Surprised there’s never been a Belarusian goalie to play in the NHL before.

Surprised there’s never been a Belarusian goalie to play in the NHL before.
The fact that the Blackhawks have given up 9 less goals than the Flyers in the same amount of games should really show how bad this f***ing team is. They are running at about 3.5 goals given up on average a game.
Briere is too f***ing stupid to realize that there are going to be a lot of players who don't want to be here.

It's a Flyers-branded (TM) Rebuild, aka, how can we suck more with each subsequent year?

For the same reason a body continues to get worse when it has an infection that’s spreading and isnt being treated at all.
They still have Jones, Torts, the fat bald one, the advisors, Hilferty, and all their idiot hires.

That's not a fair judgement of this teams qualities. Sharks are the only team that's tanking. Most are either trying to do half assed retool or slowly trying to contend following a rebuild. We are simply as bad as other bad teams. However the thing is that we don't have any rentals and god forbid they'll do a hockey trade given how inept their pro scouting is. Two years away from two years away.the best part is we are 31st out of 32 teams and this is year 3 of a 3 year rebuild..

Daniel Taylor ins Belarusian now... but was not when he played in the NHL aha.
But yeh, there have been 15x skaters and no goalies before last night. (not counting the guys like Miszuk, Misyul and Bautin who were born in Belarus but played for a different nation)
Ustimenko plays under a Russian flag but he actually dressed for a game and did not play and is Belarusian.
Flyers have more connections to Belarus than probably any other NHL team...
John Miszuk was the first Belarusian born player to play in the NHL in the 1960s and ofc played 2 seasons with the Flyers.
4 of the 18 Belarus born players in NHL history who dressed for 1+ game played for the Flyers.

I know you made a typo with the years, but this is exceptionally funny because you've been saying they're 2 years from being 2 year away for about 6 years now.

2 years away from being 2 years away
I wanted to tank, so honestly the losses don't matter at all to me.
What I don't love...Regressions from....86, 71, 48, 8, 74....that is not good

Has there ever been a more premature victory lap than the ones Jonesy took last season.

If they didn't have those regressions, the team wouldn't be this bad.

Meltzer from hockeybuzz:
"I was told by someone in hockey ops that Tortorella did not want "go too small on D" with three small/smallish D. York and Drysdale are in the lineup, so that squeezed out Andrae when he was called up. Right now with York out, though, there's an opportunity for Andrae. He was a bright spot last night."

Just watch the traffic around the Flyers net against teams like Minnesota and you can see why.

Sounds like a good reason why they didnt draft Buium, contrary to what some, alright, one, on here might say...

I think this is just what a bad team looks like. They can look decent in spurts, but ultimately they will regress to their talent and team level.
Not sure what the big difference was last year. Is it as simple as Walker and Hart and the team playing above their heads?
Our team defense is awful, and we have the goaltending to match. Our team offense is very erratic. It's really only the same 3-4 players contributing offensively and every one else is just a passenger.
I'm sure they will figure out some stability and won't *look* this bad all year, but I'm not sure they will match last year's output. I thought they would be playoff bubble before the season started, but now, it seems very unlikely!

Both teams have played 9 games:
Chicago 5x5 18.88 xGA - all 31.14
Flyers 5x5 16.57 xGA - all 27.05
Hmm. Wonder why Flyers have given up more goals?
