Arrgh, I hate the way this team is playing. So hard to sustain excellence for the 9-freakin month season.

whatever happened to that kid that was up for a few games earlier this year? wellwood or something like that (too lazy to look it up)
the toronto announcer is way too excitable. someone needs to tell him the playoffs start in april and it's only march
Give the announcers some slack..the Queefs haven't been this close to the playoffs this late in the season in what 4-5yrs ?
Wellwood probably would be called up if they really get hit with injuries and needed a player for an extended period..I think they are just seeing what Holstrom has right now for a short time while guys are sick
My drinking team has a hockey problem

It sure looked like the whole team had the flu. Senators and Leafs - 2 losses. Nice job guys. :roll:

Does anything stand out? In the short month of February, the Flyers collected just 15 points, their lowest total of any month besides the first month of the season.
Tonight, against Toronto at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers turn the page to March - where they will play a ridiculous 15 games in 29 days.
Somehow, along the way, the Flyers managed to go a span of 27 days without losing by more than one goal and they have not lost back-to-back games since Dec. 20 and 28. They will look to keep that streak alive tonight.
With a 40-16-6 record - strangely 20-8-3 record both at home and on the road - the Flyers are on pace to finish with a 53-21-8 record, which would put them just 4 points shy of a franchise record.
Would you believe that some of the other top teams in franchise history have also struggled through February, which are the dog days of the NHL season?
For top hockey teams, it's apparently human nature to fall asleep at the wheel during the month of February. It’s deep enough into the season to have a cushion in the standings but far enough away from the playoffs that there isn’t a real concern of a free fall.
Here’s the February record of four of the top 10 regular seasons in Flyers history:
1973-74: 6-3-3 (went on to win Stanley Cup)
1974-75: 7-4-2 (went on to win Stanley Cup)
1976-77: 5-3-4 (lost in Semi-Finals)
1986-87: 3-5-1 (lost in Stanley Cup Finals)
The Flyers have 20 games to go. Check out how those teams finished:
1973-74: 15-2-2, 112 points (78 GP), went on to win Stanley Cup
1974-75: 15-1-2, 113 points (80 GP), went on to win Stanley Cup
1976-77: 10-3-4, 112 points (80 GP), lost in semi-finals
1986-87: 9-7-2, 100 points (80 GP), lost in Stanley Cup Finals
For the record: the franchise record holder in points (1975-76 season, 118 points), went 10-0-2 in the month of February. They went on to lose in the Stanley Cup Finals to Montreal. In their other four Stanley Cup Final appearances, the Flyers went 8-3-1 in 1984-85, 7-2-2 in 1979-80, 7-3-2 in 1996-97 and 5-2-0 in 2009-10 in the month of February.
Still, do you think the Flyers were eager to flip the page in the calendar?
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette used the three days in between games this week wisely, putting his team through vigorous on and off-ice workouts to prepare them for the rigors of March, April, May and... June?

Glad I could give everyone something to divert their attention to so you won't have to focus on the fact that the Rangers just beat you by a touchdown. Hope we get to see you again in the 1st round! We'll be waiting eagerly!

Take a look at the Flyers' month by month record this season:
October: 6-4-1 (13 points)
November: 9-2-3 (21 points)
December: 8-4-1 (17 points)
January: 10-2-0 (20 points)
February: 7-4-1 (15 points)
