Crazy stats, all their goalies are doing reaally well though. I don't watch them though, will be interesting to see how he does in Laval.

Also funny story, the goalie the Flyers drafted in the third round is playing second fiddle to Volokhin, only 10 games played to Volokhin's 34. Take that!

The Flyers goalie has played 17 games in the VHL this year which is a higher league than the MHL

I was telling people last year!

Gorton either has the eye or has a guy who has the eye for goaltending lol

I was never worried about that position the second we hired Gorton

Armia isn’t hurting them at all.

Neither is Dvorak.

Oh dang, thanks for the clarification!

So Allen accepted a trade to get away from the 3-goalie system in Montreal to find himself in another 3-goalie system in New Jersey.

After they acquired Allen, Devils sent Schmid to the AHL. And then acquire Kahkonen from the Sharks. And they still have Daws.

Daws is waiver-exempt. But with Schmid in the AHL, they also have a 3-goalie system in Utica (Schmid, Kallgren & Poulter). Not to mention, they sent Schmid down so he can get most of the starts. Sending Daws down would only complicate the matters more.

Allen played well last night. The 3 goalie system seemed to hurt him.

The difference is that in Montreal, Allen was at best second best option. In NJ, he's the best option.

Happy for Allen to have a good 1st outing

Apparently he let in 2 on the first 3 shots. That sounds familiar

Joking aside, here’s hoping he hits the 40 game mark.

Assuming Allen needed some assurances from Devil's management before waiving his NTC that he'll be in a two goalie system in NJD next year - no way he agrees to this trade unless they made him some type of verbal promise

One of them was a huge stinker. But he shut the door from there on out, and by all accounts was very good.

 

[calder candidate]

He need a strong finish but earn him self 40 start next year

Playing on a rebuilding team hurt him. He was generally better with lots of rest. I don’t remember him ever playing a series of good games. NJ is a pretty good team so he should do better.
