Flyers -
Last night's game against the Devils might be replayed at various points this season. When your roster is filled with numerous new players it can be difficult to maintain a consistent approach.
The other factor is injuries. Any team that has someone like Chris Pronger out of the lineup will be affected in some way.

Phillies -
After the NLDS situation, this might feel like a longer offseason than last year.
The Cliff Lee Christmas gift understandably made everyone believe that good days were ahead. And they were until mid-September.
