Can/Will the flyers make the playoffs?

[Sawdalite]

Haha.

Nope... not that I know of anyway!

You got Hard Rock Cafes... How much better is that?

 

[StateOfHexcellence]

88.4%, small reduction since last nights games.

go to 92.7 with a Detroit loss in regulation, 89.1 with OT or SO loss by Detroit

 

[KrazyKat]

If Provorov or Sanheim get eliminated any chance we bring them over for the playoffs? Much like Calgary did with Bennet last year.


Schultz--Streit
Macdonald--Gostisbehere
Provorov/Sanheim--Gudas


Most people would say its a bad idea. But HONESTLY. Are you trying to tell me Provorov/Sanheim is more of a liability then Manning?

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

I would LOVE to see Provorov in the lineup, but its a lot to ask of him. He just had a long season plus WJC, and we have a pretty specific system he hasnt played at all in. Plus the playoffs are a different animal than anything Provorov has competed in. I think he COULD be effective, but I doubt they even test it

 

[Curufinwe]

They didn't play Ghost in 2014 so I doubt it.

 

[Striiker]

Not saying Provorov will play, but I think he's more NHL ready than Ghost was in 2014.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Id rather see Morin up. I still think his size could be a huge asset...especially against Washington. Our D is pretty small and soft outside of Gudas.

That said, Id welcome Provorov. #anyonebutmanning

 

[TCTC]

I would love to see one of Provorov or Morin in the lineup for the playoffs.
None of them could be worse than Manning and playing in the playoffs could be a valuable experience for them.

 

[Striiker]

Or both and tell Manning and Streit to **** off.

Provorov is almost certainly better than Streit, plus since Morin is a living human being he's better than Manning by default

 

[StateOfHexcellence]

I'd like to see Morin, time to get a checkup

 

[domestique]

Wouldn't bringing Provorov up burn a year of eligibility?


If you bring up anyone, bring up Morin.

 

[PhillyPhaithful]

If the Flyers make the playoffs and Provorov is out of them will he be a part of the "black aces". Forgive me for forgetting exactly how that system works we've been out of the playoff loop a bit.

Edit I'm an idiot and didn't read anything before this.

 

[Curufinwe]

Wouldn't bringing Provorov up burn a year of eligibility?

Only if he played 10 games.

 

[Sharppi]

Yes you can and the Wild will make everything we can tonight to win against Detroit. **** Detroit and **** Colorado.

Ok. I would much rather have him than Manning.

 

[flyersfan018]

I believe the Flyers chances will be around 95% if both Boston and Detroit lose in regulation. Someone correct if I'm wrong.

 

[PensBrony 6 9*]

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I think manning has actually been playing alright lately. He plays an extremely simple game but he looks a lot more confident and hasn't made any really glaring errors lately. I might even argue that he's looked better than streit

That's correct.




With the Isles losing Hamonic (on top of their other injuries) and their tough schedule, I still think they might be in trouble. Picking up points in their last three did a lot to get them into the playoffs, but they could lose all of their remaining games (vs PIT, vs TB, @ WSH, @ NYR, vs BUF, vs PHI).

Probably only need 1 or 2 points, though, so they're pretty safe at this point.

What is our magic number to ensure a playoff birth

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

What is our magic number to ensure a playoff birth

It's currently at 9. The Flyers are sitting with 89 points at the moment. Detroit is at 87 with five games left, so they could reach 97.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

What is our magic number to ensure a playoff birth

It's 9.

Combination of Flyers points earned and Red Wings points lost.

 

[The Rage Kage]

I can't believe its reached the point where I'll be disapointed if they don't make it. Also, if the Boston/Detroit game ends in regulation, the most the Flyers will need is 8, regardless of the outcome.

For however long he is out, the Islanders are gonna be struggling. Hamonic is the anchor of their defense and a huge part of their team.

That's assuming the Boston/Wings game ends in regulation. If it's a 3 point game ROWs will play a factor.
