Red Wings and Flyers In

Yesterday was a crazy day in the NHL with all 30 teams playing, but it also had the Red Wings and Flyers knocking out the Bruins of the playoffs. That means every spot in the playoffs is now taken. First the Red Wings lost to the New York Rangers 3-2, but the Bruins lost 6-1 to the Ottawa Senators who are a non playoff team. This ensured the Red Wings extend their playoff streak to 25 consecutive years. The Bruins had to pray that the Flyers lost to the Penguins in regulation and they didn't. The Flyers beat the Penguins 3-1 and that ended their 1 year playoff absence. The Red Wings will have a rematch against the Tampa Bay Lightning for round one which last year went to 7 games with the Lightning winning it. The Flyers will be playing the best team in the NHL this year, the Capitals in round one which will be a tough one for the Flyers. The Los Angles Kings proved it in 2012 that you can win it as long as you're in it so the Flyers have as much of a chance as everyone else. The Bruins need to undergo some changes this offseason, they have barely missed the playoffs last year and history repeated itself for the Bruins who could not even beat a non playoff team to make it so that's disappointing. Free agent Loui Eriksson could be gone next season and long time head coach Claude Julien could be fired this offseason. Will the Red Wings make the playoffs next year? Can the Flyers pull off an upset on the Capitals? What changes will be made for the Bruins? stay tuned....
