Winnipeg is going to be just as desperate. Flyers have to be ready.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Let's go. Beat this team. Get tons of shots on Pavelec.

 

[mantis toboggan]

I really hope mason starts I want to see how he is

 

[hckyplayer8]

No word on whos starting in the crease.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

No word on whos starting in the crease.

No morning skates with afternoon games makes it more difficult to get a confirmation.

 

[RoDu]

Holy **** at this bloody weather. No doubt, Bryz got of the plane and said I told you so

I'd rather see the devil I know instead of the devil I don't know; Bryz over Mason

i agree. i understand wanting to see what Mason can do but the flyers if they win this game have a legit shot at making the playoffs. i rather hold off on mason as he is one of the few goalies in the league who can actually be leighton level bad. i don't want that anywhere near this team while they're winning.

There's also a chance he turns it around and actually plays well for us. It's not like he can be much worse than bryz (I hope)

 

[Yukon Cornelius*]

I've been watching all of Mason's starts this season through Gamecenter. The suggestion that he is remotely akin to Michael Leighton is pure garbage and based solely on a Quick glance at his stats and not direct observation.

Talk about your hard luck goalies, 5-3 PP's, flukey bounces, silly turnovers and one complete defensive breakdown after another. By the time the Jackets start to turn it around in their own end, they've gone with Bob and giving him the lion's share of the starts.

If anyone has Gamecenter, go watch his starts against the Hawks & the Wings this season (Jan 26, Feb 2) and tell me you're not excited about having this kid on your team.

He has unbelievable athleticism and his lateral movement is lightning quick.

You don't make this move to have him ride the pine, gotta' believe Mason gets the nod this afternoon and I'm happy as a piggy in poo to see him in Orange & Black. (White & Orange today)

guess we are still in the dark until warmups on timonen and grossmann

I don't think Grossmann made the trip.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Grossmann is not with the team.

It'll likely be Timonen or Foster.

maybe not much worse then bryz but he can def be worse and has been for the better part of 4 years. sure he can turn it around but why chance it when you know what you have in bryz and it has been working the past 4 games. i posted this in the goaltending thread yesterday, bryz has posted a .910 sv% or better in 19 of his 35 starts this season in which his avg sv% is .937. bryz is just ridiculously streaky. i'm not counting on it but if he can get hot again maybe the flyers make the playoffs. i think the odds of mason turning it around immediately after a trade in a much higher pressure situation and being the better goalie is less then bryz getting hot again. that's not to say i wouldn't give mason a shot to prove himself in the future, just that now might not be the best time

 

[pughater]

i hope kimmo plays. foster can hand out slushy drinks for all i care

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

I agree with your assessment on Bryz as streaky and to ride the known wave currently. They've been winning so why change it?

 

[Sniped]

After seeing the garbage pens fans talk crap (mainly on nhl.com) now there is nothing I want more than to sneak into the 8th place and send the ****tsburgh penguins golfing early. I hate them so much.

LETS GO FLYERS!!

 

[garret9]

You guys should bank on the normal Pavelec shows up...

Jets have only lost 3 times (Pitsx2, OTTx1) when goaltending is >0.9... but have yet to win with below.

 

[tade]

EVERY Saturday the Flyers play in the afternoon.

It is a great time for me, for europeans. It's 9 pm here, I love these times.

Let's go Flyers! Fifth win in a row!

so the normal goaltending we have faced the last 3 games.

 

[SgtJoseph*]

The bottom line with me is that we need to stay outta the penalty box and start finishing more on the great scoring chances we have had lately.....I would like to see Bryz get a break like most NHL goalies get but i believe Lavy knows his team better than any of us do......Whichever goalie he goes with is fine with me.

 

[garret9]

so the normal goaltending we have faced the last 3 games.

My Jets collegues will hate on me for saying this probably, but...
Holtby, Price, and Reimer do that way less often than Pavelec...
So even better for you guys.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Going to be facing a team that is going to be just as desprerate as the Flyers are today. I know the Jets have lost 5 straight but I am expecting a good effort from them today.

 

[sa cyred]

I can't see them NOT playing Bryz. 4 game win streak? I think Lavy will absolutely play Bryz. I do want to see Mason play though.

Lavy has always tended to ride a goalie when they're winning, I don't really see him changing goalies until Bryz drops one. Might be wrong.

 

[TheKingPin]

Lavy would start bryz even if this was another back to back set. He never makes changes off a win.

I can see us losing this game but for once it's almost acceptable.
