It’s literally taken me YEARS to get under 200 lbs, but I’m finally there. I gave up all sugar, all carbs, all happiness

@spittyspitts @jay_caufield16 I do love the rivalry. Teams and fans genuinely don’t like each other lol Hockey needs more of this again

@TonyFan1420 @jay_caufield16 The series certainly would be different if pens pp was any good in this series. But whenever Philly tries to get under skin to change the course the pens have bitten. The whole rust fight is evidence of it (though still not sure how it just want all offsetting but whatever lol)

The Pens got the early lead on their 1st power play goal of the series but couldn’t hold it The Rust-Konecny battle changed the fortunes for both teams. Giving the Flyers the PP out of the scrum was a joke, 6 guys in the box was a joke, & the Crosby embellishment call was a joke

@spittyspitts @jay_caufield16 Pens typically don’t back down from the Flyers. But, it’s usually the Flyers who get more rattled. And it’s the Pens who typically capitalize more on power-play chances.

@TonyFan1420 @jay_caufield16 We will have to disagree. But either way it’s all a moot point. Philly always plays this way (close to the edge) and the pens always without fail, bite, and play into it. For whatever reason pens just can’t play without acting a fool against Philly

@spittyspitts @jay_caufield16 I disagree, did not look to be clearly on purpose

@TonyFan1420 @jay_caufield16 Embellishment should be called in heat of game. Dude clearly hit Sid in the face on purpose as it was avoidable. Its just pit stirring so the flyers should not get the benefit of that

@jay_caufield16 Also, I can’t see you throwing yourself to the ice from an accidental high stick during a break in play. I understand why Sid embellished that - trying to draw a penalty. But, as an old school hockey guy I don’t like it.

@TonyFan1420 I get it - what’s the bad take ?

@jay_caufield16 Thanks for the reply. I feel like the Pens have got the benefit of a lot of calls, or non calls, this series. To land on the refs helping the Flyers isn’t accurate, in my opinion. Bottom line is that Vladar has been better than Skinner.

@JRown32 If we are going to stereotype entire fan bases, then Pittsburgh fans are all whiners.

@TonyFan1420 No, I pretty much always expect Philadelphia fans to behave like low IQ Neanderthals.

How dare Sidney Crosby for reacting when being smacked in the friggin' face with a hockey stick. What a joke of a call that is.

@Martiangunner @TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex You’re going back 4 years but I hear what you’re saying

@TonyFan1420 @TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex The broken orbital!!!! Any true sixers fan knows yes he's injury prone but he does play through injuries... Missed 2 games broken orbital played through bells palsy....

What is the most likely timetable for Joel Embiid to return against the Celtics? I see nothing definitive

@sixers @975TheFanatic @celtics @Ticketmaster @Toyota I’m headed back to sleep for the second half

@omgsidewalks I “ran away” as a young kid and as I left I heard my dad say “be home by dinner”. I walked to my aunt’s house and stayed there all day, told her not to tell my parents I was there. I came home by dinner.

Did parents really just let their kids wander the neighbourhood all day with no phone and just say be home before dark?? Be honest.

@crosbyterian @Steelcitygirl6 Pens players and fans criticize the Flyers for being dirty but this is “tough playoff hockey” from Sid.

"sid lays down the lumber on couturier's lower back" #whatdatmean

@TheRealMaxx99 @BOBTPHLY444 @mccrystal_alex Agreed. I definitely have Embiid fatigue. Makes me negative.

@TonyFan1420 @BOBTPHLY444 @mccrystal_alex I don’t think we will see him either to be honest. Maybe if there’s a game 7 but idk. I’m tired of the injuries personally with him even though most aren’t even his fault.

@BOBTPHLY444 @TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex Let’s see how this plays out. My opinion is we won’t see him this series. I respect your positivity about him and your optimism.

@TonyFan1420 @TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex That’s a long way to say I’m wrong

@BOBTPHLY444 @TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex He’s missed games every playoff year. I’ll give you that at times during the playoffs he came back earlier than I expected. We’ll see this year. I just feel as tho he won’t come back unless he feels as though he can play 30 minutes and score 30 points. He’s all about his stats.

@TonyFan1420 @TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex Every single playoff except the bubble

@TheRealMaxx99 @mccrystal_alex When did he come back early from an injury? Give me examples

@TonyFan1420 @mccrystal_alex That statement isn’t true ^ rage baiter

@mastermind2913 @mccrystal_alex Embiid is definitely injury prone, but I would not call him a joke

@TonyFan1420 @mccrystal_alex Is this a joke...?

@KennD75 @OnPattison @TimKellySports Thomson is the James Franklin of MLB, great regular season but can’t win big games. Everyone saw how that ended at Penn State, Phillies organization should have known better.

@TonyFan1420 @OnPattison @TimKellySports I felt the same way but was willing to give him another crack then was 100% done after the Mets loss. Not sure whats so great about him that he keeps the job. A few more losses and even John Middleton won’t be able to avoid it.
