9 is a magical number in Philadelphia. Forever associated with Nick Foles and the miracle Super Bowl run, it currently bears a similar level of optimism for Flyers fans, who have watched their team rally to a 9-game win streak. Excitement levels may be at new highs, but for one of the more vocal leaders on the team, so are the levels of accountability.
On the surface, the Flyers handled business against Buffalo, keeping Jack Eichel off the scoresheet and rallying to a 3-1 win. Beneath it, there was a sense of complacency being battled with urgency.
