Wayne Simmonds immediately won over the hearts of Flyers fans when he first suited up for the orange and black at the beginning of the 2011 season. This was pretty important, as Simmonds was one of the key pieces acquired in a trade that sent former beloved franchise center Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings during the 2011 off-season. Since his acquisition, Simmonds has eclipsed the 30-goal mark twice, while also scoring 28 twice, 29 once, and was on a 27-goal pace during the lockout shortened season.
This year, however, the Wayne Train seemed to have lost a step.
