Neither have proven they're capable of being reliably good night in, night out over the grind with all of the pressures placed on the Flyers.
I'm not saying they can't. I'm just saying that it's far from proven. So far they've each had one good regular season game. Yes, they also both had good camps, but that's not the same thing.

You didn't say that earlier. You responded to a poster saying that they've shown that they're ready to play well and said that they've only had one game that indicates they're playing well. You said nothing about being a starter. So it's flat-out untrue for two reasons. Not only is there much, much more then one game to judge them on, but they have both played well given their roles and given proper perspective on all things.
