Interesting game. Flyers are a totally different team at home. 17-8-5 at home. 9-17-6 on the road. HUGE difference. I think tonight is going to be a tough game for us to win, Flyers lose tonight and they will be sellers on Monday IMO. So they are playing for their playoff lives IMO. Makes me think they will play well and it will be tough for us to win this game. Now with that said, if we do find a way to win I think we have an excellent shot to win the division. We do anyway of course, but a win tonight and I think we are the clear odds on favorite to win the division after the Isles loss to the Canes tonight. Looking forward to seeing how we play tonight.
C'omon chuck, even if Philly wins tonight. They should still be sellers on Monday. There is no way that they are making the playoffs.
I don't disagree with you Step, they are done, but if they are 6 points back they won't be in full sell mode. You know how these things work. Of course they are not making the playoffs, but 6 points isn't a ton with 38 points remaining. Plus they play Boston next weekend. If they win and stay 6 back those players will still think they have a shot. I do think Hextall might deal off a player or two either way, we'll see. They don't have any top UFA's this summer, so they don't have rentals to deal anyway.
This damn PP needs to get fixed. They're being way too friggin passive. They need to stop passing up shots. Take a shot and stop looking for the perfect shot. Take what's there and hope for a rebound.

Meh....he was screened but he did a poor job at trying to see around the screen and locate the puck. Not really on him as Klein needed to do a better job at moving the Flyer player outta the way.
That being said the Rangers are letting the Flyers hang around. I'm sorry but they're not that good and their spot in the standings this season is justified.
Anyone else think Nash is still hurting? He seems sluggish and not his normal aggressive self since the CBJ game.
BTW...MDZ continues to suck beyond belief. I dont see anything different from his time with the Rangers. I wonder if the Flyers will resign him.
Del Zotto is an absolute underachieving piece of shit. Lost count of how many shots he has badly missed the net with tonight. Nothing has changed.
