The Bruins performance last night was not great and not helpful for their playoff push.

Standings:

I'll tell you the truth: It doesn't look good. A couple of Flyers wins and a Bruins regulation loss to Detroit on Thursday could put the final nail in the coffin.

The only game that matters: Philadelphia Flyers vs Detroit Red Wings

Lets see:

The Red Wings have one more ROW than the Bruins, and the same amount of points with 1 game in hand.

The Flyers have one fewer ROW than the Bruins, and the same amount of points with 2 games in hand.

Advantage: Rooting for Philadelphia.

Games coming up?

Red Wings have games @ Boston and host the Rangers to finish out the season.

Flyers have games against Toronto (lol), Pittsburgh, and finish at the Islanders

More likely to get more points? Gotta go with Philly. Advantage: Rooting for Philadelphia.

If only that game were nationally available on a mid-tier cable channel...oh wait! It is!

Game Time: 8pm, tonight

TV: NBC Sports in America, TVA in Canada. You can stream the game with the NBC Sports Live app or online.

hate love: Horrible Jerks welove: Winging it in Motown and Broad Street Hockey.
