Tired of all the posts glazing the same old bozo’s.
Who do you think were the WORST all time Flyers for one reason or another?
(I know we’ve done this before)

I know he isn’t the worst but I still have nightmares of scoring a goal and seeing Vandevelde going out for the flyers during the Hakstol era.
Billy Tibbets.
An honorable mention for Ryan Ellis?
Zac Rinaldo has to be up there
also the other goon we had right before him
Andrew fucking MacDonald
Yandle, bryzgolov. Homer blowing up a stanley cup final team, trading bobrovsky.
Bryzgalof
In the ~20 years I’ve been watching, Keith Yandles brief stint with the Flyers was the worst player I’ve seen a guy play in the orange and black
Keith Yandel , seriously
Jesse Boulerice
Jori Lethera
Matt Read
Recent players who regularly played: Chris VandeVelde, AMac, Medvedev, Colaiacovo, Brandon Manning, Lethera, Yandle
Chris Gratton. The hoopla over his signing was so over the top. He scored one playoff goal and sucked completely.
Tony Amonte
Macdonald and Streit. I know his (Streit’s) knees were shot, but I painfully remember him trying to go from forward to backward skating, or vice versa, and shaking my head as he got burned. Him and Macdonald were agonizing. Like, you could feel a goal against coming at times.
Worst as in how?
Like talent wise we’ve have a bunch of no names come and go with no fanfare. Cup of coffee and never came back. See David Kase or a recent example. Or a guy who came here and was just dead weight like Mike Rathje
Worst as in a bad person? Chris Simon is up there, but we just drafted him. We’ve actually lucked out in having a lot of guys hated on the ice but not a lot off. My company works with the flyers alumni for charity (non profit) and Schultz and Clarke were dicks every time. But that’s just to me, not fair to call them hated by everyone that’s met em. (Riley Cote and Joe Watson are two of the coolest ex flyers ever though)
Worst as in hated on the ice? Probably pronger or carcillo
Worst as in biggest letdown? Probably Pat Falloon, Nolan Patrick, or Vinny LeCavalier
There’s an entire highlight reel of the Flyers going at Friedman. My personal favorite was Jones chuckling when Ghost put him into the boards after an empty-netter.
