[Redemption City]

The Flyers 3rd line looks better than our "1st".

[inkman]

By a lot. Shows you how far we have to go. At least a half dozen forwards.

[Norcal]

It's ridiculous what the refs let the Flyers get away with. Team full of punks, maybe John Scott will find a taker?

[darksabre]

Having a goaltender corps that is on the same level as a tarp goalie kinda balances things out though.

Healthy scratch ?

We have exactly zero players on the roster who could pick a corner on one of those things. I'll be glad to see the flyers goalies in net. At least that way there is a chance they score on themselves.

Ville Leino actually has no concept of tarp goalie. People have tried to explain it to him before, but apparently he just gets really confused. I mean, how can a goalie be a tarp?

[nfreeman]

Is Myers back?

[Miller30]

Is Myers back?

 

Two more games to go. This would of been his last game but because of the rescheduled game it's just his second of three.

I've never heard of a tarp goalie. Is that some sort of government bailout goalie?

 

We always just call it a shooter tutor.

This is his third of three. He missed Florida and Washington and was meant to miss Carolina, but the game got rescheduled.

I hate those tarps they dont make sense. Best place to shoot is the hips.

[nfreeman]

Thanks.

 

Separately: I hate the Flyers and I hope even Tank Nation wants to beat them real bad.

[Sabre Dance]

Friggin' Flyers.... :wallbash:

[Derrico]

Tank Nation could really use a loss tonight.

 

Edit - Hahahha, I posted this without first seeing nfreemans post.

[dEnnis the Menace]

This is just one of those teams I need them to beat. I have too many Flyer fans as friends, and the last thing I need to listen to is them boasting a win.

Shooter Tutor, Iron Curtain, whatever ya call it. I knew what he meant.

[nucci]

Most teams 3rd lines look better than our 1st. There's a reason we're last.

[IKnowPhysics]

It's a home game against a team we hate. Beat them.

 

Let the tanks roll on the road, especially against teams we don't care about.
