Is this a safe space? No, this is the internet. Whatever, I’m going to treat it as if it is.
I’m going to start by coming clean.
This is my first year without season tickets since the 2014-15 season. Over that time I saw Shayne Gostisbehere’s incredible rookie year, Claude Giroux’s final years as a Flyer, and a pretty shocking run before Covid stopped the Flyers’ momentum along with the rest of the world.
That said, I admit this with shame as I consider my foolishness, in part for believing in Ron Hextall and Dave Hakstol, but mostly because I felt like I wore a badge of fiscal irresponsibility as I paid face value to see the Coyotes on a Tuesday.
