Flyers Looking For More Commitment

from Ed Moran of the Philadelphia Daily News,
“There is a feeling that we’re a good team and that fundamentally we have to play better,” general manager Paul Holmgren said yesterday after the team returned from the West Coast. “Two years ago we had a lot more issues with our team that we don’t have with this team.”
The problem, Holmgren said, is not the defense or the injuries.
“Right now I don’t believe we’re real committed to playing the way we need to play, he said. “I’m not sure our forwards are committed. They forgot how hard it was last year in the playoffs and they’re trying to find shortcuts.”
This start doesn’t doom the team, but it casts some serious doubt about a repeat of last year’s playoffs or even advancing to the Stanley Cup finals.
