A breakdown of the Flyers recent historic collapse
Photo credit: the morning call
On March 24th, the Flyers had a 88% chance of making the playoffs which has now turned to 6% after an 8 game losing streak.
Out of the 8 losses, 6 of the teams currently sit outside the playoffs meaning the Flyers should have been able to get at least a few points.
The main problem is hard to pin-point as it has been a collective effort by the entire team for the awful losing streak. The goaltending has been horrendous, defense extremely shaky and the offense is nowhere to be found.
It is hard to describe what has happened to the #Flyers over the past two weeks.
On 3/24, Philadelphia had an 88% chance of making the playoffs; since then, they have lost 8 games in a row, 6 of which were against teams outside of a playoff position.

Now the Flyers have 3 games left to try and make up for these loses against the Devils, Rangers and Capitals. Hopefully winning these game and having a bit of luck on their side will allow them to make the playoffs but it won't be easy.
