The Flyers chose and signed these goaltenders. They did but lets not forget this was all brought about by a very poor decision one Mr. Hart made several years ago ...(yes I know ... innocent until proven guilty ..but the damage has been done) Now mind you .... the Sharks did not give up a tremendous amount to obtain Askarov. The Sharks acquired Askarov, Nolan Burke, and a 2025 3rd round pick from the Preds for Magnus Chroma, David Edstrom, and a 2025 1st round pick. Supposedly the Flyers were in the rumor mill for Askarov, but some have speculated they didn't pull the trigger because the Flyers top brass believed in Errson which is just dumb. Askarov is heralded as the top Goalie prospect in the NHL. If there is an opportunity to get him, you go after him. Especially when Nash. extended Saros's contract. In addition the Flyers made a commitment to Fedotov. Again supposedly the Preds asking price was too much for the Flyers .... I would love to know what the ask was ....... Askarov will be head and shoulders better than what the Flyers currently have. Again it seems like the Flyers are trying to outsmart everyone. I will not be surprised one bit if the Sharks are a legit contender before the Flyers ....... So yes ... you are right ....the Flyers "chose" the bed they made with Errson / Fedotov / Koslov. The Flyers should have acquired Askarov and jettisoned one of the others ..... Quote

Having someone like Askarov in the system would be off the chart. At the same time, with Zavragin in the system, it's certainly an Askarov-esque prospect that works give the club flexibility in terms of goalie development and trade material. 1 Quote

SCFlyguy Posted January 10 Posted January 10 It would be malpractice not to trade Scott Laughton for a 1st round pick. 1 Quote
Samifan Posted January 12 Posted January 12 With his shutout last night, Ersson’s SV % has climbed to .888% Quote

(again sarcasm font) Only the Preds have scored less goals this year ........ Quote

And, for that matter, may never. Is Fedotov "figuring it out"? Ersson seems unfortunately injury prone and tends to give up that extra goal like on the Island tonight. That can affect a GAA. The SV% is another thing. If Fedotov turns into Tim Thomas, Briere is a genius. If he's Mikko Koskinen, not so much. I suspect the truth is in between. 2 Quote
mojo1917 Posted Friday at 01:30 PM Posted Friday at 01:30 PM @radoran the goal to Barzal was ill timed but understandable I think. 13 had Horvat driving the far post, so 33 couldn’t come out very far to take away the angle, I thought that goal was a good play off the rush by good players. but the point about the extra goal is well made and taken 1 Quote

Not faulting him on it, per se, but it is the difference between a 2.X0 and a 3.X0 GAA. And, again, it's more the .878 I'm looking at in this scenario. It's perfectly fine if none of the three netminders currently on the roster are "the answer." 1 Quote

I think he was around 28 when we signed him. He was real good for a few years until he got fed up with his crappy defensemen and criticized them on the ice. Quote

Wasn't the defensemen he was mad at (and the Flyers had a legit good defense when Cechmanek was goalie). It was a series against Ottawa and the Flyers couldn't buy a goal that he lost his crap. He was notoriously tough, but when said goalie was sporting a sub 2 gaa and .920 save percentage, you can throw your teammates under the bus if they aren't doing their part. 1 Quote

Yes , I think you are right. It switches back and forth over the years. I’m too traumatized after years of suffering to recall , but it usually goes from cant buy a goal to the defense is horrible. The most consistent thing was piss poor goaltending with a few solid years here and there. I do remember Cecmanek having a few good years and Esche having one .I do recall there was a game a few years ago when Sanheim and Meyers were twin turnstiles and both were a - 5. Quote

Specifically, the team set an NHL record for futility in a five game series and scored two goals. They also won a game. The goal scorers? Jeremy Roenick? Mark Recchi? Simon Gagne? Keith Primeau? No. Ruslan Fedotenko and Dan McGillis. Cechmanek put up 1.86/.936 over four games, won a game, and got the blame for the team quitting on Barber. That core would go on to the Conference Final two years later, lose, and then fade into memory after the lockout. Good times. #flyerhockey Quote
