We should all celebrate Thanksgiving in two weeks since we'll all be thankful that we don't have to watch this garbage that weekend...

Matvei Michkov is currently on pace for 52.5 goals this season. The last time the #Flyers had a player reach 40 goals in a season: Jeff Carter - 46 in 2008-09. The last time they had a 50-goal scorer: John LeClair - 51 in 1997-98. #LetsGoFlyers

Believe me, I could write another article on roster decisions alone (and probably will since that's the issue with trying to fix this). But the first and foremost issue is that the rebuild centered around restoring culture. It looked repaired. Now it looks fractured again.
It's on Briere and Jones. They had a lukewarm, one foot in, one foot out on a rebuild. They never acquired a 1C or a 1D and they fell in love with mediocre players and gave them long term deals with NMCs. The guys whove been here longterm are stallwarts of losing hockey.

"Soft." "Fragile." "Shy." "Nervous." "Comfortable." With a vocabulary of red flags, it isn't just the losses. It's a full-blown identity crisis. Thoughts on the #Flyers' fractured culture and a season slipping away. STORY for @973espn: 973espn.com/flyers-soft-play… #LetsGoFlyers

I get the frustration the fans have here. McDonald played well enough to stay and provided an element the team sorely lacks. Same with Knuble assuming he's next to be sent down. It wasn't them contributing to the “soft” play. That said, there's way bigger issues than this.
With some players on the cusp of returning, notably Konecny and Tippett, the roster was becoming a numbers game. So Hunter McDonald goes back to Lehigh. #LetsGoFlyers

Lose nine, win three, lose three. 3-8-4 after October... Quarter-mark is just six games away. #LetsGoFlyers

🏒 Instant analysis of the #Flyers 4-3 overtime loss to the #BlueJackets. #LetsGoFlyers #CBJ #PHIvsCBJ

Final: #BlueJackets 4, #Flyers 3 (F/OT) #Flyers made the furious rally back, but a second 2-on-0 in OT does them in. Being a no-show in the first period set them back. They are 3-7-4 through 14 games this season. One more in October tomorrow night against Washington. #LetsGoFlyers #CBJ #PHIvsCBJ
