Here we are again: another ten-game losing streak. Another season all but down the drain, after an off-season full of changes that were supposed to re-shape the identity of this team. As if the Flyers were a written drama, the character that you thought had been killed off at the end of last season has reappeared, and old storylines begin again.
In many ways, this team feels directionless. On the ice, an abundance of unforced errors with the puck and an over-reliance on a failing forecheck has kept the offense at bay, all while at the other end of the ice it takes a small miracle for the puck to be cleared.
