Flyers Torched in Detroit, Cling to Playoff Spot

The Flyers roll into Detroit riding a fragile playoff position, only to get absolutely shelled in a night that has Tortorella fuming in the presser. Whispers from Philly's front office suggest this kind of collapse tests even the deepest locker room bonds, especially with the Metropolitan race tightening by the hour. They somehow hang onto that wild card, but the Red Wings smell vulnerability and the standings won't forgive another dud like this.
