The Flyers are on the brink of selling with a loss to the Bruins tonight. Something that would pretty much end their playoff hopes for the season.
Last Monday, head coach Alain Vigneault relied heavily on his veterans & top players to keep their season afloat. Something that resulted in a 4-3 comeback win over the Sabres. Now, those same players will be relied on to make a playoff push.
“If we’re going to make the playoff push, we need all our top players, all our top performers to be on top of their game and bring that A-game,” head coach Alain Vigneault said.”
The Flyers have lost 6-straight games to the Bruins. Tonight, look to end that losing streak & keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a win.
“The season is on the line,” forward Jake Voracek said. “We are in a big hole, we cannot afford to lose any big games.”
