All right, Chase, you said you're getting more excited for the season.

This time of year, I just start to really get excited for it, start feeling good.

Hockey's back.

But they have to be better, right?

Like, that's the thing I'm excited about is no matter what, I feel like they have to be better.

Is that what you're feeling about this Flyers team?

No, they don't have to be.

I'd really like them to be.

But as far as them having to be, no.

But I think they will be better than they've been the last year.

Or maybe even two years. I mean, two years ago, they knocked on the door year or maybe even two years.

I mean, two years ago, they knocked on the door of the playoffs and ended up not getting

in in game 82 against Washington when Washington scored in the second period with a

with the flyers at a pull goalie, you know.

So do they have to be better?

No.

But when you look at some of the key positions and where they were last year, comparatively speaking,

and just from a talent standpoint, they better be better because they have more talent.

They better be better because I think their goaltending is more sound.

And the, you know, the big key to it all is that they've got a new coach.

And, you know, although I love torts, I think he was a complicated man.

With this new coach and this added talent, they better be better.
