Following back-to-back shutout victories over the Buffalo Sabres, the Flyers possess the fifth-best points percentage in the league and the best in the East division. Yet, through the early stages of the season, few have been content with the team’s overall play. From the coaching staff, to the players, to the fanbase, the general takeaway has been that, while they were winning, they weren’t playing all that well.
Though, without one of the best players in the league in the lineup, the lull in their game wasn’t all that surprising. With Sean Couturier back, and a roster no longer ravaged by Covid-19, it’s time for the Flyers to show us who they really are; for better or for worse.
