The alarms are sounding in Philadelphia. Just a month into the season, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves facing a familiar and unsettling identity crisis.

In this episode of Flyers Files, hosts Kevin Durso, Alex Berardis, and Siobhan Nolan break down the shocking comments from captain Sean Couturier and veteran Nick Seeler calling out the team's compete level and labeling their play "soft at times."

Is the much-vaunted team culture actually broken, or can the team right the ship before the hole becomes too deep to climb out of? We examine what went wrong in the locker room, whether the "soft" tag is fair, and if this season is already slipping away.
