The Flyers traveled to New York tonight to faceoff with the stinkin Rangers. They played well enough to win on most night, but the desperate Rangers, who needed the win to clinch a playoff spot, figured out away to pull it out. 29 saves by Marty Biron and a sweet power play by Danny Briere just weren't enough. Early in the first period Markus Naslund scored for a 1-0 Ranger lead. Late in the period Ryan Callahan made it 2-0. Midway through the 2nd period Briere cut it to 2-1. From there despite their best efforts the Flyers were not able to forge a tie and the Rangers got the 2-1 win. So the Orange and Black drop to 43-26-11 overall and into a 3 way tie for the 4th spot in the Eastern conference, which maintain via the fact that they still have one more game left to play than the Carolina Hurricanes and Penguins. They'll probably have to win their last two games in order to hang on to that all important 4th seed and home ice advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs.
