Here we are again.
Flyers fans may remember that the last season in which the team had a 10-game losing streak, they made the playoffs and became the first and only team to do that in NHL history. That was the 2017-2018 season, which followed a season in which the team had a 10-game winning streak and missed the playoffs—again, becoming the first and still only team to accomplish such a feat.
Combine such statistical oddities with the fact that the Flyers have also made the playoffs in every even-numbered year since 1996 and there still remained some hope following this season’s 10-game losing streak that something weird and miraculous would happen.
