[Patrick Division]

After 5 games and seeing what we have I think we make the playoffs top 3 in Metro in spite of Haktard.

Wildcard spot

Pens, Caps, Jackets top 3 and we will finish 4th or 5th in the Division

If this team finishes in the top 3 of the division, nobody can claim that Hakstol held them back from hitting their potential.

I don't think that will happen. He is an average coach and they are, on paper, an average to slightly above average team IMO. I see them winning the top wild card spot, not in spite nor because of the coach.

If #23 is a regular? Yes.

 

[Curufinwe]

Can't say more than maybe without knowing the goalies' SV%.

 

[deadhead]

It's pretty obvious that the jump in ES play that began last year when they added Filppula and Weal wasn't a fluke. The only change in the top 9 turned out to be swapping Patrick for Schenn, the big change has been on the 4th line. After Filppula arrived, the Flyers were 10-7-3 and outscored the opposition at ES 43-29. If the wunderkid can fix the PP, this team will score in the top ten league wide. And having a 4th line that looks to become an elite checking group that can add some offense will be an additional plus.

So it comes down to the goalies, if they're close to the league average, Flyers should exceed 100 points, if they're as bad as last year, 90-95 points and on the fringe of the playoffs.

Regular what?

I still think they miss the playoffs...as big of a fall as that would be. The team is just too flawed and theyre getting to the point where the good players are going to start slumping from frustration.

I think they go 3-9-2 the rest of the way.

Our good players are likely exhausted from having to carry the rest of the team all damned season

Legit possibility.

And Hakstol STILL wont get fired.

From 1st in Division in March to out of Playoffs. Unreal.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Unfortunately I think we will barely slip into the playoffs and Hak will keep his job.

The way this team is we don't deserve to be in playoffs.

Hak needs to be Crucified as a coach

Seems like many people were reluctant to choose a side when it comes to this poll

this recent stretch has made it hard for many fans to leave emotion out of it.

And the sky is blue and Lappy will continue to ruin our PK.

Just add a little something like a Filppula contract extension and I'm going to throw the towel on this franchise.

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

It will take a collapse of epic proportion for them to miss the playoffs. While nothing is out of the possibility, I just don’t see a team laying down that drastically. Going from first in the division to out of the playoffs in a month would be one of the biggest collapses of all time. Hak would 100% be canned in that case. The fans would demand blood.

Hextall is so stubborn he would keep Hakstol just to spite the fans.

These are the kind of posts that make it obvious you’re saying this out of emotion and not logic.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Benny, get your ass out of the "Just miss" pile.

True. He wouldnt do it to spite the fans. He would do it because he cant admit he f***ed up.

 

[Psuhockey]

Columbus next 3 games: Detroit, Montreal, @ Philly next Thursday.

Philly next 3 games: Winnipeg, Vegas, Columbus.

Philly currently sits 4 pts up on Columbus. I don’t think it’s that crazy to think next Thursday will be for 3rd place

Columbus’s remains schedule after the Flyers: Ottawa, Boston, Rangers, Florida, St Louis, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Nashville.

The last wild card spot could come down to Philly or New Jersey.
