Confirmed with Link: Brian Elliott: Two Year Deal With Flyers ($2.75M/yr) (issued #37 per NHL.com)

[Striiker]

Probably 35.

 

[Rebels57]

Remember the commercial with a Flyer goalie #31 that we complained about so much they touched up the video to make it 34?

I do not remember that, but that is pretty cool. Shows how much the fanbase cares.

 

[The Madrigal]

It would be cool if he just went with 1 next to a high number (91, 81, 71) but my guess is he just goes with some random number in the 20's or 30's.

 

[Striiker]

10 is now available.

But I said 35 because Mason wore 1 in Columbus and ended up with 35 here. And obviously that number is vacant too.

 

[FLYguy3911]

2 is retired.
if I were to guess I would say 41.

Stolarz has 41.

 

[The Madrigal]

Stolarz has 41.

He's in the AHL and doesn't have "dibsies." If Elliott wants it he gets it.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He's in the AHL and doesn't have "dibsies." If Elliott wants it he gets it.

Well I mean he can ask Stolarz if he will give up his number, but they can't really take it away from him. He was on the NHL roster for about 3 months last year.

I don't know why he needs a number with 1 in it. He wore 30 with Colorado.

I seriously seriously doubt he needs to ask for it if he wants it. Stolarz is not nor has been an NHL regular for the Flyers.

 

[dingbathero]

#30 which he has used in the past?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I still don't get why everyone thinks Bobrovsky is going to be an elite goalie. He can still be beat up high easily as shown in the playoffs against Pittsburgh. It was very reminiscent of how he played on the Flyers.

Well, he's been good to excellent for 5 years and has two Vezinas, so I'd say he's probably better than what we've been rolling out.

Have you not watched the Flyers at all the last two years?

Forgetting the backup goalies # is not an unforgiveable offense. Dont be an *******.

Sure it isn't.

That's rich, coming from you.

Wow. I am beyond tired, can't get a thought out of the head in the other thread and missing players (Neuvy) in this one... I have that dude ignored anyway.... LOL.

On that note, it's def time for bed.

 

[The Madrigal]

On second thought, I can see why someone would forget Neuvirth's number. It's not like he's played in 60 games with the Flyers over the last two seasons and also had 3 starts in the playoffs. Carry on.

The point is that something that trivial is not worth being a ***** about. Pick your battles.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Backup goalies shouldn't even be allowed to have numbers. And they should travel in scum class.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

I never know any of the goalies numbers. Couldn't tell you Mason's or anyone else not Bernie or Lindberg or hextall.

Who cares

 

[BernieParent]

It's really going to be a mix and match with two streaky goalies and possibly Stolarz in the mix. My anxiety comes from Hakstol's curious approach to platooning.

 

[OzFlyers]

I have always liked Elliot. I hope he settles in well.

 

[GKJ]

Hope Elliott doesn't take 35. Boring number for goalies.

 

[roadkill]

Well, he's been good to excellent for 5 years and has two Vezinas, so I'd say he's probably better than what we've been rolling out.

I'm aware of that, but his postseason stats are not very good at all. Isn't that the most important part? I'm waiting until he finally has a good playoff run, then I'll reconsider what I think of "Bob". Although I will admit I have some bias towards him now and wouldn't care if he never does, especially if the Flyers face Columbus in the playoffs in the near future.

Parent's is pretty easy to remember.

Hope he takes #23

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Hope he takes #23

Praying it's 47.
