Will the Flyers make the playoffs???

With two games remaining against two playoff-secure teams, the question looming in all Flyers fans is will they get over the hump and make the playoffs. The incredibly aggravating loss to the Penguins the other night, who might I add played some incredibly dirty hockey, was enough to take the Flyers out of the 8th spot in the east, where they sat comfortably for a long while. The Capitals crushed the Lightning 4-1, and played incredibly hard, with Ovechkin, no longer Alex the Great but Alexander the Amazing in my mind, scoring his 64th and 65th goal. That kid is exciting to watch and has his team playing great. Feeling the heat from below, I realized that the Capitals were incredibly hot and were likely going to overtake the Flyers at some point for the final spot in the East. However, the question still remains, will they make the playoffs? With a tough game on the schedule for Friday, the rival Devils are coming to philly with an obvious hope of spoiling our playoff hopes. They also have been playing great, but hopefully the Flyers play with the desperation of their situation in mind and come out with some points. However, between that game and the game Sunday against the scumbag Penguins, it seems like the road to the playoffs will be extremely tough. Since the Caps have already passed us and play the lowly Panthers for their closer, it seems like they will make it very difficult for the Flyers to make it. If I had to vote, I'd say the Flyers dont make it. But hey, I'm a Philly fan, letdowns are expected right??? Gonna be an exciting few days for Flyers fans and hockey in general, and all i can say is LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!
