The past three seasons haven’t been particularly kind to the Philadelphia Flyers. After missing the playoffs just five times from 1995 to 2020, the Flyers have missed the postseason for the past three years, and if their play to begin the 2023-24 season is any indication, it appears as though that rough spell won’t be […]
