Chances are if you’ve been watching the Flyers or reading Flyers-related content on the internet, you’ve come across an article or two that suggests (to put it mildly) the Flyers need to make changes. The voice of fan discontent has gotten louder after another slow start, but when might change come and how? The answer may not be, “not as soon as you’d like”.
Change among NHL teams, at least, the significant kind, is often prefaced by the standard, more minor attempts to resolve issues. It’s typical to see line juggling and strange healthy scratch patterns that lead to fans questioning the coach, particularly if they don’t produce results.
