JackStraw Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 With all the excitement about goalies recently, I was moved to do a little research. Here is a list of (I think) every goalie the Flyers have ever drafted (including the '67 expansion draft), the round the player was drafted in, and the number of games the guy played for the Flyers. This is not really fun reading...2005: Jeremy Duchesne R4, 1GP2004: Martin Houle R8, 1GP2000: Roman Cechmanek R6, 163GP1999: Maxime Ouellet R1, 2GP1998: Antero Niittymaki R6, 161GP1997: Jean-Marc Pelletier R2, 1GP1995: Brian Boucher R1, 174 GP1994: Johan Hedberg R9, 0GP1991: Neil Little R11, 2GP1990: Tommy Soderstrom R11, 78GP1988: Dominic Roussel R3, 139GP1982: Ron Hextall R6, 489GP1979: Pelle Lindbergh R2, 157GP1977: Pete Peeters: R8, 179GP1975: Rick St. Croix: R4, 82GP1974: Reggie Lemelin: R7, 0GP1969: Michel Belhumeur: R4, 23GP1967: Bernie Parent (expansion draft) 486GP1967: Doug Favell (expansion draft) 215GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent05 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 @JackStrawIt's a sad list to read really, more embarrassing to be correct. I wonder if there's any other team that is like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 @Vincent05 - there isn't much to be proud of that's for sure. Not recently anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 3 decent entry picks in the whole lot, Hexy Pelle and Peeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I can honestly say I'm at piece with Philly goaltending for the summer. That's not to say I'm satisfied with what we have....but my wife says I'm not punching the pillow in my sleep while yelling "Stop ONE @#$%ing breakaway and STFU!!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Forget the 6'1" bs...we clearly need a goalie who's last name starts with "A", "K", "Q", "U" "X" or "Z" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The title of this threw me off as well... When i saw "Appreciation" i laughed b/c there really aren't many to really appreciate (3). I can appreciate them for their suckage over the years as well as some of the personality quirks - Roman anf Bryz...That list is sad...

mojo1917 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I appreciate that they all have sucked.that's really been a lot of fun over the years... never knowing when the crippling soft goal was going to come but knowing it was indeed imminent.

The slow roller by VanBreezer against the Leafs in Game six of our series comes to mind. I cringe thinking about that to this day. Otherwise, an outstanding series by Johnny, but that sofite hurt more than any other one....except Leaky Leighton of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan4ever Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 We found "Bob" didn't we? Just because we screwed the pooch on that whole situation doesn't mean he wasn't a good find and could've been a heck of a tender for a long time......oh well.......

ctid Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nitty deserves some credit...always felt he was never really given a real chance at the number 1 job. Stevens would always rotate him and not allow him to play enough games in a row to get into a real groove.Still remember that game against the caps, where he stood on his head...Caps had something along the lines of 20 shots in the first period and Nitty stood tall.
