Though they are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs at this moment, the Flyers’ odds of a miracle playoff birth sit at just 0.2% according to MoneyPuck.
It’s been a sad, depressing season of hockey, and for our dear Flyers, that season will come to an end shortly, but that doesn’t mean the end of watching hockey, obviously. Not to corner those who do this into the “bandwagon” hockey fan collective, as this describes something completely different, but there are many a fan who in the event of their team missing the playoffs will pick a “playoff team” to support in substitution.
