After every win this season, The Flyers have been giving out the Rick Flair Nature Boy robe to the player of the game. This has been documented across various forms of social media and I am suffering from a wild case of Please Like My Sport, so please allow me to introduce The Philadelphia Flyers Nature Boy Robe Bracket.
These have all been seeded by BSH members, our number one and two picks per “region” all have first round BYE, as does Nolan Patrick because, well, he’s Nolan Patrick. The rest is up to the community. I’ll count votes on Twitter and polls on this here website and have new battles for every round until we decide who the true Nature Boy really is.
Here’s the full bracket:
