I’ve long been alone in feeling there are similarities between the Philadelphia Flyers and the San Jose Sharks, but a new goaltender, paired with a new-look defense might finally convince some folks that Philadelphia is doomed to repeat the errors of Sharks teams past.
Yes, the Flyers will now get the joy of the Martin Jones Experience™ — perhaps only marginally better than the last two years of Brian Elliott — fully embracing the Sharks’ leftovers.
It’s just one of the several desperate plays general manager Chuck Fletcher made over a busy off-season.
