The Flyers have lost 6 of 7, and despite picking up a point in 3 of the losses, have started to look a lot more like the team everybody thought they would be prior to the season.  Even with solid goaltending and Travis Konecny’s 40+ goal pace, Philly is clinging to a wild card spot with a 1-point lead on Tampa Bay and a 2-point lead on the Devils, Caps, Pens, and Red Wings.  Charlie, Bill, and Kel...
