Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CX: That's A Lot.

[BernieParent]

I haven't seen it before. Probably because the Flyers blow so bad there's nothing to celebrate.

I am just surprised this didn't happen against the Flyers, as it seems so many milestones do.

It’s time to give it up on the hair.

Is that the puck on his forehead already?

 

[Beef Invictus]

I remember certain people telling me I was insane for thinking the org gave up on this guy way too fast, and that rewarding shutouts with demotion was questionable.

I mean, goalies are total voodoo...but the guy never gave any reason on the ice to quit on him. I actually like the long look Ersson is being given, and hopefully Tortorella's outdated system that has always left goalies under siege and required HOF performances to overcome is taken into account. It's a shame they refused to do anything like that with Stolarz.

I was also very high on Stolarz. Always looked better in the NHL than he did with the Phantoms. Played as well as you could have asked a young goalie to play whenever called up, yet the organization never seemed interested in developing him at all. He now has a .916 Save % over his 8 year career.

You got your three starts, guy. But ya can’t win in this league by stopping all the opposition shots. Pack your fancy bags.

Stolarz cost less after winning the Cup last summer than Fedotov!

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I think some fans are quick to give up patience on a young goaltender. I think this organization will probably give up on Ersson as well. I can see both sides of the argument but he really is in a lose/lose situation with what is in front of him. Yes he could of been better this season but he was in a tough spot.

Blow Dry Island.

 

[Curufinwe]

All these nights without the Flyers playing are bliss

 

[zizbuka]

Guess Lycksell didn't warrant his own thread? Was this a move to send him down, or is he looking elsewhere? Hope he gets out of this shit hole.

This sounds ridiculous, but it was the turning point for me. It was the first crack that showed me that they didn’t understand the assignment. He showed enough and we would have had a dirt cheap tandem. Could have used that extra coin to nab a big fish. Ended up with Kevin f***ing Hayes. f***ing hell.

[DancingPanther]

Holy f***

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

A new add for the "Tricky" commercial! Wow.

Seriously though, if I'm ESP on roller skates with a ball and my ole trusty Mylec stick? Piece of cake.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Former NHL goalie turned broadcaster, Greg Millen, passed away today.

I think he was still calling games for Sportsnet this season.

 

[trostol]

Torts would bench him for that

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Cutter Gauthier scored twice. Ducks lead the Oilers 2-1. I am somehow happy.




















Feels wrong.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Annnnnnd just like that it's 3-1 Ducks. Will McDavid and Draisatl be available for the first round in the play-offs?

Would be awesome if their first rounder becomes an early 20ish pick.

 

[BillDineen]

Kraken win in LA!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Bouchard hits the post with 5 seconds left... and the Ducks hold on.

Two good, unexpected results for the Flyers tonight.

 

[Appleyard]

Such an Eric Lindros type thing to do.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Isaac Howard hasn't signed with Tampa. Could be one of those players that goes to free agency next year.

Would be the third player from that US team not to sign with the team that drafted them.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

But actually...

You're cheating the game, Quinton.
