Re: Rebuilding Broad Street(NHL15 PS4)
Time Skip!!!!
If you are so inclined to see the game-by-game results follow my Twitter(@FlyersBAGM) but here's the Season Recap  Despite trading away a lot of core players around the deadline, the Philadelphia Flyers almost squeaked into the playoffs. With four games remaining the Flyers needed to win out and Carolina needed to lose their remaining games, but cross-state rivals Pittsburgh Penguins took great joy in handing the Flyers a 5-1 Loss that all but punched the Flyers ticket to a full summer of golfing. Carolina's 3-0 win over Buffalo confirmed the Flyers were missing the playoffs for the 2nd time in three seasons posting a 41-36-5 record. "It's disappointing for sure," Claude Giroux told the media after the Flyers finale, "You always come in with the goal of lifting the Cup, so to completely miss out on the post-season is tough. We knew this year would be tough, we're still growing as a team and as players. We'll be back in the post-season and I'll be damned if we don't lift that cup by the time my playing career is over." Though missing the playoffs is a big disappointment, the season had plenty of good things. Sean Couturier, the 8th Overall pick from the 2011 Draft who has been under the microscope the past few seasons for his lack of offensive scoring, broke out and set career highs with 30 Goals, 36 Asssists and 66 Points, good for 2nd on the team. Michael Del Zotto turned into the top pairing defenseman many thought he would be, and led the Flyers Defense with 34 Points. Wayne Simmonds and Jake Voracek both scored 30+ goals while captain Claude Giroux scored at a point-per-game pace. The one rough spot in the Flyers lineup was goaltending as both goalies had difficulty keeping the puck out of the net, Mason had a 2.75GAA and Emery a 2.88GAA but that doesn't completely fall on their shoulders as the Flyers defense went through an on-the-fly overhaul with MacDonald, Grossmann and Coburn being dealt during the season. Mason failed to grab hold of the starting role and only played in 47 games(24-16-2) and that might not bode well for his future. His only saving grace is that the market doesn't look to be strong for goalies and Anthony Stolarz isn't ready to take the reigns in the NHL. As far as the NHL, the New York Islanders raised Lord Stanley's Cup on the shoulders of John Tavares and a cinderella run and in dramatic fashion. First they upset Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins in SIX GAMES, before taking down Alex Ovechkin and his Washington Capitals in a thrilling Seven game series then putting the Tampa Bay Lightning and Steven Stamkos away in six. In their way were the St. Louis Blues, who were the early favorites. Both teams went back and forth but it was the New York Islanders who came out on top in seven to life the Stanley Cup for the 5th time in their Franchise. Pavel Datsyuk and Patrick Marleau announced their retirements and that leaves a big hole in Detroit and San Jose, respectively.
