Six, seven, and two.
Not even enough games, right?
100% they stand a chance.
It's just a matter of how much you believe in the defense that they're playing and the low-scoring, shut-down hockey that they have going.
I can give you some of the numbers for the Flyers in their miraculous run because it is truly a coaching marvel, and this thing deserves so much credit.
Rick Talkett deserves so much credit for this thing.
If we look at the power play percentage since February 18th, so from the Olympic break on, the Philadelphia Flyers are 30th in the league in power play.
If we look at the penalty kill since the Olympic break, the Philadelphia Flyers are 28th in the league.
If we look at the shots per game in the league since the Olympic break, the Philadelphia Flyers are 27th.
If we look at the shots against per game for the Philadelphia Flyers since the Olympic break, they are fifth overall in the league.
Talk it has had the most impressive run of any coach this season.
If we're talking just from Olympic break to the end of the season, no coach has had a better run than what he's doing right now with the style of hockey they're playing where we're not going to score.
we're gonna maybe allow we don't wanna we don't we don't need it we don't need special teams we're gonna allow a bunch of goals when we're on the penalty kill too we're not even gonna worry about that it's just the other team at five on five isn't gonna get any shots on goal and the puck's not gonna be in the back of our net and we're gonna do just enough to win these games oh oh you like a good narrative there jesse what's that that's playoff style hockey
You like a good narrative, Jesse?
I don't think that's a bad narrative at all.
