GDT: Rangers at Flyers. It has come down to this.

Three games at hand on Columbus and Carolina, one point back. 3 games at hand on New Jersey, 6 points back.

Funny how we literally only have 1 more point than this time last season

Shhh, dont tell them its the same core as last year and 2016.

Thing is, is, that this is now the young guys team.

Not only that, the Schedule is near the same. Last Year we faced 14 Teams in the PO or PO Race. This Season are face only 11 Team in the PO Race.
So yes the team is nearly the same without Vanek, this Year CBJ get the 1 Way curse.
The small Advantage 3 Times against ottawa and 2 times against Montreal, no easy teams but nothing more to proof more to tank

Can we not infect this thread with garbo

Biggest pitfall remaining is the amount of games, read we play the last 13 games in 20 days so fatigue can be come an issues and a bad trend can spiral out of control.

I need Brokin to approve this message before I believe it.

Anyone sense the inevitable, annual unraveling. Like last season's last home stand where we "Crapped our pants" as Tallon so eloquently put it to the media. We have to play Boston 4 times (2x in BOS).

9 Road, 11 Home
8 Bona fide Playoff Teams (BOS 4x, NSH, TB, PHI, TOR)
3 Very Closely In The Hunt (NYI, CAR, CBJ)
9 Out of Playoffs by 5 or More (NYR, MON 2x, OTT 2x, BUF, EDM)

VS PHI
@ TB
VS MON
VS NYR
VS OTT
VS BOS
VS EDM
@ MON
@ OTT
@ CBJ
VS ARI
@ NYI
@ TOR
@ OTT
@ BOS
VS CAR
VS NSH
VS BOS
VS BUF
@ BOS

Strap in.

^ that's why it's one game at a time...

 

[GermanPanther]

If Philli play only half so good as they play against Tampa today our D get overrunned. 3:1 against Tampa the best Team in the Eastm i think that says anything.

How many points were we behind for a PO spot?

 

[Gentle Man]

We were in a playoff spot then they collapsed.

That wont happen this year.

We were? Why am I having a hard time remembering that...

I try to block out a lot of what happened last season. No good for the soul.

Yes we were, third in our division since the Metro was actually better last year (it was after the 5 game won roadtrip). Then we just completely collapsed.

I don't think we're going to crash down that hard this year, though we'll probably fall down to earth a little bit (still should make the playoffs though).

This PHI-TB game has been bananas.

This PHI-TB game has been bananas.

I just came to say!!

YES 6-5 TAMPA!!!!!

Vasy made a killer save to kick the 6th goal off

I'm wondering if we play Tampa 1st round, if it'll be a 8-7, 7-6 type game or the goalies will shine? Either way, Philly is getting worked and hopefully they're wore out tomorrow afternoon.
Most teams should dread having to come through Sunrise and Tampa now and for the next 5-6 years.

 

[CHGoalie27]

....and 6-6. Dammit.

There's very few teams that don't deserve a ton of respect, and you can't even sleep on those that don't.

I'm glad we are back to becoming a force again, that's for sure.

I've become a fan of all teams that look like locks at this point.

 

[Ghoste]

So we might get Lyon tomorrow?

Possibly. Mrazek has had a rough game but it is Tampa we're talking about.

At the end of the day on 3/3/17 the standing in the ATL Conf: MTL -80 pts, OTT -74 pts, BOS -72 pts.

Wild Card at the end of the day 3/3/17: TOR -71 pts, NYI - 70 pts.

Cats: 69 pts (63 games). - then the great collapse as we only get 12 more pts the rest of the way. Either due to Tom Rowe or Exhaustion. Pick your poison.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Flyers lose 7-6. 2nd of a b2b with their 4th string goalie tomorrow...

 

[Gentle Man]

We should be in a playoff spot by the end of the day tomorrow.

f*** em up Sharks!
