Wade Allison Ripping The Shit Out Of Some Smelling Salts Is The Only Actually Good Highlight From This Flyers Season
The Philadelphia Flyers have been a complete and utter disappointment this season. After taking the 1 seed into the Eastern Conference Playoffs last season, there was so much hope and expectation heading into this year. The core was mostly staying the same, the young players had another year under their belt, Carter Hart is the future. There was just so much to look forward to. And in the beginning of the year, they looked like the team we all knew they could be. But for some reason or another, after the Flyers had to hit the pause button on their season due to the 'Rona, this team has fucking sucked. Plain and simple, this team is ass. This past weekend was another example of how far this team is from being a legitimate contender after they got shit pumped by the Caps on Saturday and lost the most boring 1-0 OT game in the history of hockey to the Islanders yesterday. It's at the point where this team is unwatchable.
Except, of course, for Wade Allison.
Look at this kid go. He's incredible. It's everything you'd want to see out of a guy getting his first call up to the Show. Ripping some salts with the boys. Double fisting on the bench.
Taking a no bucky hot lap in his first NHL appearance, letting the luscious ginger lettuce flap behind him in the wind.
He also scored his first career goal over the weekend.
So just as I was about to be all the way out on the Flyers, they call up Wade Allison and now I'm all the way back in. This team might be a disaster that is in major need of a roster overhaul, but the Ace of Wades can stay. This moment right here will be the only one I remember from the 2021 Philadelphia Flyers season, as I suppress the rest of the year deep into the darkest depths of my soul.
Kid is going to be a stallion. You can tell he just has it. The rest of this team has gotten stale. They're all married with kids. The Flyers need a young stud like Wade Allison who is going to come into the locker room every morning with some stories for the boys to get that morale back up. He's the exact type of energy this team needs to be injected with. Just sucks it took them so long to call him up.
