  1. All this work only to waste 8 days in the post season because I think Rangers are going to annihilate the Caps.

  2. That is my Oshie Bae

    Great to see the good guys in red get this done on a b2b. John Carlson had arguably his best defensive game of the year playing nearly 30 mins of ice time!

  3. Detroit and Pittsburgh fans punching the air rn seeing Philly pull their goalie🤣🤣🤣 Obviously the flyers needed to win in reg to have a shot at making it, but damn what a tragic way to lose the 2nd wild card spot😆

  4. LETS GO CAPS! To every other team that was in contention, great effort guys! Pens had a great last stretch, and the Wings didn't let up with two comebacks in a row! Flyers, uh, thanks for pulling your goalie? XD

  5. I get Flyers going on extreme offence to secure the the W but this empty netter was an extremely demoralzing end to the Red Wings's playoff story. And I'm not even a Wings fan.

  6. You don’t often see teams pull the goalie late in regulation in a tie game, but in this circumstance, the Flyers had no choice. They needed a regulation win to stay alive., because an overtime game would have given the Capitals a point (even if they lose in overtime, unless they do something foolish like pull the goalie in overtime like the Wild did not too long ago). That being said, I do question the timing of when they did it, because it took maybe 10 seconds after they pulled the goalie for Oshie to score into the empty net. This has nothing to do with the Flyers trying to “screw over” the Red Wins or Penguins. They needed a regulation win to stay alive in the playoff hunt. Unfortunately, it will get more attention, because the Red Wings also won (scored the tying goal with 3 seconds left in regulation, and won 5-4 in the shootout), and would have been in the playoffs if the Capitals had lost.

  7. There was no reason to do this. Nobody wanted to play the penguins or the wings in the playoffs the way they’ve been playing. I mean you couldn’t script it any better. I’d be embarrassed to be a flyer tonight… never seen a team give up while tied.

  8. Such an anticlimactic ending…I don’t think the people who made this rule envisioned a team clinching a trip to the playoffs with a empty net game winner.

  9. На первый взгляд кажется коррупцией, но оказывается лишь единственным шансом при множественных параметрах удачи. Этот шаг был просчитан до игры. При прочей удаче от других клубов и многих равных параметрах двух клубов, очки в личных встречах могли бы быть 4 : 3 в пользу Филов, но бы мешает.

  10. Wings, Pens, whoever can blame themselves…91 points is almost never enough, win more games. Caps are lucky

  11. I screamed out of joy! What an exciting game. Too The whiners in Pitt and Detroit. Up hours! You had 82 games to figure it out. Caps are in!
