There are certain big stories this season that every Flyers fan knows about. Shayne Gostisbehere is having a spectacular rookie season. Michel Neuvirth got off to a great start and kept the team going when Steve Mason struggled. Claude Giroux again leads the team in points. And Sean Couturier is having a breakout season.
For my money, the most under-appreciated story of this season is the development of Michael Del Zotto. He turned so many heads last season when he exceeded everyone’s expectations. Little more than a cheap, emergency signing, he left an indelible mark on the team and fans.
