The Flyers lost both games of a home and home with Toronto, including one in which they were up 3-0 in the 3rd period. I love it.
The Capitals had a big come from behind win over Calgary last night, but unfortunately Carolina also won, continuing their hot streak. I don't think the Caps can catch them. They're 7 points behind with roughly a dozen games left to play for each team. Their best bet for the playoffs is to hope either the Flyers or Bruins go ice cold for the last 12 or so games and that they go on a tear and can sneak into one of the last playoff spots. They're only 5 points behind the Flyers and 6 behind the Bruins, who are the 8th and 7th seeds in the East, respectively.
The Penguins beat Buffalo in a weird one. It was 3-0 Pens going into the 3rd. The final score was 7-3 Pens. Seven combined goals in the third period. Wow. What is even more amazing is that Buffalo had two disallowed goals and hit the post. It could have been much closer than 7-3.
If the playoffs started today, the 1-8 matchup in the East would be Flyers and Penguins. What a series that would be. I kind of wish they started today just for that reason.
