Super-TheFragileerkstonSuper-ok so maybe if mason can recover from his injury the flyers can win but if not oh well dream is dead rip
goaltending was definitely not the reason for the loss
The truth that 99% of Flyers fans don't want to admit for almost 15 years now.
in some situations, its the lack of hustling or lack of taking shots on net, but sometimes like the hurricanes game, when you let 3 goals through the five hole, it gets a little ridiculous at some points. is it too late to take back bernie parent?
It's not that letting a goal in through five-hole is embarrassing or should never happen.
The Flyers have had very good offense for a very long time, and actually very good goaltending as well. Their defense is what kills them. Their defense is laughable, which is why you see their goalies get shit on. If you put any top 3 goalie in the Philadelphia net, I promise you'll see a very similar result to what's happening to them now.
Bobrovsky is an integral part of Columbus, Emery (when he got traded to Chicago) set an NHL record and won a cup with Chicago, and Bryzgalov is making Minnesota a very real threat. Yet, I didn't hear one good thing about any of them in Philadelphia because their fans are so painfully critical of their goalies. Though with the Bobrovsky, Emery, and Bryzgalov examples I just gave above, what do all of those teams have in common?
A solid defense.
Oh, and when Philadelphia picked up Pronger, they almost won a cup the same year. Then he got injured, and then they fell off. Hm, weird.
