Ersson def needs to work on his rebound control, probably every facet of goaltending for that matter, but he's been thrown into a pretty impossible situation. I'm sure he could figure it out over time and so on, but yeah, dunno if we really need to be too upset over losing games here, esp with Staal and Johnson on D.

 

[tymed]

Top 6 need to start getting pucks in the net.

 

[thedjpd]

Okay, so he should have froze the puck on a previous play.

How on Earth could he have possibly saved that 1st goal?

He couldn’t.

But that makes the difference of 3-0 - game out of reach - vs 1-0

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

He’s just too inconsistent. And with this schedule , how did they ever think they could make the playoffs.

He was forced into this role because the other guy is a scumbag piece of shit. I am not going to give up on the kid who was thrust into a impossible situation especially now with who we are dressing on defense.

I am so confused.

So am I but at my age I get easily confused

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Yeah. I don’t think you can have much confidence in him being THE guy going forward. Way too streaky.

Hes the guy for now I’d say. But I generally few goalies as expandable & not something you marry yourself to long term. But in Ersson’s case I think he’s been good this year on the whole & he’s cheap so he’s good for now imo.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Laughton deserves a shot to stay. This bum done anything in the last month ????

hey thats "foundational pillar" Laughton to you...

DB says "we werent trading Laughton"...

 

[tictactoe]

How is Gurianov? Is he ready to join Atkinson yet?

 

[GKJ]

I don’t think I’d pull Ersson quite yet. This is the second time in 3 games.

 

[smokey]

How is Gurianov? Is he ready to join Atkinson yet?

Very much a lukewarm body, so yeah. I'm sure it wouldn't matter who they throw out there at this point.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

OT on the PP

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

1-3
OT in regulation

 

[Rebels57]

A Powerplay Goal??!!

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Another mo' killer.

Todd Fedoruk insinuating that the Flyers aren’t up to blocking shots because Nick Seeler isn’t there

 

[smokey]

Who knew in just one season Risto would become only the third worst d man on this team. Fantastic asset management and solid wheelin'n'dealin' by the management.

Top 6 need to start getting pucks in the net.

Their top 6 consists of Laughton Cates Hathaway and Poheling. Need to lower your expectations

 

[Beef Invictus]

Todd Fedoruk insinuating that the Flyers aren’t up to blocking shots because Nick Seeler isn’t there

What's the equivalent of this claim in other sports?

"Well, the receivers just aren't up for run blocking today. Not with the mediocre right tackle injured."

 

[Curufinwe]

The main ESPN camera seems to have a big smudge on it.

 

[BritainStix]

We just need one more goal this period for a chance. Come on boys, let's make this 1am worth it.

 

[Danko]

Hulu keeps freezing during commercials, this is some bullshit

 

[Deadpool8812]

Ersson has played well for a rookie who had been trusted into the starting role, but Briere not getting a vet goalie at the deadline is a huge failure, especially since Raanta was on waivers

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The Tay Tay show has started.

 

[tymed]

Their top 6 consists of Laughton Cates Hathaway and Poheling. Need to lower your expectations

The cates hath poehling line has been the only line consistently doing anything in the offensive zone these days, huge problem for us, can't really ask mich more from those 3. Our scorers need to be getting on the board or we're done. Its wild how bad the teams on our heels have all been, but every day they miss taking advantage makes it more likely to come back and bite them. Coots farabee tippet frost, these guys gotta get rollin somethin. TK will get going, but hes been slow coming back off the shelf too.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Holy f***, she's lip synching

 

[Magua]

@VladDrag — Look where Frost positioned himself on the PP goal. It got the puck middle while the PK collapsed too hard. I don’t think I’ve seen that in the last 2+ years? I prefer Frost on the wall, but having a high IQ dual threat in the bumper is interesting (even if he’s just a Bonk placeholder), since they’ve neglected those areas for so long.
