One could make a pretty good case that, over the last two or three seasons, Voracek has been the best Philadelphia Flyers player. Giroux has taken the team MVPs, Ghost has stolen the fans’ love, but on many nights no one did more to drive the play for the Flyers than the big, fast, Czech.
That’s what made last season a little disturbing. Voracek got off to a shockingly slow start, at least in terms of points. He also finished the season playing injured, adding up to his least productive season in 5 years as a Flyer.
