With much of this season coming as a pleasant surprise, there is still one topic that is able to sour even the most positive of discussions.
Defense.
If you are a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, the majority of your conversations this season have been about the team’s less than stellar defense.
Allowing the seventh most goals against in the entire the league, the team has a glaring issue that many feel needs to be addressed at the trade deadline that is quickly approaching on February 28.
While there is still plenty of speculation as to what the Flyers will do before the figurative clock strikes 12 on their last opportunity to improve their team (the literal deadline ends at 3 p.m., for those of you wondering), there is one thing they will have to do no matter what moves they do or do not make.
Clear out the front of their net.
