Most teams have between two and three games remaining (the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Florida Panthers<\/a> have an absurd FOUR), and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/flyers\/\" target=\"_self\">Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> have two. It\u2019s an easier ride than most, with none of their remaining contests against playoff-bound teams. <strong>Claude  Giroux<\/strong> should be a Hart Trophy candidate after scoring his 95th point of the season on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The Flyers are as hot as they\u2019ve been all year, getting points in their last eight games, winning five of them. It\u2019s a good time to get hot, too, with the playoffs lurking a week away. As of the start of Monday action in the NHL, the Flyers currently hold the top wildcard spot in the East, though they are tied with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/blue-jackets\/\" target=\"_self\">Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> for the third spot in the Metro.<\/p>\n<p>With so much hockey remaining to be played across the league, it would be silly to speculate about what the matchups will be in most scenarios, but that\u2019s exactly what this week\u2019s You Would Think does. Kyle and Mike also talk quite a bit about <strong>Gabe Kapler<\/strong>\u2019s early struggles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/phillies\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> dugout, touch on Villanova\u2019s March Madness success, and, of course, Seven or Six Seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Like us on Facebook @YWTpodcast<br \/>\nFollow us on Twitter @YWTpodcast<br \/>\nKyle Collington on Twitter @kcollington<br \/>\nMike Giletto on Twitter @mike_giletto<\/p>\n<p>Logo created by Ben Resnick (follow him on twitter @bennythejet55)<\/p>\n<p>Music courtesy of www.bensound.com<\/p>\n<p>You Would Think: The Philly Sports Podcast is available on Last Word on Sports, Podbean, iTunes, and Google Play.<\/p>\n<p><em>You Would Think: The Philly Sports Podcast is brought to you by Last Word On Sports.
