Not sure how anyone can think the Flyers will be anything but bad.

which is why i think most ppl have them ranked so low. but again, they made the playoffs with their entire team injured last year. id be surprised if they are that hurt this year. if they have Datsyuk & Zetterberg the whole year, i think they make it easily.

This is exactly the kind of thing that caused people to overrate Ottawa going into last season. "They made the playoffs without Spezza or Karlsson for big chunks of 2013. Imagine how they'll be when those guys come back." Teams sometimes overachieve when their best players are out because everyone puts their hardhats on and meshes as a group. When the big guys are in the lineup everyday, the rest of the group kinda relaxes. We will see, and I'm not counting them out, but I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't as good as they were last season.
