We’ve all had them. A player we followed from their draft year, or from another team’s system, or someone we happened to see play one great game, and then we believe in them.And, typically for the Philadelphia Flyers, that player just doesn’t meet expectations. From goalies like Antero Niittymäki and Petr Mrazek who got off to hot starts, to players who had a chance but were derailed by injuries, like Eric Wellwood and Marc-Andre Bourdon.Bill & Steve are remembering their favorite busts, disappointments and bad calls on players they thought would make an impact in Orange & Black.

The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles kickoff their preseason tonight with a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, so let’s use that as a springboard to talk about the Flyers’ preseason, shall we?

It feels like the roster is pretty well set, but we’ve seen this team make room for players who set themselves apart in camp and during the exhibition schedule. Charlie & Bill discuss what it will take for Jett Luchanko, Oliver Bonk, Samu Tuomaala, and others to push their way onto the NHL roster. Plus, a discussion on Danny Briere’s “inefficient spending.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Whether the Philadelphia Flyers are Stanley Cup contenders or in the standings’ basement, there’s a long tradition among Philly fans of having a whipping boy or two who absorbs most of the blame for the team’s shortcomings.
