For a team that every "expert" picked to be a losing team, they aren't bad. But why?
Don't look now, but the Philadelphia Flyers are currently in second place in the Metropolitan Division. They are tied for second with the Washington Capitals and are just four points behind the division-leading Carolina Hurricanes. A win against the Chicago Blackhawks would give them sole possession of second heading into the mini-Christmas break.
The thing is, this should not be where they are.
