Strangely, only two teams in the league get to beat up Detroit more than once down the stretch: Tampa (3 times) and Washington (2 times).

Too bad Detroit isn’t like Philly, where they get hot with 15 games left to ruin their draft spot.

Detroit could win every game the rest of the way and probably not ruin their draft position.

Yep.Detroit could win every game the rest of the way and probably not ruin their draft position.
15 games remaining, a maximum of 30 points, and they're currently 21 points ahead of the 2nd worst team.

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.
From the main boards:
"their last 10 they've beaten the Rangers x2 (without Shesterkin and Kreider)
the Bluejackets x2 (without Jones),
the Sharks,
the Panthers x2,
and the Jets.
Only the Bluejackets are a playoff team during that run and they're 1-9 since they lost Seth Jones. Their two losses are against playoff teams: Tampa Bay and NYI."
We can't beat playoff teams apparently....lol.

Blue Jackets - 4-0-0 (8P)
Rangers - 3-0-0 (6P)
Hurricanes - 2-0-1 (5P)
Maple Leafs - 2-0-1 (5P)
Capitals - 2-0-1 (5P)
Bruins - 2-0-0 (4P)
Panthers - 2-1-0 (4P)
Penguins - 1-1-1 (3P)
Islanders - 0-2-1 (1P)
Lightning - 0-2-0 (0P)
Other than the Islanders & Lightning we’ve more than held our own this year against playoff race teams in the East. It’s a mixed bag out West but we still have yet to play our second game with some of them yet.
I honestly don’t care injuries either as basically everyone in the league can point to that excuse including us with Patrick & Lindblom having drastic uncommon injuries that have shelved them for most of the year.
Obviously this current streak is getting us attention right now but outside of this & that rough stretch around Christmas we really haven’t had a noticeable trend in either direction. We’ve just been consistently picking up points at a good clip.

Ok, I went to defend Couturier on main board and was bad idea again.
Why still here are a lot of stupid fans? They should go on twitter.

I was wondering if I should see if I can break my live game curse this season if I go to that game. The problem is finding someone to go with. Even if they were Sabres fans.

And to add...while the teams I listed were not playoff teams, they were all playing for their playoff lives and were tweeners and playing desperately.
And we were a tweener as well until we stomped on the other tweeners.

What's the point of a guy that can score 40 goals if he allows 45 to get scored on his team? That's what these morons can't get through their greasy little heads.Ok, I went to defend Couturier on main board and was bad idea again.

Couturier is probably gonna win the Selke. He really doesn't need defending.

Yes, he should win Selke this year finally. (And he should have won two years ago already too I think.)

Rongos fans seem to hate Skjei more than Calgary fans hate Hamilton which is pretty incredible not gonna lie.

Jim Matheson is like a hockey guy bot. Not really convinced it’s a real person.

Reminder:
Frost is too small/soft to play in the NHL this year at 6', 180 lbs
Also a reminder, Kailer Yamamoto is 5'8, 158 lbs, was drafted 5 spots above Frost, and has 22 points in 22 games this year.
Thank you for your time.

Yamamoto is also a year older than Frost, he turned 21 in September.
He played 27 games in the AHL last year, and 17 games with Edmonton where he posted 1-1 2.
This year he played 23 games in the AHL before being brought up.
So the parallel would be for Frost to start next season in the AHL, then breakout in January with the Flyers!
