Philadelphia is a very gritty city–there’s no doubt about it. The Flyers sit fourth in the entire league record-wise but have not come anywhere close to playing like it. The lack of defensive stability has been one of the biggest issues for Philly. However, with Sean Couturier close to returning, that may be resolved before we know it. The scoring has been there, but it hasn’t been as balanced as we would like to see it.
The good thing is that those flaws are fixable for the most part at least.
