Did the Flyers’ opening-night lineup choices send the wrong message?

Alright, so before I say anything else, a few quick disclaimers:

  • The Flyers won their season opener last night against a good team in a tough place to play that happens to be three time zones away. That’s awesome, and I’ll take any win that we can get no matter who’s on the ice for it. Just win, baby.
  • I don’t know yet what the lines are going to look like tonight in L.A., or Saturday in Anaheim, or what’s going to happen when the team decides to revert back to carrying seven defensemen instead of eight, or how long it will be until the lineup-based complaints I’m about to make here are somewhat out of date.
