The crest on their sweaters makes it clear that those guys are, in fact, the Flyers.
Good thing, too, because there are a lot of numbers that suggest otherwise.
Like how 26 teams have more points than Philadelphia.
How no fewer than18 have more penalty minutes than the one with Broad Street Bullies bloodlines.
And how a couple dozen clubs -- if not more -- have a better chance of qualifying foe the Stanley Cup playoffs this spring.
The plain truth is, their uniforms aside, the Flyers bear scant resemblance to the kind of team generally found on the far side of the Commonwealth.
