And most importantly, the fans are completely fed up. It’s permeating throughout the hockey universe. It’s not just me saying it anymore friends. As one former Philadelphia hockey scribe DM’d me on Twitter after the loss to Buffalo: “ In short, this organization tossed aside 50 years of what Ed Snider had built to become the mid-2010s Minnesota Wild on the ice and the Washington Nationals off the ice.” The Flyers’ current 11-game winless streak also matches the longest winless streak in the NHL this season, tying the Arizona Coyotes from October/November. And only they and the 2005-06 Blues have had multiple winless streaks of at least 10 games with at least one of the streaks going beyond 10 games in that same time frame.
