He is already 28 and well just nothing ore than a AHL journeyman. Plus they have Zane McIntyre on an AHL contract only and actually played better in the AHL than Lyon ever has plus he is bigger and i think a better break glass in case of emergency type goalie than Lyon. Zane has stole the crease in LV this year going 6-1-1 with a 922% 2.29 gaa. Lyon this year in LV has a 874% with the same squad. So meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyon has played 4 periods of AHL hockey in the last calendar year. Plus, a whopping 16 games in the previous 3...not the largest sample size. I will not disagree that he is a NHL/AHL tweener at best. But also, the year he played the most games he had his best season. He is a battler. I think he might find himself coaching the position if he wants to stay in hockey. He's an interesting cat, every interview I've heard with him he really sounds like a student of the position and game. He's a cerebral guy and studies the position looking for areas where he can improve. I think he's maxed out his talent though, lots of times those guys do wind up making pretty okay coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is maxed out and well next year the Phantoms needs to be Ustimenko's and Ersson's crease. Flyers could look to move Sandstrom if they don't lose him to the Kraken. Whatever happens to Lyon I am good with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 i'm now wondering if these seemingly random benchings (while the whole team could be faulted) are signs of a bigger, internal strife we don't know about. As I said to a friend earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the players rebel and completely quit on the team tonight for the ugliest loss of the season (and that's something after the 9-0 rangers game).

Maybe they need rest since we know what they have been through to be here. I'm going to try and hit the reset with Patrick and hope we see something soon. I just want to see them skate like they want it more for just one 60 minute span. Once. Then go from there. Got to start the best lineup regardless of age or pay. Way i see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 why do you bench players? To send a message, or prepare them for a move. Possibly because you have nothing to lose, so you want to see some other guys in game situations. Given the state of the team, and the current wiving of Ghost, these benchings might have more significance than just a kick in the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 17-2-2 vs the Sabres ... but Elliot is prob close to the edge of breaking down by now. Can’t fault him for that one...deflection by Braun....but I thought maybe they should’ve rested Elliot tonight and let Lyon see some action.
