As the Devils were playing the Flyer’s last week in Philly, I couldn’t help but notice a few things. First of all, the Philly team looked totally different than the last time we played them — they were generating pace shift after shift and we could never dig out of our own zone. They got Shayne Gosthisbehere back from injury, but he shouldn’t completely upend the effectiveness of their entire lineup should he? The other thing I noticed was that some of our elite guys — Hall and Hischier, in particular — seemed to disappear. What happened between January 13th and January 20th that made the Flyers seem like they became suddenly invincible?
