The Flyers’ playoff hopes have died. Like a plant in winter time, shriveling up over the fall, slowly having the life drained out of it before eventually dying off and falling to the ground. This will only the 10th time the Flyers have missed the playoffs in their 50 years of existence, and 3rd time in the last five years — their worst stretch since 1989-1994 where they missed the playoffs for five consecutive seasons. Tonight’s game was kept interesting until the end, and credit must be given to the team for making it so. But the Rangers came out on top by a final score of 4-3.
