Craziest possible scenario tonight: Flyers must win in regulation to have a chance. Any kind of win by Capitals puts them in playoffs. What happens if game is tied late in third period? Flyers have to pull goalie, don’t they? Risking Capitals clinching on empty-netter.
@FriedgeHNIC I watched my #CBJ , a team currently laden with AHL call-ups, thrash the Flyers with relative ease a couple weeks ago. PHI is not a team I think deserves to make it after seeing that kind of clutch "effort."
@FriedgeHNIC Unfortunately I think flyers ship has sailed due to typical 8 game losing streak. Always next year 🤷♂️
@FriedgeHNIC They get in on goal differential as well which is hilarious!
@FriedgeHNIC Was just saying this, too. The other crazy wrinkle in that scenario is if the Caps allow a goal, they’re out. Normally only one of the teams is in all-out desperation mode in an empty net situation. In that case both would have their entire seasons on the line.
@FriedgeHNIC It's insanely dumb that the NHL doesn't have a play in game or games if 2 or more teams are tied after 82 games.
@FriedgeHNIC Absolutely, you miss the playoffs regardless so you pull the goalie and maybe even do so with 3 min left
@FriedgeHNIC Now that this scenario has actually come to pass @FriedgeHNIC do you think the NHL will do something to prevent this from happening again in the future?
@FriedgeHNIC Orlando had to do that on Saturday in the ECHL for the last spot and won. x.com/sctvman/status…
