I realize its early December, and there is still alot of hockey left to be played. If the Flyers go on a nice little 6 game win streak, all of this talk will be silenced. But for now, the fact is, the Flyers have lost 5 out of 7, there is heat on the head coach, and the team is suffering from the same problems from the last couple years; inconsistency/perceived lack of a full 60 minute effort. You have to check the interview with Chris Pronger on csnphilly.com where he talks about “walking a tightrope” in the locker room in regards to helping Mike Richards lead this team. Its a truly fascinating look into what Richards may or may not be like as a leader, and how others react to him. Im not saying Richards is a horrible captain or that he is, the fact is, its too soon to make judgements. But the reality is, that this team needs to get its shit straight….NOW.
