[u/EastCoastTaffy]

THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK 🔥

[u/Lethal_Lunacy]

If the media has balls, they need to grill Tocc about how interesting it is that playing the real talent more leads to winning, and if his brain can comprehend it

[u/zekeser87 → u/Lethal_Lunacy]

Martone and Meech still played less than bunting and barkey lmao

[u/zzwthetvon]

Are we sure???.

[u/Streetkillz13]

I'm glad Tocchet got Zegras out there... when you are struggling an empty netter can set you right.

[u/lqloveclub]

vladar goalie goal? who says no?

[u/jdeputy]

It feels like there is a team of aliens that want to play hockey, and for whatever reason, one chose Foerster as their victim.

[u/CaffeineAndGrain → u/jdeputy]

You jinxed we coooked bruh

[u/PrizeLegitimate6967]

Vlad the Impaler has been a brick fuckin wall

[u/ArcanumAntares]

A Vladar goal here would be unreasonably hilarious.

[u/DMSpider51]

If Flyers lose this one it is all on coaching, they should not have turtles

[u/Clean_Candidate3400 → u/[deleted]]

/s?

[u/Limp_Bar6899]

We’re so Winning this shit

[u/Access-Flaky]

Mich and martone benched

[u/KittyCat22395 → u/Access-Flaky]

Infuriating

[u/TheIrishHangman]

That's such a bad penalty oh my god

[u/KittyCat22395]

I would like it to be known I'm wearing my Fourth Wing Flyers jersey for the first time this season. I didn't know it was the secret to success.

[u/Unlucky_Fee5712]

Ottowa is playing terrible tonight lol

[u/FlyersLaForest → u/Unlucky_Fee5712]

Fucking figures lol

[u/Perryplat199]

Let’s go flyairs

[u/Clean_Candidate3400]

gotta protect that lead = play my worst players, get stuck in the d zone, and give up a late goal

[u/KittyCat22395]

They always gotta say some jinx shit

[u/ChrisInBaltimore]

Personally I think you bench Foerster and put Bump in his spot. You can’t talk about accountability and let him keep playing.

[u/Limp_Bar6899 → u/ChrisInBaltimore]

You obviously don’t understand Tochey Hockey

[u/nitropuppy]

Can we fucking not?

[u/Micksar]

Mike Yeo spotting

[u/MyDadsAccnt]

Seeler and Dvorak really closing that five hole

[u/CybertronGuy98]

Idk how you watch Mich and Martone playing so well all game tonight and still don’t give them ice time in the third period.

[u/Thebeardedcenter]

I'm working nights this week so I have to watch the stream on the work pc but I needed to pop out to say this has honestly been one of the most entertaining GDTs I've ever followed. The shitposting, memes and general commentary has been S-tier. Truly Seasoned to perfection chef's kiss and I love you all. Fuck be to the Pens and Long JJ be with you Amen

[u/KittyCat22395]

The sticks behind him is so funny to me for some reason

[u/Worldpeacee007]

Foerster makes the same $$$ as Nick Suzuki, Jack Hughes and Clayton Keller by the way

[u/MyDadsAccnt → u/Worldpeacee007]

[u/duoet]

Shorty incoming

[u/Lethal_Lunacy]

Honestly, tyfo needs more minutes …

[u/THH77 → u/Lethal_Lunacy]

hes been maybe the worst of all the forwards aside from Cates. Just stupid penalties and he's not scoring, but completely missing the net

[u/duoet]

Bruv

[u/blimblam04]

Foerster... of course

[u/PhillyScumbag]

Since Foerster can't hit the net or even connect on one timers anymore, what is he actually good for?

[u/HaMerrIk → u/PhillyScumbag]

I asked this yesterday and got downvoted

[u/yourFPSfriend]

Tyson with another penalty in a 1 goal game. Can't wait to see him ent up with 17+ minutes tonight.

[u/MyDadsAccnt]

I don't think I've ever seen somebody air it out like a full 150 yards like that across the entire rink

[u/Thronedgorilla]

if you signed a contract this offseason and you aren't Vladar apparently you decided hockey isn't your thing anymore

[u/randomboi24 → u/Thronedgorilla]

So happy he still got it cause Goalies are so voodoo

[u/nau_sea]

WE CAN'T EVEN ESCAPE THE D ZONE WITH POSSESSION

FML

[u/ArcanumAntares]

Not ideal, whatchu doin', Tyson.

[u/lqloveclub]

c’mon man

[u/Ollie_ollie_drummer → u/lqloveclub]

like the worst possible time

[u/Sleepy_Fish1]

Impressive delay of game tbh

[u/SplendaMan]

those wrists still work

[u/thebeanburner]

What the fuck Tyson

[u/CaffeineAndGrain]

Tyson has been brutal man

[u/Dev54OO]

Bonk lol

[u/buzzmemello520]

Foerster has earned some grace but man is he having an awful season

[u/Streetkillz13 → u/buzzmemello520]

Has he? He hasn't been good since the Injury and is the 3rd highest paid forward on the team.

[u/buzzmemello520 → u/Streetkillz13]

His previous good seasons plus the injury plus the entire team being awful has earned him grace imo, but yeah it's probably about run out

[u/Streetkillz13 → u/buzzmemello520]

I mean... good is debatable. He's a career high 43 point player.

[u/UltimateGridster]

Foerster is a moron. Why did we extend this bum?

[u/i1398 → u/UltimateGridster]

lol don't know why you are getting downvoted. he is terrible

[u/TheAttickDweller]

Bonehead

[u/Streetkillz13]

Oh this asshole again.

[u/Clolarion]

Tyson dude what the actual fuck happened to you dude?

[u/ProfessorDerp22]

JJ is so disappointed

[u/No-Delivery6084]

God TyFo you suck this season

[u/Emergency_Ad_5745]

JJ is PISSED 😂

[u/Access-Flaky]

lol yikes now that’s a dumbass play

[u/imayimplode]

Ah beans

[u/str8ttup]

fuck

[u/MyDadsAccnt]

[u/Dakota360ci]

Flyera

[u/Blev088]

That was dumb, jeez.

[u/Bahstonljo]

I want to see a replay of whatever the fuck happened with that collision with Vladar.

[u/HaMerrIk]

Foerster is so infuriating 

[u/randomboi24]

What the fuck

[u/bigfootray06]

LGF fuck the 4th line do not send them again tonight.

[u/Sleepy_Fish1]

Please don't turtle and simply try to hang on for another 6 mins...

[u/UltimateGridster → u/Sleepy_Fish1]

As we punt it OB

[u/QuirkyIndication8928 → u/Sleepy_Fish1]

Pretty sure Taco inspired them to do that during intermission

[u/GimmickyBulb]

Pinto must have been mad there because he bet the under on icings.

[u/duoet → u/GimmickyBulb]

Pinto must have bean

[u/KittyCat22395]

Take a break JJ lol

[u/PrizeLegitimate6967]

Once again, they are playing not to lose 

[u/duoet]

Why’d they cut away just before the body slam😭😭

[u/FlyersLaForest]

Tocchet has 3 players to thank for saving his useless job tonight if we win. Michkov, Martone and Vladar

[u/EastCoastTaffy]

Jiricek with the cheeky nut tap after getting blasted 😂

[u/randomboi24]

It’s criminal not to replay the Vladar body slam

[u/Low_Poetry6270 → u/randomboi24]

I missed it 😭

[u/imayimplode → u/randomboi24]

I want it replaying in my dreams tonight

[u/ProfessorDerp22]

Marty and Mich one fight away from the Gordie.

[u/Blev088 → u/ProfessorDerp22]

Double Gordie would be fun, get them their first fights too.

[u/DontAbideMendacity → u/ProfessorDerp22]

Can they fight each other, does that count?

[u/badedum]

I continue to be stressed 

[u/Dakota360ci]

Benoit I swear to gritty if you do something stupid..

[u/goyabean]

GET THESE JACK OFF 4th LINERS OFF THE ICE

[u/squid_monk]

Crossface crippler time

[u/imayimplode]

Spicy.

[u/No-Delivery6084]

Atta boy Benoit

[u/Access-Flaky]

This is how every game should be refereed

[u/duoet]

I hope we get a slowmo replay on that
