I'm not sure it's the buy-in that's the problem but yes Philly does look better on paper than their record indicates.
Then again they do hold a current playoff spot despite their big 3 having so-so years so far by what is expected of them.
Carter Hart has also been a bit disappointing as well.
Started season in Europe
Then went on a West coast swing
Lost some games where they dominated on the season
Hart is just starting to come around
Patrick yet to play a game....then his replacement Laughton got hurt
5-0-1 since scratching Hagg and replacing with Myers....hmmm.
Most Flyers fans are very happy where we are given that they have played well most games and still have yet to have a full lineup or a bunch of guys playing to potential yet.
Oh yeah....and have yet to get the help from the #2 scoring rookie in the AHL in Frost.
