Rival in Focus: Washington Capitals by Bill Meltzer @BillMeltzer / philadelphiaflyers.com
Somewhat akin to the Philadelphia Flyers rivalry with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Philadelphia club s clashes with the Washington Capitals were far too lopsided in the Flyers favor in the early years to be considered much of a rivalry at all. By 1982, however, the Caps began to emerge as a solid NHL club and there started to be more at stake in the standings. By the time the teams started to face off against one another in the playoffs and games between the teams became physical, chippy contests, the teams couldn t stand the sight of one another.
It s also worth noting that the team has played the vast majority of its games without top forward Sean Couturier, the reigning Selke winner who suffered a rib injury in the second game of the season.
He s getting closer to returning (more on that in a minute) and some other players could soon shake off some rust from extensive time away from hockey. Carter Hart hasn t been at his best, and the team s one offseason acquisition, Erik Gustafson, hasn t come close to playing at the level many expected. There are special teams issues and injury concerns. Sure, you can take a glass-half-empty approach, but Vigneault still has his team tied for the best record in the division. That certainly sounds like a good thing.

It was September 2018, and neither Philadelphia nor the world had any idea what was about to be unleashed.
The Philadelphia Flyers like to say this was around the time they found an orange creature that had been living under the bleachers of the Wells Fargo Center. But the real story of how the hockey club ended up with an accidental sensation goes back to earlier in the year, when the neighboring Eagles returned home from their Super Bowl 52 win.
The four Philadelphia teams all share a sports and entertainment complex in the southeastern part of the city near the Navy Yard. The other three showed up to the Eagles practice facility to greet the team and participate in the fanfare.
