Bored. Wanna see which players people think kills the flyers the most. Not looking for like a crosby/malkin answer, more of a lesser known guy. For example, before the flyers got shelley, it seemed like he would score all of his 3 goals for the season against the flyers. Also, Zubrus plays like a monster against the flyers, physically and offensively. Anyone?

I agree on Zubrus. I never said it, but I thought really hard about Zubrus before the deadline when NJ seemed that they would be a fringe playoff team.
Maybe I'm just partial to goalies, but I always feel that Lundqvist plays really well against us. I'm not sure if it's the entire team or just him so I don't know. Then the default answer becomes every ex-Flyer.
Johan Hedberg. I don't know if i would classify him as a killer but he played very well against the Flyers for both the Thrasher and Devils, more so then their team's #1.
Also Jordan Staal seemed to always score big goals while on the pens (shorthanded goals or go-ahead goals). Think there is someone else on the Pens that has racked up a few points against the Flyers too, maybe kennedy aka pig man.
Krejci is not so high on the list as the other names mentioned, but I always get up from Bruins games feeling like he played really well for them. Maybe it's just because he's a good player that doesn't get hyped as hard as others. Frans Neilson's team doesn't win enough games against the Flyers to be a Flyers killer, but I feel like he always gets up for Flyers games (I admit to not watchign enough Islanders). Then there's the two opposite sides of Crosby. We were lucky enough to get the rattle wielding baby this year, usually it's the steely eyed killer that shows up for our games though. Fleury is mercurial, but when he's on he is an unbelievable thorn in the Flyers sides. Lundqvist, Hedberg, Zubrus, Elias are all good ones, those came to mind before I even got the thread open.
Let's flip it a little bit also, who are some guys who just always seem to underperform, or at least come away with a loss against the Flyers? I'll start it with Kari Lehtonen.
Elias that mother ****er. He always seems to be able to score against us. Also, other teams' big name scorers/player mired in slump/and back up goalies (ex) Valiquette)
