Saying that a team is coming into their season with a blank slate, is a cliché for a reason. Whether it is a bad postseason loss hanging over their head, or a disappointing finish to the regular season that saw them tumble down the standings and not even get to sniff the stench of the championship — there are reasons to try to shake off the proverbial cobwebs (hey, another one) and try to not get bogged down by your own failures.
But then there are the 2022-23 Philadelphia Flyers. A completely lost team that has no true direction other than straight forward on a roundabout just as fast as they can, hoping no one will notice.
