Interesting scenario for the Flyers. At first glance I thought they had a shot to claim home ice over the Pens with one more win and a Pittsburgh loss, but since it would only move them into a tie in overall points, the Pens still claim the first tiebreaker. The odd case of The Penguins potentially having fewer wins overall than the Flyers, but 16 of the Flyers 42 wins came after regulation while only 7 of the Penguins 41 wins did.

If the Flyers beat the Habs tomorrow and the Penguins lose to... (whoever, it doesn't matter), the Penguins would end the season with 41 wins, and a combined 41 losses that include OT and S/O. The Flyers would have 43 wins and 39 losses (also including OT and S/O), but because RW is the first tiebreaker, the Pens get home ice.
 
This will be more appropriate for tomorrow's GDT, but it would be nice if we can pick up at least one more point, as that will ensure that we finish ahead of Dallas for the second best record overall. If we make it to the Finals and by some miracle, the Avs do not, we would have home ice then, too.
 
Great to win the East and to do so with the lineup we employed. I missed the first two periods but thought we looked very good overall - and Bussi played well, especially in the 3rd. We had many chances to win that game in regulation and OT, but I'm not complaining. Not sure what the team will look like in today's final game of the season, but we certainly haven't limped into the playoffs like we have in previous years.
