pls loose!

 

[deadhead]

Kraken are 9-7 in their last 16 games, and have 6 games left to the Flyers 4.
We're one point ahead of them, so they have a good opportunity to jump ahead.
So finish in the 3rd spot and end up with Nemec.

Um, you do realize that the team with the 3rd worst record has a less than 1 in 10 chance of actually picking 3rd, right?

odds to pick 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th/6th

3rd to last: 10.9/10.9/7.0/39.7/31.5/0
4th to last: 9.7/9.9/0/13.7/43.6/23.1

 

[Rebels57]

Can both teams lose?

 

[Cody Webster]

Hmm, only a 40 point difference between the two teams..is that good?

If it makes you feel better, the Panthers only have double our current points (118 to 59).

4th to last: 9.7/9.9/0/13.7/43.6/23.1

All depends on a later pick jumping ahead, pushing the 3rd pick to 4th. But same risk of the 4th being pushed to 5th.
So you're still better off finishing 3rd rather than 4th.

Never said they weren’t, just that the difference is far from huge

RIP Guy LaFleur… 70…youngster

Roo has never been happier i bet

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I'm not gonna say "Lets Go Pens". Sorry team. Don't have it in me.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Luckily I *should* be missing this one as I have tickets to both Bears games this weekend.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

4 more losses and I might have hope for this club...

 

[Play]

I have stopped capitalizing the flyers name until they reach the playoffs

 

[Hextallent63]

Roo has never been happier i bet

ive been watching the florida games, it looks like hes having a blast.

 

[PhillyWings]

Lets Go Pens

 

[macleish1974]

Hope the Flyers have a great game.....but not great enough to win.......sad

 

[renberg]

Just lose out this entire week. Wins mean nothing; losses get better draft selection status.

 

[RonHextall27]

A late season matchup against a historical rival.....crickets. Hopefully the arena is this quiet as well. Though we know the message isnt being received.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Because that’s how this organization is run, Sam.

Gotta get a good look at the kids like Jones, Thompson and Yandle.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Starters: Jones vs. Domingue

Non-IR scratches: Hart, Connauton, Brown, Seeler, York, Ristolainen, Atkinson.

Starters: Provorov-Attard -- Laughton-Hayes-Konecny

Referees: Chris Lee and Kevin Pollock

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Gotta get a good look at the kids like Jones, Thompson and Yandle.

Sandstrom was recalled due to "emergency conditions" which apparently is voided now that Hart is listed as the reserve (unless the NHL is listing it incorrectly) That could change for tomorrow's game.

Now updated by the NHL. Sandstrom is the reserve goalie listed.

There may be a stipulation how often a goalie can play under "emergency conditions" if another goalie is healthy.

Let’s hope the Pens shred him. He stinks. They better not bring him back.
