Coach Peter Laviolette has been a key catalyst in bringing his Philadelphia Flyers team out of the Eastern Conference basement. Laviolette came to Philadelphia to a team in disarray. A team that all of a sudden had no continuity and convinced some fans that this season was all but lost. The Flyers are 13-11-2 since ‘Lavvy’ took over the helm after John Stevens was relieved of his duties. That record, those 11 losses, are quite deceiving giving how this team has played over the past month and a half. Laviolette has instilled to this team a system that has made this Flyers team seem like a team that was picked to win the Stanley Cup by numerous hockey outlets. The Flyers have been scoring goals just as efficient as they are preventing them
