The Flyers got destroyed tonight and sent home for the summer. This by far the worst team they have had since they started making the playoffs again in the early 90's. For the first time in my entire life I shut off a Flyers game (out of anger) after one period of play. After the 3rd goal I litterally did not watch another second untill I flipped back (and timed it perfectly) to see the final 20 seconds tick off.
Yeah, you can make the excuse off all the hurt players. But the team just didn't want to play tonight. Thats the bottom line. They were ready to go home. I can't think of anyone other than Gagne, Carter and Richards I want to see make on the team. No exageration here. All the others are expendable including Foresberg who they could get a bunch of great young players for at next year's trade deadline.
Sadly, the Clarkie will be under the illusion that his team is a cup team and do nothing to build for the future and likely not make any deal like that. Don't worry about next year, worry about 5 years from now. Build and grow a team together, don't just rent players and buy washed up talent, through them together in hopes they will win the cup. It doesnt work. They have tried it for over 10 years.
Rebuild, Rebuild,Rebuild.
If that means writing off the next 3 years at cup years, so be it. Thats the only way it will work.
Anyway, according to Jay if you add up all 4 teams its 90 straight seasons with out a championship.
Why not check out the Curse of William Penn on a day like today. Check it out. I don't know its serious or not but it looks like they made a movie about it. The music is perfect.
Flyers Suck
