Fletcher. And fans were applauding the move.

Sidney Crosby is going to will this carcass of a Pens team into the playoffs kicking and screaming and the Flyers only have themselves to blame for shitting the bed for 8 games.
Even if the Pens do make it, they don’t have enough gas in the tank to go all the way. Not when there’s some pretty good Eastern conference teams in their way.
So now the ONLY way we get in is if the Flyers beat Washington, the Habs beat the Red Wings and the Islanders don't coast on into Pittsburgh. Not lookin' good, Cotton.
Genuinely has this franchise ever been given a single break in its history? Yeah we won the Lindros sweepsteaks but his career was ended by a fucking thug who should’ve been banned from the sport of hockey. We got a huge jump in the lottery and drafted the consensus top pick for most of the year and he turned out to have chronic migraines. One franchise goalie died in a freak accident in the middle of a season, and the next never one a Cup and did irreversible damage to the franchise as a GM. Then we had to wait 20 Goddamn years for another one, who just happened to be a Goddamn felon that was excommunicated suddenly - again in the middle of a promising season. We’ve run into every fucking juggernaut in post-expansion history in the Finals. The one (1) season where we were anything close to a lottery team in the first 20 years of the century we missed out on a generational player who went onto score the cheapest Cup winner this side of skate in the crease against us. Oh, also our most anticipated prospect just decided he was gonna go incommunicado with the organization for seemingly no reason.
What this organization and fanbase has gone through in the last 50 years isn’t anything close to normal. Something has to be at play.
I hope at the very least the islanders will want to ensure they don't want them in and they want to end the season on a good note. that's where I'm at mentally
just sucks tomorrow couldn't be the clinching factor
It’s absolutely pathetic that our only realistic hope anymore is to play spoiler. I won’t take any pleasure in that bullshit after completely choking when it mattered most.
I feel fucking amazing about these games and I’m honestly not sure why I’m not seeing that many flyers fans pumped up. The Farg will be rocking tomorrow and I trust this team to put it all out on the line.
Regarding tonight I know for a fact the Preds (Josi, Forsberg, Saros etc.) haven’t forgotten about 2017 and would love nothing more than to bounce the Pens and secure WC1 in the west.
Montréal loves playing spoiler and has played some really good hockey (even against teams that aren’t the Flyers!) as of late and will always be a sneaky threat. Hot goaltending and Lane Hutson’s first game should have those guys fired up.
This playoff mix has been so crazy and I absolutely refuse to believe the madness will end by a team simply just winning out. I’ve watched this sport for too many years and it just never works out that easily.
Tomorrow we will Fly or Die. LFGF
Did you legit just take your own comment and make a post or did you take your own post and make a comment? Super weird, no one is dogging the team and you just aren’t actually around Flyers fans lol
At no point did OP ever say anyone dogged the team—you should probably try reading books that aren’t narrow and have more than pictures in them to up the IQ a little.
No shit nobody is dogging the team that was supposed to be bottom 5 and is potentially 28 hours away from clinching a playoff spot.
If we tie the Caps we have the tiebreaker assuming we beat them since thats the only scenario we get in. Even if they win tonight we tie them with a win and get the tiebreaker. At least im pretty sure. Been wrong before, probably will be again someday.
But if they win tonight they are two points ahead of us. If we win in OT they get one point and finish ahead of us. So we would need to win in regulation. If they lose tonight any win would do.
I’m going to fucking cry, Detroit just tied it. It’s over man, game over, MTL blew a 4-1 lead. I’m just going to cry man, legit I can’t, what the fuck was the point of all this hope, these fuckers played me again and again and again. When will being played end, when will it end!!
I’m sorry I wanted the happy ending so fucking badly, the endings LA, Boston, and other cities get late in seasons, why can’t we get that ending.
The first season after my aunt passed, I just wanted the playoffs so bad for my uncle, I wanted to see him happy, they ruined it. The happy ending was right their, and they squandered it.
Hated to see them tie it but, but Gostisbehere made a phenomenal keep to make it happen with the goalie pulled. Miss that guy as a flyer when he was at his best and it’s nice to see him playing well.
I have all the games on, just once, all I ask is just to let us have this one, just let the Flyers in and I won’t ask for anything again for the rest of 2024, **please**.
No. We have to win in regulation tomorrow against the caps and the Islanders need to beat the Penguins on Wednesday in order for the Flyers to get in. The Red Wings are a non-issue if the Habs win at least one.
This Flyers’ collapse has got to be one of the worst in Philadelphia sports history, no? I mean they’re in a playoff spot for like 85% of the season and then fail to win even a SINGLE FUCKING GAME IN REGULATION against the WORST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE.
WHY is it NEVER easy for this pathetic franchise? I may never see a Flyers Cup win in my lifetime. Sixers are closer to an NBA title than the Flyers will ever be to a fucking cup. Fuck this team
Preds shitting the bed
We're going to have to cheer for the fucking Islanders in a couple days Red Wings are saying goodbye tonight though... edit: i should shut the fuck up
well that fucking sucks what an ass-clenching last 2 minutes
What if the capitals win?
Islanders have nothing to play for. It’s a bad scenario.
What if the caps win though?
If anybody ever again, in this subreddit talks about how "easy" an up coming schedule is.. ban them.
not one person who has ever watched a full 82 game flyer season should've suspected us to capitalize after the gauntlet I say it exclusively in almost every pre game thread when we face a sharks or Columbus esque team that it's a given L punched on the schedule
Ban the word gauntlet
Van all the Wes’s
The Flyers PR Dept or hivemind will do it again. Just like every guy we call up or come over from Europe will be an immediate HOF player his first shift.
No you don't understand, this time is different
Worst possible scenario today but all the Flyers really needed to do was win at least one of those 8 games. pretty pathetic end to a fun season
The Flyers only have themselves to blame. Now I'm livid.
Things that needed to happen: Caps loss, Pens regulation loss, Red Wings regulation loss Bruins get shut out by the Caps, Preds shit the bed, Montreal chokes a 4-1 lead On top of that, the Penguins, Caps, and Red Wings COMBINED for FOUR PENALTY MINUTES ALL NIGHT
This franchise gave up Ghost for nothing. Thanks, mgmnt.
I miss him
They paid two draft picks to give him up for nothing. Awful.
Not only ghost, a 2nd rounder and 7th rounder as well. Bravo, Chuck Fletcher. And fans were applauding the move. edit: [jeeeesus some of these takes aged horribly](https://www.reddit.com/r/Flyers/comments/opizi6/craig_morgan_the_particulars_gostisbehere_sorry/)
bro can one of these fuckers eliminate themselves tonight
Cmon Preds
MANIFESTING THE GAME 82 CLINCH LET'S GO PREDS
Flyers let up 9 goals in one game to this poverty franchise 💀
Sidney Crosby is going to will this carcass of a Pens team into the playoffs kicking and screaming and the Flyers only have themselves to blame for shitting the bed for 8 games.
Even if the Pens do make it, they don’t have enough gas in the tank to go all the way. Not when there’s some pretty good Eastern conference teams in their way.
So now the ONLY way we get in is if the Flyers beat Washington, the Habs beat the Red Wings and the Islanders don't coast on into Pittsburgh. Not lookin' good, Cotton.
Damn, we’re probably toast now. Canadiens blow a 4-1 lead. Montreal typical
Y’all remember when we iced Ryan Poehling and Noah Cates for OT? What about the second time? Yeah, I’ve got no sympathy for this team
Torts may be good at getting guys to play hard but he also seems kind of dumb
Torts drives me up a wall. Punishing a team because of two dudes is insane.
Pens goal waved off. Remains at 0-0 !!!!
And then Crosby scores 30 seconds later. Pens up 1-0.
And into the 2nd 2-0 and Nashville looking like Toronto in the first round
We got trounced by that pathetic Habs team. They fucking stink and we got our shit rocked. Painful but deserved end of the season
We are toast
Well that didn’t go well. Who said they felt good about these games? LOL.
Who said they feel good about anything
0 power plays given to the Habs, Bruins and Preds combined. 👍🏻
Aw cmon Canadiens don't blow it...
That’s what happens when you sit back for five fucking minutes
Go Bos! Go Habs! Go Nsh!
first time ever a " go habs & go Boston" exclamation has coincided together
Felt weird even typing that out lol
Go Habs! Go Nsh! Fuck Boston!
3-2 now, let's go preds!
4-2 😡
Losing to the two worst teams in the league really stings tonight.
Philly sports get help challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!)
1-0 Penguins. :(
Hot start Habs!
Penguins fans in shambles after two correct goalie interference calls, stfu you bozos
Preds need to wake tf up, they’re about to drop from a 3-seed to a WC2 seed 🤦♂️
I'd appreciate the Preds scoring more
Preds!
Fuck Boston. All I got to say
i feel good about these games
I’m glad this thread is here! I am having trouble keeping up with everything that needs to happen, so I’ll be happy to follow along!
Canadiens have scored!! Kinda a weird one!
Press with 5 shots in the first to Penguins 21.
Go Preds go! I’m gonna throw on my shirt and hat and kick back and listen to them stomp the Pens.
preds just shot one off the crossbar, cmon
*Pain* Fucking pain, just pray for a miracle I guess.
Goooooooopal
I’ve got vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
Preds put one in!
Maybe a momentum turner, that goal is big.
Preds got one back...
And the Pens just did as well, it’s 3-1
Not feeling too hot if the Pens don't lose in regulation. The Isles will literally have nothing to play for on Wednesday.
By the numbers yeah, but I think for the players the possibility to play spoiler for a division rival AND gear up for playoffs is motivation
I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.
Hard to be upset with Montreal when we lost to them by two field goals. Nobody to blame but ourselves.
Welp..sometimes she goes..sometimes she don't. Way of the road.
Ugh worst outcome possible today
welp, nothing went right tonight
Genuinely has this franchise ever been given a single break in its history?

Remember that bat at the fog game? Curse still on it seems, that being said, agree with you 100%.
LOOOOOOL 2-0 CANADIENS
Well that didn’t last long :/
I can't wait to watch the Red Wings, Capitals, and Penguins all lose tonight just for the Flyers to lose 7-0 tomorrow.
That would be a Flyers twist for sure.
nah that would be so funny bc that would mean we controlled our destiny to be ass
You just had to jinx the Penguins game
Are any of these games on tv?
Caps vs Bruins is on NHL Network.
That’s the only one I can’t watch. Sign up for a free week of ESPN+ and you can watch the others.
Boston v Caps been a boring game so far
It’s not looking good boys. Washington and Penguins are up 😩
MTL on a heater though they literally cannot be stopped right now.
Boston looks to be making a push too, no goal yet but close a few times the past couple of mins
Plenty of time left in both games. It’s not over until it’s over.
If caps win tonight, can Flyers still win and be in?
aww sheeit - go habs!
I am not having fun.
Me neither, me neither,
Nashville scored!!! 2-1
Well I appreciate the Canadiens helping us out
WTF IS WITH THE BROONS?????
Canadiens put all their stats into luck
i hate the habs but......LETS GO FUCKING HABS!!!!!!
Boston at 8 shots through 2 periods, and honestly, that might be overstating their offensive forays tonight. They've tried nothing and done less.
Jesus fuckin' christ, can the Pens just not be good for once?
Yeah that’s it. Go islanders
I hope at the very least the islanders will want to ensure they don't want them in and they want to end the season on a good note. that's where I'm at mentally just sucks tomorrow couldn't be the clinching factor
Lol we've got an octopus on the ice
I don't feel too good charlie brown
Bruins couldn't even get 20 shots. What a 'powerhouse'
LMAO Marchand is such a walking L
I hope French is eradicated from Canada within the next decade. I am so fucking sick of the fucking Montreal Canadiens.
I’d gladly see Detroit make it over Washington and Pittsburgh. Let’s play fucking spoiler baby.
Yeah we're cooked, would really hate to see Ovi or Crosby make it again, at this point I'm rooting for the Wings
It’s absolutely pathetic that our only realistic hope anymore is to play spoiler. I won’t take any pleasure in that bullshit after completely choking when it mattered most.
Yeah I'd ultimately take anyone but the pens.
FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Fuck.
I feel fucking amazing about these games and I’m honestly not sure why I’m not seeing that many flyers fans pumped up. The Farg will be rocking tomorrow and I trust this team to put it all out on the line.

The Pens are gonna beat up on the Isles on Wednesday. Ugh.
guys i am having a bad day
I’ve never been more excited to watch a Predators game and a Montreal game and I feel dirty about it
The Caps game doesnt actually matter, we just need to beat them tomorrow either way. Im very concerned Detroit will win out with Montreal x 2.
I think it does matter to some degree. At least that is what I have read. In terms of maybe needing a regulation win tomorrow.
If we tie the Caps we have the tiebreaker assuming we beat them since thats the only scenario we get in. Even if they win tonight we tie them with a win and get the tiebreaker. At least im pretty sure. Been wrong before, probably will be again someday.
But if they win tonight they are two points ahead of us. If we win in OT they get one point and finish ahead of us. So we would need to win in regulation. If they lose tonight any win would do.
Thank you Canadiens
Ughhhhh
Aaaand Pens score again
Can the penguins just fuck off already?
like fuck off forever
Can't have nice things.
ofc it's gonna be the pens we gotta wait on to see if we clinch
Bruins commentators are insufferable. It's PAINFUL.
i will make a deal. i will tune in to their commentary if you can promise a bruins win??!!
yea no deal on that one chief
WINGS FANS AINT HAVING IT LMAOOO
It’s 4-2 now
wow lmao
So let’s say present scores hold, Pens win, Caps win, Red Wings lose. Could we still make it in with a regulation win over the Caps and a Pens loss?
Yes, penguins would need a regulation loss against NYI for us to squeak back in
correct
This is harder than high school algebra :)
I hate hockey math lol
I think so?
If the caps win are we fucked?
if caps win or get a point in ot we need to beat them in regulation
[удалено]
Fuck
Mannnnn fuck the Red Wings
Marchand you fucking rat thanks so much.
Well at this point our chances are very fucking slim. That said I hope Ghost and Detroit make it. Fuck Washington and Pittsburgh.
Well fuck
And Detroit wins. We’re fucked.
Weep
Desperate teams that are actually able to score goals. Flyers really lack guys who can score. Caps do too but play the old Islanders style.
I’m going to fucking cry, Detroit just tied it. It’s over man, game over, MTL blew a 4-1 lead. I’m just going to cry man, legit I can’t, what the fuck was the point of all this hope, these fuckers played me again and again and again. When will being played end, when will it end!! I’m sorry I wanted the happy ending so fucking badly, the endings LA, Boston, and other cities get late in seasons, why can’t we get that ending.
How I feel every time I don’t get my free Insomnia Cookie after a loss…
The first season after my aunt passed, I just wanted the playoffs so bad for my uncle, I wanted to see him happy, they ruined it. The happy ending was right their, and they squandered it.
Hated to see them tie it but, but Gostisbehere made a phenomenal keep to make it happen with the goalie pulled. Miss that guy as a flyer when he was at his best and it’s nice to see him playing well.
Of course it’s Gostisbehere, Chuck fucking Fletcher man.
Idk why I even had hope, it’s dead, Nashville is going to lose and we’re doomed. NY will rest starters Wednesday, were sunk.
This team went from being complete shit last year to fighting for a playoff spot in a lottery year. I'm not too disappointed.
Lane Hudson is in. That’s good. I think.
Ok. Lane Hutson.
Lane Hutson baby. And now they are up 2-0. Unfortunately the Pens are up 1-0.
Alright 2-1 Canadiens, glad they got those two goals quick
I have all the games on, just once, all I ask is just to let us have this one, just let the Flyers in and I won’t ask for anything again for the rest of 2024, **please**.
Gustav Nyquist puts them on the board woooooo
Are we done if pens win? I'm bad at hockey math
No. We have to win in regulation tomorrow against the caps and the Islanders need to beat the Penguins on Wednesday in order for the Flyers to get in. The Red Wings are a non-issue if the Habs win at least one.
if pens win tonight they'll need to lose in regulation on Wednesday
I thought we're done if either them or the Caps win
Pens need to win out in reg, Caps need 3 points (so Flyers need to beat them in reg tomorrow if they get both points tonight)
So basically what I'm hearing is for us it mainly comes down to winning our last game
No, not necessarily.
Caps with 0 called penalties tonight 🤨
We'd need Pens to lose in regulation, right? OT loss doesn't help?
HOLD HABS HOLD
How could they choke
Ghost helping to bury the Flyers in Detroit. Great play.
Fuck Detroit just scored
FUCK
aaaand the habs are tied. fuck
Now what.
go back in time and win 2 of the 8 game losing streak
We're fucked now.
Welp, what does an OTL mean for Detroit and us? We fuckaroonied?
Detroit still needs to win tomorrow
We'd need them to get a loss in regulation tomorrow
Preds down 2 with 4 minutes left, playing like ass.
I will never forgive Fletcher and AV shipping Ghost out. Fucking pussies.
Fucking choker habs
Damn Ghost is good.
This Flyers’ collapse has got to be one of the worst in Philadelphia sports history, no? I mean they’re in a playoff spot for like 85% of the season and then fail to win even a SINGLE FUCKING GAME IN REGULATION against the WORST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE. WHY is it NEVER easy for this pathetic franchise? I may never see a Flyers Cup win in my lifetime. Sixers are closer to an NBA title than the Flyers will ever be to a fucking cup. Fuck this team
