The big winning streak might just be what gets them in in a tough race. Columbus is on fire. Will be interesting to see what happens tonight in Edmonton 19 -11 (now) isn't horrible. The start they got off to was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then we'll be back to no confidence Mason. I do think they've been playing Mason too much, and that's going to have to stop. But alternating will just destroy Mason. He's a guy who has to play. Why not alternate? They have Nash. Which Stolie could play then back to back Caps play Mase and then NJD play Stolie then a break. Then the Blues 1st game back and then Neuvy should be ready i think. Alternating ain't going to crack Mase. And if it does i'd rather know. It would be a red flag for sure when it comes to resigning. But i don't believe in coddling.

hf101 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I didn't get to see the game either, but watched the highlights here. Niemi had a great game as the Flyers had numerous quality rushes and shots on net. If Provorov nails one of those two shots that hit the post / crossbar --- this game goes to OT. There is no fault to Mason in this game. He'll be out there on Monday vs Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason's rebound control was non-existent yesterday. Shot after shot bounced off him and went back into play. Thankfully the Flyers' Team D has improved quite a bit lately otherwise this would've been a shellacking. Mason wasn't the reason they lost but he certainly contributed to it. Who knows, a few more stoppages where the guys get to rest instead of scramble...maybe that makes a difference in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had only a couple of bad rebounds, most of them appeared to be steered towards his d-men. Mason doesn't deserve to take the blame for this at all. Niemi should be credited with stealing this game. It is a lot easier to watch them lose a game when that amount of effort is shown. Time to kick off the next winning streak in Nashville. And yes, Roussel is still a grade a douchebag.

He struggled with it last game gave up 2 goals off his nasty rebounds. They despite him. The Dallas game caugt up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But otherwise, he kept the Flyers in the game in stretches. Eh, you're going to lose some. They played well enough they could have won. They didn't. I'll take it and move on.

ruxpin Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 There is no reason to alternate goalies. That i can think of, only two teams do it: Dallas (because both goalies suck) and Pittsburgh (because a young goalie is stealing #1 from an expensive vet. The rotation won't last in Pittsburgh-s case. No reason to do it with a #1 and an emergency call up. Play one of the back to backs? Sure. But not a steady alternation. You're only going to badly mess up Mason, who doesn't do well in goalie competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilsFanDrew Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 As others have said a goalie rotation is a bad idea. I certainly don't want a situation like last year where Mason played every game down the stretch and got burnt out by the start of the Playoffs. But I think Stolarz has at least shown them that they wouldn't have to go that route if either Mason or Neuvy were to go down towards the end of the year.
