OccamsRazor Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 So is he now?No.But i he has earned the next start. Mason can get the 2nd start in the back to back. Go with the hot hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Flyers Goalie Controversy Of 2015-2016. The year would not be complete without one. Mason is your #1 from now until he loses the job. Neuverth is a solid backup (with a hot hand).Something the flyers haven't had in years: Two goalies that can steal a game. It's a warm, cozy feeling of goodness.

Bertmega Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have to say Mason is the true starter until he completely craps the bed (if that happens). What ever is bothering him in life that has him out of the line up does not need to be amplified with a bonafide goalie controversy. I hope the media does not create unnecessary turmoil. But I have to agree with @Digityman, it is refreshing to have two very capable goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Absolutely. Keep Neuvirth as our #1, he's been great. Why fix what isn't broken? When Mason returns, let him earn his job back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 agree with above....Mason is our #1 goalie. However, you have the ride the hot hand for now. Give Neuverth one more start. Again agree with @Digityman.... it nice to have a solid back-up who can come in a pinch and steal a game or two for ya. What a refreshing idea for a change.

mojo1917 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I remember seeing Neuvirth dominate in the AHL when he was in Hershey...man among boys stuff.So i am not surprised by his play, i thought he had #1 ability and have been surprised he hasn't put it together in the NHL, yet I don't think Mason should lose his job as the starter, until his play warrants it, which i hope does not happen. If that does happen though i think the Flyers are in good shape with MN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheslot Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Can't take him out until somebody scores on him ..... Mase meet the bench .. . Mase is still the #1 but not right now... !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Back-to-back after the break. I'd go with Neuvirth against Dallas and then Mason at Boston and vs. the Rangers at home. I could see this getting split more 50/30 than 60/20, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this getting split more 50/30 than 60/20, though.I'd go Neuvirth vs. Dallas, Mason at Boston and then Neuvirth vs. the Rangers. I just have a gut feeling we'd have a better shot versus New York with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a gut feeling we'd have a better shot versus New York with him. A lot has to do with how Mason looks in his return, obviously, but I do concur with folks that he is the #1 and should go against the division rival. That said, if Neuvirth shuts out Dallas...

swflyers28 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Mason is 1a and Neuvirth is 1b. Any team would love to have this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFlyerFan Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 No doubt Nueverth is hot right now. Right now is the key part of that sentence. There's a reason the Caps let him go. He was hot for a while there and then... That said, why not play him until he implodes? He was spectacular last night against Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 So i am not surprised by his play, i thought he had #1 ability and have been surprised he hasn't put it together in the NHL, yet I thought he was good when he was with the Caps. But they were stacked with good young goalies (Varlamov, Holtby) and you can't blame them for going with Holtby. In Buffalo I think he was a victim of the "McEichel insurance plan."

flyercanuck Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Mason has been the best goalie we've had since....early Hextall? He has one bad game due to some personal problem and , well, do we really need to ask who the #1 is? Glad Neuvrith is playing well. But there's a shortage of true #1 goalies in the NHL, and if he was one, he wouldn't be backing up mason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakanekimiwa Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Kudos to Hexy. I knew Neuvy from my fantasy team last year when I noticed that he had good numbers on a horrid team. He took a lot of rubber and almost always gave a solid effort. I was very happy when he was picked for our backup and I think he's showing why Hexy chose him. He's a great backup. He may also have some starter in him too, but he was brought here for backup and that's where he should play. Having said that, you always ride the hot hand in net. Keep him in until he has a bit of a letdown... which.. he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That said, if Neuvirth shuts out Dallas...You read my mind....not that its hard to do you must have a powerful microscope! However it would be a good problem to have once again you may have to keep the hot hand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 He was spectacular last night against Chicago.He was lucky on a couple of bounces too. The guy has played out of this world but when was the last time you saw every bounce at the goal go IN the flyers favor? MN deserves a chance to keep his shutout streak going as long as he can but Mason is still the number 1 goalie. I don't mind Mason having some time to get his head right before he returns though......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Mason has earned the right to be the #1 and Neuvirth has earned the right to keep playing. Based on the way he is playing now, Mason shouldn't feel rushed to return to the team, which I am sure he would have thought about doing if the Flyers had Garbage for a back-up. Give Neuvirth the next start and go from there, just let Mase know the net is waiting for him when he is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it's well understood - inside the organization at least - that Mason is the #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Knut Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 So is he now? Was Boucher Phoenix's #1 when he set the record for consecutive minutes of Shut Out Hockey and the Hall of Fame came and took his pads to consecrate them for all history?
