The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
Worst game: Thu, Oct 15, L 1-2 @ Detroit Red Wings
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
A 2-3 loss to Seattle opened the week with deployment arguments, chiefly that "there is no fucking universe that BUNTING should be on the first power play over MATVEI MICHKOV." Then came Detroit, 1-2, the turning point in every sense: misery peaked, the coach became "a fucking loser," and someone told Danny to "throw the wheelchair down the staircase and get it over with." Beating Ottawa 3-1 cooled things without settling anything, because the complaint was never the scoreboard. It was Barkey in overtime and Michkov on the bench.
What fans said
“This guy is a fucking loser. There’s zero excuse that he should be the coach.”

GIF⚡ swingSo the Flyers lost again. But wait. It gets better. The last team to start an NHL regular season 1-7-0 through their first eight games and still make the playoffs was the 2013–14 Philadelphia Flyers.

Ice time tonight! Noel Acciari and Simon Benoit both play more than Matvei Michkov (lone scorer) & Porter Martone. Blasphemy.
