Player Discussion Dylan Ferguson (G) 1yr 2-way 2022-23

[sennysensen]

I'd never heard of this guy or knew he was in the organization until I turned on the TV around 7:20.

 

[Race Dawg]

I admit that I don't really follow the Belleville Senators but holy f***ing A batman, Who is this guy?? We aren't worthy of such a spectacular performance of goaltending, He stays!!!!!!

 

[DanyHeatley]

i can see PD signing him to a stupid contract

 

[Que]

There are a couple posters here who really know goalies but man was I impressed with his lateral movement.

I know it was his first game and he was clearly amped up and dialed in but holy smokes that kid can slide between the pipes and kick those legs out.

[DJB]

Need to extend him 8 years 48 million right now

 

[guyzeur]

SPRING OF DORION

Now we know how a sarcasm can turn someone like a prophet!

 

[guyzeur]

Need to extend him 8 years 48 million right now

If we make the playoffs with Fergy Spring of Dorion would tell Summer of Dorion to sign him for 8 x 4.8M

 

[Adrianopolous]

I was very confident with him in net all night. It's a feeling that I don't get very often

 

[dmarc]

Fun game, happy for the kid, he's listed as 6'2", I am not sure if its cause we're been watching Sogaard for last couple weeks but seems wayyyyy smaller than that

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Meh, wait till opposing teams get film on him. Good for him on his first start though.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I wanna see the kid play more the rest of the way here, it's only one game but what a game!!

If sogaard isn’t great tonight it will be Ferguson until he gets blown out

 

[Mingus Dew]

We have seen this movie before lol.

Still, what a game. Kid should be extremely proud of himself.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing! He looked tiny.

Our own Darren Pang.

Id start Ferguson again. He has hardly played this year and he is dialed in. Let it ride.

Maybe Soogard is too big. The Marner goalie he got out of his stance on one knee to close his five hole.

 

[Mingus Dew]

You should 100% start Ferguson tonight just because you ride the hot hand in a dice game. Always.

I expect DJ to DJ and play Sogaard though.

Maybe Soogard is too big. The Marner goalie he got out of his stance on one knee to close his five hole.

The guys with quick hands made it look easy in the shootout. Big goalies will have their soft spots too.

Yeah and then he got beat over the shoulder while standing up lol.

I…don’t know what I’d do. I really don’t. So good news no matter what happens tonight I won’t bitch about DJ smiths goalie choice

It's the analytics to not play back-to-back nights but curious to see what happens.

Agreed but sometimes you just gotta put your stones on the table and let the numbers be damned.

 

[OD99]

Totally agree.

Goalies played back-to-back until just recently and if you have the hot hand, why not go for it?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Had a really nice first game.

Ferguson may not be Sogaard big, but he really covers the net well. Dude knows how to play.

Edit to add: I don't know if palying back to back is a good idea right after a near 50-save night. Dude must be exhausted.

 

[Micklebot]

Idk, Pens had 91 shot attempts last night, that's a lot of up and down for a goalie dropping into the butterfly, his legs probably feel like Jello today.

 

[aragorn]

Well…Anaheim is a lottery team and supposed to be a lottery team and is trying to be a lottery team….
*Shit games against Chicago, Vancouver and Calgary as well in must win games.
And yeah we truly were that bad in those games.

It's also after we lost Forsberg for the season while Talbot was still injured & they had to take two rookie goaltenders from the AHL on a western road trip who had very little NHL experience between them. Before this yr & not that long ago they had 122 minutes of experience between the two of them, that's less than 2 games. It's a lot to expect for them to come in & win consistently in the best league in the world when they have been playing in the AHL & all of a sudden need to be great at the NHL level.

That's on skates ...

The guys with quick hands made it look easy in the shootout. Big goalies will have their soft spots too.

The shootout went 9 rounds, they had their NHL goalie in net while we had out AHL goalie in net. It's a lot to expect from a rookie goaltender thrown into the fire due to injuries against some of the best players in the world& yet he still gave them an opportunity to win the game. He did well in that shootout.

You think forsberg or Talbot would have dragged this team to a winning record on that western road trip the way we were playing in front of them? Guess we will never know.
