The Flyers are looking to redeem themselves and make the playoffs this season. Well, they are off to a so-so campaign in 2019-20. Of course, with some highs, a team encounters some adversity. Well, look no further than a four game losing streak, that has seen the Flyers travel 14,000+ in 6 games played.
One of the questions or flavor of the day was who were the Flyers going to call-up, after another game where the Flyers heavily out shot their opponent, but lacked the fire offensively? Look no further than a young stud in Joel Farabee. Finally, Farabee gets his shot with the big club, as he looks to make an immediate impression.
It’s about time this young stud in Farabee gets to make an imprint with the orange and black. Drafted by the Flyers in 2018 at 14th overall. Farabee has seen action with the AHL Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and he torched his opponents. For the Phantoms, he has registered 3 goals, to go along with 1 apple in 4 professional games played. Not too shabby I must say. Moreover, Farabee is producing at a high level, and he is just so darn good at killing penalties. It becomes very attractive for a call-up, based off those reasons alone.
This young stud cannot hide in the Phantoms system no longer. Farabee does the little things well, like draw penalties, and plays solid defense. For Farabee, the time is now. One thing is certain Flyers fans, the future is bright in Flyer land.
