simple question

[devs30rko]

do you believe?



i'm not entirely sold yet... i'll wait till we're within 5 points to truly get my hopes up. but this is exciting to watch

I was in the process of typing a detailed post regarding how much the schedule is favoring us until the end of march. For example, we have only 6 games against over .500 teams from now until the end of March. 4 of those are against the depleted Pitt and and Tampa (worst defense of any playoff team).

well i've also noticed we have a bunch of games against teams were in contention with. those are the keys. we need to be at least 75% in those games

 

[TheSgtDabbs]

I believe!

The teams ahead of us go against each other a lot as well.barring to many three point games that could be a factor as well.however like rko said I'm just going to enjoy the ride unless we get a little closer.

 

[devs30rko]

like i said on the nhl general board, my viewpoint is this.


if we are within 5 points with 10 games left, i will truly believe.


i believe in this team, i'm just not entriely sold on the possibility is all yet

More than that. We're still need to go 17-5.

 

[devs30rko]

teh best way to put it is not to put number on it, but we need to win 5 more games the rest of the way than whoever the 8th seed would otherwise be.


capable yes,

sure thing, far from it

When in doubt remember last year's Flyers

(In a good way, erase that whole Game 6 of the SCF fiasco)

 

[TiLoBrown]

Last years Flyers beat us....fuck that

 

[$auce]

I do

Even if we make up the points which I think we will, there are 4 teams that also have to falter which we have to leapfrog and that is going to be very tough.

Nothing is impossible and if we dont beleive who will?

BTW OTT beating FLA 2-1

Lets go sens!

I'd just like to see the look on Bettman's face if we do get in. No doubt he would be dumbfounded.

 

[TiLoBrown]

He'd just try to move us again

 

[flyersfan4706]

He would move you to Tijuana or Las Vegas

 

[MadCaptain]

He will implement the "Race for the playoffs chase" rule where only the top 10 teams in each conference are eligible for points past the halfway mark of the season.

It will be called the "Four Lefts Make a Right" Rule in hopes of gaining popularity with the NASCAR fanbase.

I believe they are capable. Until the season is over and they are in the playoffs, I will withhold judgment. Among my other odd favorite sports teams, I am an Indians fan. For those not really into baseball, back in '05 the Indians were bad for the first half of the year. But in the second half they went on a run that you see only a handful of times in your life. At one point they were on something like a 42-15 tear. They looked absolutely unstoppable and had closed in on the division lead. Last week of the season they went 1-6 and I wanted to cry.
