(4 home, 8 away) vs. quality teams: 10, vs. East: 11Max points Florida can earn in their remaining 12 games is 24 which would put their total at 105. (7 home, 5 away) vs. quality teams: 10, vs. East: 12Max points Ottawa can earn in their remaining 13 games is 26 which would put their total at 103. (8 home, 5 away) vs. quality teams: 10, vs. East: 12Max points Philadelphia can earn in their remaining 10 games is 20 which would put their total at 93. (6 home, 4 away) vs. quality teams: 7, vs. East: 6 Boston earning 10 points puts them at 93, (5 wins) 41.66666666666667% of their potential listed above.Ottawa earning 14 points puts them at 93, (7 wins) 53.84615384615385% of their potential listed above.Florida Earning 17 points puts them at 93. (9 wins or 8 wins and a OTL) 70.83333333333334% of their potential listed above Out of these teams above Philly in the wild card standings, They only play Ottawa the last game of the season.Boston plays Ottawa once and Florida 3 times. 8 points that will be divided up by teams above Philly that can't be made up by PhillyOttawa plays Boston, Florida, Philadelphia. 4 points that will be divided up by teams above Philly that can't be made up by PhillyFlorida plays Boston 3 times and Ottawa once. 8 points that will be divided up by teams above Philly that can't be made up by Philly This equates to about 12 points Philly can't recover from no matter how well they do amongst these 3 teams. This means that Philly needs to earn at least 12(85) points from other teams to even make progress towards a wild-card spot and the obvious magical play-off run resulting in their first cup since the 70s and the first of 4 in a row. Totally feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I seriously hope you just copy/pasted that from somewhere.... I might have been able to follow it if he had. I'm guessing it is tongue and cheek because anyone talking Flyers and playoffs at this point (and, really, for several months now) should seek medical attention. The Flyers should not even be in the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I expect to see the Flyers play well for the most part with at least 500 hockey through the final stretch. Especially the home games as I still have 3 games to attend. The Flyers are always up for the Pittsburgh series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I would like to see a more realistic version of this write-up. One that has the possibility of the Flyers finishing dead last and winning the draft lottery. They cannot get to dead last being that even if Buffalo won out and the Flyers lost out, they would still be three points ahead of them in the standings; however, they can loose out and Arizona can win out and the Flyers would be in 29 place and have about a 13.5% chance of winning the McJesus cup. Exciting times indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes this is just an academic conversation for me until you folks with actual money invested in tickets remind me how much this really sucks for people.

radoran Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Wells Fargo Center has announced a special promotion: free beer at all 2015 Flyers playoff games. This is following an idea begun by the Sixers in 2014 and extended at least through 2072. Rumors are that Citizens Bank Park has also decided to join in the special promotion.

WordsOfWisdom Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That has Philly at 0.0%. That's been true for quite awhile. They round to one decimal place, so Philly still has a 0.000162% (or whatever) chance. Once it's exactly 0, the site says "Out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
