In a recent episode of the
"32 Thoughts"
podcast, Elliotte Friedman, a respected NHL reporter and insider at Sportsnet, dropped a prediction that has turned heads in the hockey world. While discussing the Eastern Conference's competitive landscape, Friedman offered a surprisingly optimistic outlook for the Philadelphia Flyers' upcoming season.

The conversation kicked off with Friedman acknowledging that the East doesn't seem to have many teams that could be labeled as "not good." It's a fair point given the level of competition in the conference.
His podcast partner, Jeff Marek, chimed in with his perspective, suggesting that the San Jose Sharks are likely to struggle this season, a notion consistent with their ongoing rebuilding efforts. However, Marek wasn't as quick to cast doubt on the Flyers' potential.
Friedman, on the other hand, took a different stance. He argued that there might be more teams in the Western Conference facing challenging times, indicating that the Flyers could emerge as a competitive force.

Marek: «I think San Jose is going to be a bad team, but that's okay that's what they're supposed to beI just don't know if Philadelphia is bad enough.»

Friedman: «I think there is more bad teams in the West than there are in the EastPhiladelphia I think they're gonna compete betterI think they made some changes to be better, but they're just starting over, and everyone in their division is better than they're. Who are they gonna beat?»
