against Washington and Pittsburgh left on the schedule. They are also just two points up on the final wildcard team and six points up on the first team out of the playoffs.

The Flyers are certainly flirting with an epic collapse, from comfortably in the playoffs to fighting for their playoff lives every night. With 12 games to go, what will it take to lock down a playoff spot?

As captain of the Flyers, ClaudeGiroux has been a fixture of the Philadelphia sports scene for the better part of the last decade. With Tuesday's news of Brent Celek being released by the Eagles, Giroux vaulted to the top in the list of Philadelphia's longest-tenured athletes currently playing in the city.

It's somewhat fitting that Giroux becomes Philly's longest-tenured athlete as heputs the finishing touches on a great season individually. On Monday night, Giroux scored his 25th goal of the season and picked up his 82nd point, sealing his first point-per-game season in three years.

Giroux has put himself in some elite company this season, and his lengthy time in Philadelphia is a main reason why. Now, as Philly's longest-tenured athlete, Giroux's comeback season of sorts should be appreciated by fans who have watched from the very beginning.
