Maybe Charlie can summon the courage to ask Torts why his make-a-wish PP coach is allowed to do anything other than carry his lunch.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

0 for last 30 on the Powerplay

Rocky will still be back next season too

Amazing. But I guess results don’t matter. That is accountability.

 

[sbhnur]

Fedotov not pulled today.

 

[tymed]

Ive been checked out recently. Is Drysdale good now? When did that happen?

He's been our most notable defenceman since the 4 Nations.

 

[trostol]

lol doesnt JJ do Phillies games some times and says they are getting close..they've gone out earlier each year lol

 

[GKJ]

Fedotov not pulled today.

He was already pulled yesterday

 

[trostol]

also how is it only the 2nd period..which feels like it has been on forever

 

[kudymen]

Jamey accidentally makes a quality tweet. (second paragraph) Who knew?

 

[Tripod]

So Chicsgo scored more PP goals in 7 minutes than the Flyers have scored this month?

Wow

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This has been the most boring 10 goal two periods I have ever watched.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

If they keep it up and lose this one, I think we can all exhale and just fairly assume that no late season push to ruin their lottery position is happening. You lose to the Blackhawks, I don't think there's any hope left.

 

[tymed]

Rocky will be gone soon enough.

When he goes, we should be thanking him for his services.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

0 for the last 30 on the PP. But Rocky has been trying really hard guys.

[ybnvs]

Is Drysdale good now? When did that happen?

No. Flukey goal. A quick shot from point at TK/defender about 10 feet above crease and bounced off the wrist/forearm of defender and in.

His assist is a similar play off a draw quick shot from the point and TK got the deflection for the goal.

 

[kudymen]

71 games. Only 22 with at least 1 PP goal for. (LOL!!!! Every 3rd game!!!)
Last PP goal on the 27th of FEB.

Data per nhl.com

I brought this up a couple of times, but it's increasingly looking like the most immediate thing the Flyers are going to have to address is the goaltending. They absolutely cannot come back with both of these guys. Even if it's another tank year. It would be very rich that after having Peterson's contract expire, they're still going to have to have dead money should they manage to move Fedotov in a cap dump.

They're going to have to send Fedotov to the Phantoms. If he bails back to Russia, so be it.

He's not an NHL goaltender and he knows it.

Ersson/Kolosov isn't going to work as a tandem, either. Hopefully they don't spend Petersen money on a Petersen-caliber goalie.

I would have been happy with Vejmelka. Quite happy.

As would I have been with Askarov, but Briere blew it on that one.

I’m not a fan of punting the position, even in a rebuild but the FA class is piss poor.

Allen might be available. Andersen. I’ve always liked Gibson talent wise, but having to spend assets for another cripple… Swear he’s got some kind of NTC in his last deal.

If the Flyers think they can be negligent when it comes to goaltending, and have a hope in hell the next few years it will be cute to watch. Not nearly enough talent to cheapen out on the position.

 

[iceman42]

Sooooooo how long do we have Fedotov?

 

[trostol]

Bedard doesn't look old enough to drive to hockey games by himself lol

I do think both would have a better sv% on a normal team...

None of the 3 goalies actually have even a .900 EXPECTED sv% in terms of public models... now, all 3 have been below expected, but still, Flyers D play in a way that suppresses shots but not scoring chances...

If Ersson had played at Vezina level ~+1.5 dfsv%? He would be at around .905... and would get zero Vezina votes because of the type of shots they allow.

I have also heard from a few sources that the backend data from non-public sources that some teams use says that actually the Flyers expected sv%s are even lower than public models.

They shouldn't have to spend a ton of money on any one they absolutely have to commit to. It would be different if they were playing higher in the standings. Whether it's taking a chance on someone that someone else is looking to move or just a free agent. Hell, they can bring back Alex Lyon and be reasonably confident you'll get a .900% goaltender, he's been better than that every season since he's left.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

What is Fedotov doing?

 

[bennysflyers16]

MORE !!!!!!

Too bad this wasn’t a home game.
