Confirmed with Link: Ivan Fedotov has arrived in Philadelphia (Goalie, 2015 draft pick); made his NHL debut (Apr. 1)

[eramosat]

Sometimes, rookie goalies confound and succeed? The NHL has a rich history of late goalie call-ups making outsized playoff impressions.

We are likely to see...1 or 2 games from him in the next 4 with 2 BacktoBacks.

Fingers crossed.

why they give him a child's goalie stick?

why they give him a child's goalie stick?

Why do that when they have him standing in front of a 2/3 scale net?

Probably don’t have specialized equipment for him yet.

Probably that goalie stick has a built-in telescopic mechanism.

Will probably start on Monday now

After seeing that game first-hand, are we sure he isn't on his way back to Russia now?

Texting his former Arctic fleet hockey team teammates that he feels sorry for telling them they are bad at hockey, as he found out it can be worse.

I’m a little miffed that his name is actually pronounced fuh-DOH-tov. I’ve been reading it as FED-uh-tov for nine freaking years, and I’m not prepared to change.

Most of the Russians who come over here hear their names said differently and like it better anyways. Kovalchuk was one of them.

Kovalchuk is a Ukranian name I think. -uk is the typical male ending of a name if I am right.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I honestly think the way North Americans were pronouncing his last name sounds better.

 

[TheKingPin]

If put him in the next game. I think we I’ll get more of the same if we stick with Ersson.

Would have made the most sense to go

Ivan
Ersson
Ersson

Over the next three since we play the isles in the middle and that’s Monday to Friday break to finish.

 

[3mFlyers]

Yes, lets play the guy who has been giving up 5 goals a game. Smart!

Yes let’s blame everything on the goaltending. Typical!

Yes, but in Slavic languages 'u' is pretty much always pronounced like 'oo', so the correct way to pronounce it would be more like Kovalchook.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Erssons clearly gassed. I think they need to go with fedotov and hope they get a spark from the players in front of.

Itd also be fun to see the islanders get stoned by a russian goalie.

 

[orangey]

Definitely need to play Ivan next game. Rest Errrssonn and try to get something going to change the ugly momentum. Not much choice really. Something needs to change.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Word on the street is he's playing tomorrow.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Tomorrow night could be overreaction Monday if the new guy starts

Then it's better for you to not to find out how Michkov is actually pronounced.
