2021-22 Player Review: Joel Farabee tried his best

For Joel Farabee, expectations were admittedly high coming into the 2021-22 season. After all, his sophomore season proved to be a minor breakout for him – he finished the covid-shortened 2020-21 season by leading the Flyers with 20 goals, the second youngest player in franchise history to pull off such a feat. He was also one of the few of the younger players (which I tend to define as anyone under 25) to not backslide in his performance that season. It all pointed towards a sign that perhaps Farabee was going to be the real deal, that maybe he’d be the second face of this team’s future (with Carter Hart being the face, naturally).
