What a difference a year makes, right? This time last year, Flyers fans were as disgruntled as ever, dealing with a putrid special teams. The penalty kill had more holes than a mini-golf course. 27 games into the season, the Flyers PK was hardly a factor.
Under Dave Hakstol, the Flyers played a lackadaisical style on the PK, and it seemed like opposing teams walked all over them in their own zone. This year, it’s much different. Under Vigneault, Yeo, and Therrien, the Flyers seem more active in their skating and stick handling. They’re breaking up passes, getting into lanes, and overall, making a better effort.
