As Flyers fans, we tend to find a lot to disagree about. Ask five different orange-and-black-donned die-hards about what Claude Giroux has left in him, or just how useful Sean Couturier is, or whether the Flyers mishandled their goaltending situation with Steve Mason, or how good a job Dave Hakstol is doing, or even how…

A few quick thoughts about tonight’s game after jump. If you want Flyers coverage, go to Broad Street Hockey. But don’t trust them with anything about, say, the crowd at the Rock. I’ll be there in my seat. They won’t. >> John Fischer, ILWT There have been a lot of shots taken at us over…
