My belief that the Wild will beat the Capitals tonight is at an all time low.

I asked in the other thread but I didn't get an answer.

Is this good? Do we want this?

Evaporated beliefs.

A great band name

Yes, we want this.

Maybe we have a better chance at beating the caps with them winning last night? Obviously the more home ice we can get in the playoffs the better.

There's also a big difference between facing Washington/Pittsburgh and Carolina/Columbus/Islanders in the first round.

Big for sure.

Flyers are 6-2-2 in their last 10 road games.

 

[Curufinwe]

Have the Flyers beat any playoff teams yet, or is Philly still Garbage?

If I had been fooled by a weak schedule into thinking the Flyers were pretty good this season, I would feel like such a dunce right now.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I haven’t really been paying attention but checking the box scores seeing Werenski with 20 goals was an eye opener.

That 2016-17 season was such a drag.

I get the job has set in challenges but Dale Tallon has gotten so much rope to this point just to be bad/mediocre.

It's Florida. The owners don't give AF about results there.

They did one season when a hockey guy wasn’t the GM.

DGB weekend power rankings: Sorting through trades, streaks...

Not ranked: Philadelphia Flyers – It would be wrong to suggest that the Flyers have snuck up on anyone, or that their playoff run has come out of nowhere. They’ve been churning out points pretty much all season long, never getting really hot or cold (other than a brief wobble after the holiday break) but consistently winning more than they lost. Until this current six-game stretch, they haven’t had that monster win streak that makes everyone pay attention. They’ve just spent most of the year always seeming to be 6-3-1 in their last ten.

The thing about 6-3-1 is that it’s more than enough to get you into the playoffs, and that’s where the Flyers are headed. They’re basically a lock after sweeping a home-and-home with the Blue Jackets last week and taking out the Rangers this weekend. They’ve blown past the Penguins for home ice. And now, they might make a push for the division if the Caps can’t get back on track.

The reason I'm posting this one today is that for the last few weeks, it was on the conservative end of publicly available models specifically for the Flyers.. It now has them projected slightly ahead of Pittsburgh.

This last stretch has changed some things, even if they cool off a bit as expected. Enjoy it.
