It was fun while it lasted, but now we should be going.
Following a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Washington Capitals, the Flyers now sit five points behind Montreal and Columbus (Blue Jackets currently occupying second wild card spot), seven points behind Carolina for the first wildcard seed, and eleven points behind Pittsburgh for third in the Metro, with only 12 games left to play.
