ESPN is showing your boys with 100 pts.

That is correct.  And corrected.

I do believe we have one left against the Blueshirts in Pittsburgh, so really staying within a point of the Rangers is the key as the Rangers have quite a grasp on the tiebreakers.  I don't have the stat, but the Pens schedule is slightly more difficult from here on out.

One thing that is probably more important than the race for the #1 seed is Crosby's one-ice performance going into the playoffs...and I am happy to report that he is beginning to heat up.

Jesus Penso, who the fuck it updating this thread? One of your students?

I believe the Flyers lost 5-3.

I can only hope your goaltending is this sloppy in a few weeks.

Strange.  ESPN game cast had it at 5-2.  Looking at the box score I see that's completely wrong. 

But don't worry.  This time next week, there won't be anything of interest on this thread for you to read anyway.

Hey, maybe the Flyers will hit the playoffs with a hot goalie!

Fucking horrible loss, at home, especially with Fleury in goal.  I'm not blaming Fleury (everybody has a bad night now and then) but surely this is the kind of game that a reasonably decent back up might have started.  Oh wait, we don't have one of those.

In the larger picture I'm alarmed by the emerging "one good game, one shitfest" pattern that has emerged of late.

Worst game I've seen Fluery play in years. Paul Martin should be suspended for that headshot on the last goal.

Paul Martin should be suspended for that headshot on the last goal.

The league talked about it, but felt it would actually be a bigger punishment to the team to make him keep playing.
