It's a heavy lift with no room for error, but the team doesn't have to rely on outside forces. Well, they do kinda have to rely on the Pens, Bruins, and Islanders not winning games... Especially if they have their eyes set on third seed. But, yes, Jim Carrey is right - they do have a chance. Then they get into the playoffs and "anything can happen." Lather. Rinse. Repeat. I'm certainly not going to be upset if they suddenly start playing like Spring 2020 instead of Fall 2019. But I will certainly be surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize the Bruins had to play the Sabres 6 more times....so yeah that is a wrap. Sure call me half empty glads all anyone wants I'm fine with. They haven't really gave us anything in a long time to fill the glass up with to be honest. The best thing I can even come up with is that hot streak that got on before th shut down last year. It's about all I can come up with. Sure finally getting out the first round was nice as well. Maybe I should just lower my expectations.

They started off good this year and then the wheels fell off. They started out bad last season and got their legs under them. And that's the issue - a general lack of consistency. Teams that play more consistently - like the three at the top of the division - get better long term results. Yes, the Pens stumbled early this season but that core has been consistently good over a long period of time. The Flyers remain up and down... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
