January Could Determine Flyers’ Season
The Flyers have 7 games remaining in January; these seven games could ultimately determine the success of the Flyers season.
Obviously from a points and playoff point of view every game is huge no matter the opponent but these games, in particular, might just set the tone for the rest of the Flyers season.
Of the 7, 3 are against top teams in the NHL, and the month is capped off but 2 Penguins games. How will this team respond to top-end talent and will they rise to the occasion of playing the Pens? The opponents, in particular, are what makes these games so crucial especially as they are getting to the back half of the season.
Of course, this stretch will not determine if the Flyers make the playoffs by a technical standpoint but more set the standard for the rest of the season.
Will the Flyers end the year as a top-end talent which from their play at home looks more than possible, or will they be fighting for the last wild card needing game 82 to determine their fate?
There are some reasons to believe that the Flyers could have some success in these games. 5 out of 7 are at the Wells Fargo Center where the team has been lights out this season.
When the Flyers played the Capitals, they absolutely showed up to play and proved they can compete with top-end teams.
