What do you think? It’s giving Taking Back Sunday and Yellowcard vibes with a dash of Midwest emo:

lyrics:

In Boston we said, “alright it got mixed into the schedule”
Let’s turn the page

somebody tell me what the fuck is the difference now

what’s the problem now?

I want to see people rip their fucking heart out of their fucking chest this period
and if you don’t, you’re probably not going to like your ice time

take your first shift, you’ll get it
earn the second one
i’m not putting up with it
it’s too much horse shit
it’s too much

don’t allow it…

d zone coverage?
soft down low
out to the point?
casual strides
we don’t want to block a shot
cause it hurts

one game Boston?
alright let’s move on
tonight, unacceptable
not gonna happen
we’re way better
than what we just showed
every guy in here knows it
and you should not accept it

you’ve got 20 minutes
you win a period
you win a game
we move on
but you need to dig in right now
every guy

enough is enough
start playing with some jam in here
let’s go!

Not bad, honestly. Low key one of the best Philadelphia sports clips of all time. It’s from the HBO documentary called 24/7: Flyers/Rangers – Road to the NHL Winter Classic. Last time the Flyers were truly a Cup contender, sadly.

“Scoring chances that period were 7 to 1 for the opposition. Do you know why that is, Hartsy? Because it’s about as a fucking casual as it gets.” Hilarious. I miss Peter Laviolette. And Torts, too. Both guys had great quotes. Tocc is kind of boring.

disclaimer: This is an A.I. shitpost. There’s nothing to write about the 3-0 loss in Tampa anyway. They’ve scored something like two goals in that barn going back three or four years now. We all should have seen that performance coming from a mile away.
