This organization could not win a "heads I win tails you lose" coin flip. Unbelievable. Lets' examine the evidence......
What am I leaving out? Or are all organizations like this?
- get a steal of a defensemen in the 6th round - throat sliced open in a freak boating accident
- lose a Vezina caliber goalie to a car accident
- Oskar Lindblom coming into his own -- cancer
- trade everything but the kitchen sink for all world Lindros only to find out, for all his skill, he can't skate with his head up
- Worst record in the league by a wide margin only to get the 2nd OA pick in a 1-player draft
- Gifted a #2 OA. Maybe our luck is changing. Nope. Flyers being Flyers blow it. They go for the injury prone (and he was injury prone before the NHL), big Canadian
- #5OA pick does not want to be associated with the organization
- and now Michov
Bernie Parent injury in 1976 likely cost the Flyers a 3rd straight Cup.
Bernie Parent eye injury ended his career in 1979.
The Leon Stickle offsides call in the 1980 Finals.
Tim Kerr injury likely cost the Flyers a Cup in 1987.
I'm sure there's more.
