This has trap game written all over it. It really does. Not sure I can even watch this one.

why is lyon on the bench anyways? I would rather have tokarski called up, so A) Lyon can keep playing B) tokarski can be a servicable NHL backup. Remember the playoffs for MTL. ? and also does anyone have any info when Stolarz will be back? This is injury sure could effect his career in Philadelphia...
I was just looking for a all purpose goalie thread for 17-18 earlier today and I couldn’t find one.
My only guess would be that because Lyon has been struggling, they are hoping some work with Dillabaugh can help get him back on track.

They messed up stolie last year by bringing him up and sitting on the bench for a month. It isn’t a issue now because it has only been a week, but If Hak/Hexy have no plan on starting Lyon then it wouldn’t be a bad thing to bring up Tokarski and let Lyon get some burn in the AHL. Or even rotate them so that Lyon can play at least one game a week.

I think they’ve shown at this point they’re not too concerned with players sitting. When it comes to goalies practice time is more beneficial than your forwards & defensemen. Neuvirth isn’t expected to be out much longer at this point anyway.

I'll actually be able to see most of this one so if we lose it's my fault

It depends. Are we rooting for losses or wins now? I’m so f***ing confused! I root for some goals and not boring hockey, but I don’t know anymore!

There's no way Lyon should get a start right now. The only way he should play is if Elliott gets hurt or lit up. The Flyers are in no position to fool around.

Wins!
They're only 2 wins behind the last wildcard spot with 1 game in hand. Imagine, 10 game win streak and no playoffs, then the next year a 10 game losing streak and playoffs.

But if we make the playoffs, Hak never leaves. Zero chance, even if it wasn't likely anyway, but we could be talking years. This team is too stupid to evaluate beyond wins and losses. But I want to root for them to win in my heart. It's tough!
I choose ambivalence, as usual.
Not even an option, brah.

The terms used from the outset were "cautious" and "indefinitely" in describing the injury to Stolarz. There hasn't been a timetable provided. There hasn't been any updated info since.

I'm still rooting for losses. Only about 20% chance of making the playoffs according to models I've seen. Plus most importantly, f*** Dave Hakstol. Run this f***er out of town.
However, I am happy when some of the guys do well. Especially so for Couturier, Konecny, Provorov, Ghost, or Sanheim.

Not sure we want Tokarski up tbh. While he didn't play poorly against Hershey last weekend, he seems not to be able to anticipate the action as well as the others, even Lyon,imo.
