We interrupt March Madness to bring you ... the hockey season.
Don't look now, but those red-hot Flyers would be in the playoffs if the season ended today.
Last night's huge 3-2 win on the road over the Chicago Blackhawks actually vaulted the Flyers over the Detroit Red Wings for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Not even playing on the road and on back-to-back nights could not cool off Dave Hakstol's red-hot club.
Of course, there are still a lot of games to go, starting Saturday at home with a crucial match with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are also battling for a playoff spot. The Pens are currently two points ahead of the Flyers.
Consider this an early vote for Hakstol as NHL Coach of the Year.
