Sam Carchidi of the Philly Inquirer: The players believe in Scott Gordon even if the fans are a bit more skeptical. The ending streak for Philadelphia did little to sway them. Philadelphia fired back with quite a strong 25 game streak but it took too much out of them. Over the final ten games, this was not the same Flyers game.
The hope is that a shorter term contract deal would be ideal. It becomes difficult to coach so Philadelphia is expected to appreciate the contributions. This made Philadelphia harder to play against. One weakness which will rise to the surface is the team defense/penalty kill.
