Flyers playoff push.

[ybnvs]

Who's ready to watch Lappy's patented penalty kill go against one of Caps, Pens or Tampa?

No matter who we play (if we make it), I hope special teams for either team aren't large a deciding factor for the winner of the series.

Flyers PP is 19th in the league and their PK is 27th. They rank 14th in the league in goals per game, at least.

Hold on to your butts! We are in for a bumpy ride.

Mrazek is costing himself a good contract. Any chance he had at one before the deadline is gone now

It seems to be a recurring theme with this goaltender graveyard, doesn't it? Poor bastards lol.

Found this article this morning I guess this would be a good place for it

Postmortem on the Flyers’ early March woes

I wrote an article the other day dissecting just what happened at the start of the month, why the Flyers hit a skid and then looked at what has to happen over the final stretch so it does not happen again.

Hope you can enjoy it!

Does anyone have a magic number for points we need to clinch a playoff berth?

Does anyone have a magic number for points we need to clinch a playoff berth?

Uh, Devils have 9 games left so they can earn 18 points and finish with a total of 100 points. The Flyers have 8 games left and can finish with 102 Points.

So... by my calculations the magic number of Points earned by Flyers/Points dropped by Devils is 15?

This could be completely wrong.

Ex) Flyers go 3-3-2 (94 Points) and the Devils go 5-3-1 (93 Points).

Regarding the Panthers, they have 11 Games left and can earn 22 points (81 Currently) for 103 points.

So... we'd be looking at 18 as the magic number for them?

Ex) Panthers go 9-2-0 (99 Points) and Flyers go 7-1-0 (100 Points)

Not taking into account the ROW tiebreaker.

tl;dr: I believe the Magic Number of the Devils is 15 and for the Panthers it's 18.

7 total of Phi wins and NJ regulation time losses.

Looking at the rest of the schedule,the lineup the Devils have to face looks rather more difficult than what the Flyers have to go through!
Mind you, this time of year,ANYTHING could happen. Teams resting players,scattered injury or too much pressure to exceed!
The Philadelphia Flyers getting into the playoff act is similar to what I had to endure waiting for my two kids to be born....Just sit and wait...listen to all of the bullshit...and ride it out until it happens!

Are the Flyers allowed to bring up talent from the minors for their playoffs....even if its just to 'soak up' the bench or press box experience?

Yes. They are called the Black Aces.

They always have black aces. But it will depend on how deep the Phantoms go.

Wrong thread, sorry

 

[Appleyard]

The Flyers quite frankly may as well be in after the last 3 games.

If they go 2-5-0 from here for 92 points they have basically guaranteed a spot.

For 92:

Blue Jackets: 1-5-1
Flyers: 2-5-0
Devils: 5-4-0
Florida: 5-4-1

And the Flyers have the ROW tiebreaker... 4 more than Devils, 2 more than Florida.

Wrong thread, sorry

Apology NOT accepted.


Anyway, I will be able to rest easy only if the Devils drop tonight and tomorrow in regulation.

It’s simple...let’s just win out for the rest of the season.

Fine by me. I'm almost glad the Jackets are so red hot. I think they won't sustain it through the playoffs. Hopefully they hit a lull right after they play the Pens and get ready to play us after a Flyers sweep of the Caps.

How many starts does Bob have?

Looks like he just hit 60.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Looks like he just hit 60.

Looks like he played three back to backs this year. I feel like mrazek has just as many in his short stint with flyers lol.
Also quick look at hockey reference and it seems he leads the league in minutes played. Great job protecting your backup in expansion draft if your starter is going to run out of steam come playoffs.

I'm not the biggest Big E fan on here, but that's awesome to see him connecting with us again, no doubt due in large part to that night we gave him.

 

[Flyerfan13]

It's sad that As much as I want to watch flyers playoff games I am not even looking forward to seeing hak do something dumb to lose a game and piss me off. U know it's going to happen and the best we can hope for is the team wins in spite of him

He is pretty involved with the alumni team also so that probably helps.

After last night's win, coupled with Florida's loss, I think they will make it.

In addition, I would be more than comfortable playing the Caps in the 1st. I think we match up well.
