Are the Flyers Ready to Start the Season?
I was waiting all summer for football season to start, and we've all seen how well that went. Now I'm really nervous about the Flyers. There are a lot of question marks surrounding the team, but most importantly, Why is a team that should be a Stanley Cup contender going with a starting goalie who at 35, has had a few streaky seasons of semi-brilliance but he's never played more than 58 games in a regular season and has played in just 12 playoff games over a 13-year career (ESPN.com)? Also it frightens me to hear reports that after nearly a year John LeClair says his shoulder is between 60-70%.
That being said, the first practice game is tonight vs. the Devils at the Wackovia Center. Being evaluated are the young defensive corps, various Phantoms forwards to see if they are ready for the big league, and the effectiveness of the "All-American" line as a unit. The Inquirer has the rest.
