Friday Morning Skate: Final nail in the coffin

The Philadelphia Flyers got the final nail in their coffin last night with a 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils. It made official what we all felt for a while: the Flyers are not a playoff team this season.

There are just six games left in the season for the Flyers. They play the Devils, Penguins, and Capitals twice each to finish off the season.
