I have never been a fan of retiring any number in any sport it's just a number you can put it up to honor the player but no one should own a number just my opinion nothing more many won't agree and that is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Has anyone asked if he is a Communist? Is he a Putin supporter? Are we pragmatic and say it's irrelevant if he can stop pucks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand retiring Gretzky/Orr/Howe/Lemieux, heck, even Clarke. Dustin Brown? Shane Doan? Rick Nash? All good players, but retired numbers? Wayne Huizenga????

I imagine due to having family members still there he HAS to like Putin...or at least pretend to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I wonder what his first start is? Sandstrom is off the roster: https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/ivan-fedotov-flyers-khl-cska-moscow/ Playing against Chicago might not be too bad. On paper, they should be less challenging. That's one man's opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I think this man's life is worthy of a book or Netflix series...conscripted into the Russian Army, served in the gulags. returns to hockey, somehow appears back with the north American team that drafted him after 3 years of little to no contact. It's crazy. The Flyers have been a high-event hockey organization since they mounted the coup d'etat of the Scott/Fletcher/Camillo regime. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Well, if Sandy is off the roster, we are getting an unsurprising signal--his days with the parent club are nearing their end. On a larger note, when posting the game threads, I seldom see other rosters with starting goalies under .900 save percentage. That doesn't apply to the Flyers. And on a broader note, our plus/minus differential is heading south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were high event then...just for all the wrong reasons. Hopefully one of these guys pans out, you can never have too many goalies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Danny said sandstrom had to come off the roster due to the emergency call up provision bc of the Hart situation. To put Fedotov on the roster, Felix had to come off. It wasn’t an instant rebuke of Sandstrom although his play has been poor and unreliable and in general unlikeable, although I’m sure he’s a good guy but I said that about Hart too so who knows anymore. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after 30 NHL games, the numbers aren't very impressive: https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=176325 4-18-4, 3.66 GAA, .880 Save Percentage. Granted, he wasn't playing for the greatest of teams, and often got the second of back-to-backs, but there's probably enough games to sense he should move on.

flyerrod Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Don’t hate Sandstrom as a person but he has sucked balls as a player. It is not his or Peterson’s fault that they do not belong in the NHL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
