Well, this has been a Shakespearean Tragedy of a season hasn’t it ladies and gentlemen?
Not to hyperbolize things, but it’s especially poignant and tormenting given how the Flyers opened the season, having once sat in first place in the East Division, only to slowly but surely slip down the standings further and further, sinking into the despair that would eventually become an elimination from playoff contention. From poor goaltending, to baffling decision making, to slumps from key players, to a complete lack of defensive aptitude, and finally, even plain simple poor luck, it feels like nothing went right for the Flyers during the 2020-21 NHL season.
