Put Your Faith In The Philadelphia Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers have split their first two games of the season, and are generally not considered a serious Stanley Cup contender. But worry not: They totally get along as a team. They even do team-building exercises.

Actually, they're more like Lego-building exercises.

The Philadelphia Flyers spent two days in Whistler performing that most empty of corporate, soul-sucking BS: teambuilding. They even worked together connecting hundreds of Lego pieces in an attempt to define their unity as a team. Lego pieces. To define their unity as team. Somewhere, a human resources professional named Mindy is extremely aroused.

We love — LOVE — the idea of sports teams going off on Unity Building Corporate Retreats. Seriously, who wouldn't want to see Shaq do a trust fall?
