Flyers need to go 6-3 to make the playoffs

One of these 3 teams will at worst get the 8th seed.  Forget looking at Detroit.  If Boston can't get more than 10 points out of their possible 14 points, the Flyers can go 6-3 and still make the playoffs.

 

Atlantic

BOS 86 (7 games: @TOR, @NJ, @STL, @CHI, CAR, DET, OTT)

DET 85 (8 games: PIT, BUF, @MTL, MIN, @TOR, PHI, @BOS, @NYR)

 

Metro

PHI 85 (9 games: @ARI, WPG, WAS, OTT, @PIT, @DET, TOR, PIT, @NYI)

 

Scenario #1.  Boston loses to STL and CHI and wins the rest, finish 5-2 with 96 points, takes 3rd in Atlantic.  Detroit goes 5-3 they end with 95 points.  Flyers go 6-3 finish with 97 points (WC).

 

Scenario #2.  Boston still goes 5-2, 96 points.  DETROIT goes 6-2 ends with 97 points (3rd in Atlantic).  Flyers 6-3, 97 points (WC).  

 

 

This is just the scenario with Boston & Detroit.  Pittsburgh and the Islanders, of whom the Flyers have 3 games with are all within striking distance.

Yeah with the Bruins skidding (is that 5 losses in a row?), those games are gonna be tough. If they don't have a good road trip, there's lots of pressure on them at home to win out.

 

I like our chances...

Wings are still skidding too.  They beat the Habs last night, but only just barely and the Habs themselves are a team without their two best players.
