The Flyers are just devasted with injuries now and it looks like they're FINALLY catching up to them. Just today, they were without Peter Forsberg, Keith Primeau, Petr Nedved, Eric Desjardins, Kim Johnsson and Chris Therian. And it's been like that all season, on average they have 5 people out every game due to injury.
Jani Pitkanen (the teams best offensive defensemen with 25 points in 30 games) has missed a lot of time, Simon Gagne missed a couple of weeks, Sami Kapanen was out for 20+ games, Robert Esche was hurt for an extended period, etc. It's amazing really that until yesterday they were able to hold on to 1st in their division.
Regardless, it was an impressive win by the Canadiens today and it looks like they might be starting to get things back on track - same goes for the Leafs. I did see that Waddell today made a statement that the Thrashers will make the playoffs

That's a pretty bold statement, and personally i don't see the Thrashers making it. It should be one hell of a race down the stretch though, with Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Altanta, and even the NYIslanders and Florida all in the hunt for that last playoff spot (not that teams like NJ and TB are safe by anymeans).
