Don’t look now, but the Flyers currently hold third place in the Metropolitan Division...
Yes, it is far too early in the season to make any sort of judgement on the Flyers thus far, but it far too easy to judge them against past seasons and look at where those past teams’ shortcomings don’t apply today. This rings especially true in these early days of the season, since Flyers teams of the recent past haven’t been the quickest out of the gate.
This year’s first ten game stretch has been the second best in the last five seasons (including this current one), interestingly.
