Welcome back to another addition of The Hockey Writers Ink. This week on the show we start off by talking about a couple of my latest articles.
The first one up for discussion that Steel and I will cover in the Pod Cast is:
In this article I went over a couple of key things that the teams still in the playoffs have or are extremely better at then the Flyers at this point. I also presented the fact when the Flyers teams in the past possessed these traits, they were successful. With that being said I also showed evidence of current playoff teams that currently dominate the league using these same methods.
Nothing like a smack in the face with some stinging statics to make you open your eyes and realize just how far away this team may actually be from being a true contender.
Second up is my most recent article: https://flyersnittygritty.com/a-possible-ufa-replacement-for-the-flyers-if-they-move-on-from-nolan-patrick/
Where I lay out a realistic option to replace Nolan Patrick who could fit into the Flyers budget but still be an upgrade if in fact the rumors are true that Patrick will ask for a trade.
In the third segment of the show Steel and I give our opinions on Lehigh Valley’s new head coach Ian Laperrière.
Finally we try to make sense of Flyers prospect goaltender Felix Sandstrom’s 24-hour change of heart. When he announced that he was set to sign a contract over seas only to sign back with the Flyers organization in less than a day’s time.
So come join us by clicking the link below as we try to keep you current on all things Flyers this summer.Â
As long as Giroux and Voracek are on this team, and as long as this team remains largely dependent on them, this team will continue to go nowhere.
