Howie58 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Greetings: Florida is favored (-160), with both teams on the second of back-to-backs: https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/florida-philadelphia-odds-march-24-2024-2020404 We've taken the first two games of the season, 2-1. Statistically, they are nearly as good as we are on the PK, and better on just about every stat: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/fla-vs-phi/2024/03/24/2023021129 If we play tight, "Flyers Hockey," this squad can compete with any team. Bobo is slated to start against the Rangers on 3/23. Someone named Anthony Stolarz (ha!) is his backup. Take a gander at these stats, at $1.1 million salary: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/s/stolaan01.html We do a wonderful job drafting goalies for other teams!

GratefulFlyers Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 heard a bit of the studio guys postgame yesterday and both Hartnell and the other guy said "you have to" start Ersson today. I don't doubt he gives the Flyers a better chance than Sandstrom but I'd be surprised if it's Ersson again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am wrong and I am still watching the game but in my mind this is a loss because of Sandstrom in net. He would have trouble stopping a freakin beach ball……… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) What a surprise...Sandstrom "would like to have that one back" ... hopefully that's the only softie today but I wouldn't bet on it. Great to see Foerster go right at Tkachuk for that cheapshot trip after the horn. edit: Oh jeez they can't be serious - a Cats' PP after Tkachuk started the whole thing? That's is some shabby officiating. And Tarasenko scores .... love the Power Kill but sometimes ... burned them on that one...

Howie58 Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 (edited) Call up Gahagen! We have super-abundant evidence that Sandstrom is not an NHL goalie. I'd rather see a Zepper type than him. How must teammates feel when a guy with a 4.0+ GAA starts? Get him out of the picture. Thank the Lord his contract expires this year!

Seeing how Hart is no longer in the picture, dumping peterson and Sandstrom is a no brainer. Stolarz and Errson would be a pretty decent tandem going forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Sandstrom is a disaster. That 3rd goal was a backbreaker. Torts was disgusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Verhaeghe scores the backbreaker- and it's another one "Sandstrom would like to have back" ... 2 soft goals out of 3 ... Meanwhile the Flyers keep missing the net every other shot... if they hit the cage Stolarz comes up with a big save. Frustrating game... edit: PP goal 6-on-4 ... nice to get one but it feels like Sandstrom will give up another softie before it's over. OMG Poehling wide open net ... unbelievable . That was the story of the Flyers' night in one play right there. Edited March 25 by GratefulFlyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as he's off the ice they score... sure why not Reinhardt gets his 50th... I hate to blame the goalie when you only score 1 goal but if Sandstrom makes that first save...feels like this was a winnable game with better goaltending.

I am developing an Andrew MacDonald level of hate for Sandstrom. Cechmanek’s corpse would be more effective as goal tender……I am 57 years old and crippled and could possibly carry an .829 save percentage.

They traded their top 10 pick pick this past offseason and their best goalie from that draft got stolen from them for Russia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Not adding a second viable goalie will be the nail in the coffin for this club. I don't think they'll play Ersson 10 games in a row and Washington is red hot. Once again, not the end of the world if the team doesn't make the playoffs, but this will be something that will have to be addressed in the offseason. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Petersen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
