For the past few seasons of Flyers hockey, they have remained an inconsistent hockey team. One night the orange and black would tally five goals and the next, only one. In addition, the Flyers always appear to be chasing the game. The Flyers trailed 2-0, 32 times out of 82 games last season. Getting behind the 8-ball night after night really takes its toll on a team. They become tired and flat. Let’s not talk about how bad the penalty kill was, as well (see later).
Chuck Fletcher added some key players and hired a brand new coaching staff this offseason to fix these problems, and hopefully make this team a consistent hockey team for the 2019-20 season.
