2013-14 NHL Regular Season Thread: Second Period

Interesting tidbit... The Flyers have a 4-0-2 record against NHL heavyweights St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Boston since March 15.

Now come on a beat the Blue Jackets tonight! 1-2 against the Blue Jackets who have scored an average of 5 goals per game against the Flyers this season.
 
B's finally dropped a game in regulation against the Red Wings - the team played hard, but Howard game up big and Nyquist blew by Chara for the game winner.

Tonight the B's are playing another team fighting for their playoff lives in Toronto. I just hope the team gets through these games without injury and at least clinch home ice through the conference finals. They have a shot for home ice through the SC Finals, which would be nice, but not as essential as health.
 
Pittsburgh has them beat by about 100 games.

Yeah But Pittsburg has had Crosby all year and Malkin most of the year. The Wings have played more games without Zetterberg and Datsyuk than with them. And the Wings weren't as good of team to begin with. I still believe Babcock has done a better job under far tougher circumstances. H#$*, he's even had to use mediocre defenseman Brendan Smith as a Forward many games.
 
From Yahoo Sports today: (last line is hilarious!)

The Jackets’ win over the Flyers makes things a little interesting in the Metro, as the BJs are just two points in back of Philly (87) for third in the division and a first-round date with the Rangers. The Flyers have the tie-breaker in regulation wins (36). SportClubStats still has them with a 61 percent chance of placing third in the Metro … but there’s a still a chance they can drop to the wild card.

Which means there’s still a chance they could meet the Penguins in the first round.

That sound you just heard was Marc-Andre Fleury [expletiving] himself.
