In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

Three games, three losses, and the season opened with a 7-0 shutout at the hands of Pittsburgh — the turning point, since nothing after it felt survivable. A 3-2 loss in New Jersey brought the first open calls to "Fire Tocchet. Right fucking now," and a 3-2 home defeat to Carolina confirmed the pattern: "outshot 122-62 in the first 3 games." One fan noted Igor Shesterkin has more goals than the Flyers forwards. Brick by brick, mostly thrown.
