A complete history of the Philadelphia Flyers' bias against Russian players

Just nine players from Russia have ever been drafted by the Flyers, and just 14 Russians have ever played in a regular season game for the Flyers.

The 2015 NHL Draft was the most-Russian draft the Flyers have ever had. But in the aftermath of it, and as that ages-old mindset is finally seeming to change, it feels like a good time to actually take inventory of the organization's long-time bias against Russians.

I saw this tweet from Russ Cohen earlier and thought it was interesting.

Just wrote something about Yevgeni Medvedev.
