Repurposing from another thread:
The Flyers visit the Caps on Wednesday on national TV, having won six straight and standing only three points behind WSH for the Metro division lead. That game is going to get all the hype, and deservedly so. Then they have to come home to host us the next night, after we've had four days off, presumably to rest, recover, maybe get a goalie healthy, and have a handful of practices to acclimate the new guys.
IMO, this game is set up for us to win. If we can't capitalize on a team coming down off a huge high the night before and traveling, then we're just not good enough. We may still make the playoffs (finishing ahead of FLA, CLB and NYR isn't a very high bar), but we simply lack the killer instinct we had last season.
I kinda like it. But we're really at a "rearranging deck chairs" point, IMO. We need guys to play better. Chemistry isn't the issue. And I'm still mad Bean isn't up yet. I'm certain the D will include Gardiner and Edmundson, which is our current weakest link, including the goaltending.
