I guess Mason has cramps and bloating ..??

Yeah what gives.....

 

Figures, we get a legit 1-2 in goal and I'm STILL feeling like there is "controversy" at that position.

 

So who is our #1 these days?! Nuevy? Not like he played "lights out" against the canes so why another start? Mason have Cramps or did he tweak something? Is he #1 or #2? All questions I have of the Flyers coaches/managers right now....Ugh.

His leg cramped up the other night when he was replaced by Neuvy and i guess isn't completely recovered from it yet. Was one of the reason i suggested holding onto Neuvy because i would imagine Mason will be in and out next year too.

I'm calling a 5-3 Flyer win tonight. Must have it!

It was just bad bounces and a hot goalie that caused the Flyers to lose a game in which they played well:56cd9dc70e2e2_smallTM:

Neuvirth starting again.

 

Wow.... I thought Neuvy was sitting tonight after the last game.  He was not very good and thought Mason would get the start.  It is nice to finally have 2 goalies that are capable.

 

In your other post about must wins - completely agree.  They need to win these next 2 to even have a sliver of hope.

Yeah they are only 5 points out so it's within reach but damn they have to string together some damn wins.

not an easy schedule after the deadline either....

 

 

Yes it will require the grace of God for this club to make the playoffs..................i stick by my predictions...the true meaning of mediocre is this team...they will finish as the 9th seed in the East i just know it. Just enough to slide in draft value but not good enough to make the dance.

LOL... I am right with you FC.   

 

It would be nice to have playoff hockey but I really do not see them making the cut.

 

 

Patience..it'll come. 

 

There's just really no point in it with that D.

I don't think it matters they can give 100% which i think they have but no matter at the end of the day their best just isn't good enough....they will be on the inside looking out...and mostly just like you say because of this defense.

 

They only keepers to me is Ghost and MDZ (who is done for the year) and maybe i would keep Medvedev (but Hak doesn't like him) so any team that looks a the lineup and sees Streit and Schultz as the 2nd pair must just be licking their chops at the thought of that.

 

9th seed here they come!!!!!!!!!

just thinking of the maple leafs should be everyone's coping mechanism when they have lost all hope in their team...
