This Week's Don't Look Now Team: The Philadelphia Flyers

By -

After a big party last week for Number 88 maybe it's time to get nostalgic for the Flyers. 

Carrying a 4 game winning streak into tomorrow night's game against the Lightning, the Flyers have won 8 of their last 10 games.

Sean Couturier (not an all-star) is having a career year with a plus 18 rating and 49 points. All star snub Jakub Voacek has 55 points on the season and somehow still relevant Claude Giroux (surely a future Hab somehow) has 56 points.  

Brain Elliot is vying for win number 20 halfway through the season.  

The playoffs are always better with the Flyers in them.

Meanwhile, Starboy Drouin and the Habs decided to play hockey last night and beat the hottest team in the league.  Go figure, this team won't die.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!
