Flyerdelphia Weekly Round-Up: November 7-13
It started promising, then quickly faded into the abyss that has been the lone consistency of the Flyers season. Thus is a 1-2-0 week that ended with two poorly played blowout losses.
It left the door open for more discussion surrounding the team, which there was plenty of on Flyerdelphia this week.
