Injury Report: Feb. 26: Emery placed on injured reserve; Mason activated

[LegionOfDoom91]

who is the LH goalie coach?

Neil Little but he doubles as a goalie scout too.

 

[Flyotes]

More realistically:

Zepp-elin crashes, burns in NJ.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

This is actually big news, lets hope Zepp is up for the task.

 

[GingerFetish]

Who is playing in the ECHL now with both ECHL goalies in the AHL?

Good thing there is no historical precedent for this.

Oh, wait ...

But seriously, I share the fear of others that this means accelerating Mason's return.

Kenny Reiter is the only other goalie on the roster according to their website. They signed Matt Tendler as an emergency backup.

god, i hope not .....

Generally what happens in the ECHL. They gotta through lower leagues and bring guys in on PTO's.

its not uncommon. a couple of years ago the Ontario Reign used 7 or 8 goalies in one season.

I find it quite odd how quickly the team will let Mason return from surgery to be the backup while seeming to be 100% satisfied by re-signing Ray Emery to be your planned backup for the entire year.

EDIT: And for the record, I'm generally pretty sympathetic to the Flyers medical staff. This is more about managerial priorities that seem to conflict, though.

thought they had said a couple of weeks ago that Mason would back in closer to 3 weeks than 2. we are 2 weeks and a day since that surgery. I hope he isn't being rushed back.
I would start Zepp tomorrow and see how Mason is on Saturday.

I recall seeing that Mason was targeting a Saturday return, so hopefully Zepp isn't lit up by Toronto.

Said it once and I'll say it again, Mason should be shut down baring a playoff spot.

 

[Tripod]

I see Zepp being in net for the whole game regardless of the score.

I can't imagine they would bring in Mason cold, in a game they are losing.

Of course, if Zepp gets hurt...that changes everything.

Dumping Carlo C for a depth goalie could have beena ok move to make.

 

[Prongo]

Nobody want's CC. He has no value. They will most likely be waiving him soon when Kimmo is coming back. I would be surprised if they find a taker for him.

Players just don't want to be "shut down" for the season. If Mason feels he is ready to return and gets the OK from the training staff, he's going to want to get right back in there

I agree he has no value...except to a team that wants a depth guy for the playoffs and wants to offload an extra goalie.

I was not talking about a Carlo C for Reimer deal..more like for a LaBarbera type. In essence...a placeholder as a backup for Mason and Emery can recoup and Stolarz can go play in the AHL.

 

[Curufinwe]

Stolarz is going to play in the AHL. In tandem with Ouellette while Emery is hurt, and with Zepp when Emery is healthy.

And shutting a guy down for 3 months because of a 3 week injury is the dictionary definition of tanking.

The thing is, there are no microwave-clear displays on injuries. Despite huge advances in imaging and other diagnostic tests, an injury that may give every impression it is healed can quickly turn into something worse. This little bit of hypochondria is worth considering when Mason has missed time for multiple injuries and seems to be settling into a pattern of coming back quickly, then going back on IR in short order.

It's all well and good for the competitive juices to push him to want to be on the ice, but there's long term to consider for his career.

Mason in uniform for Flyers tonight, ready or not

Steve Mason admitted yesterday he is not yet ready to return, but a tricky roster situation might force him back into uniform tonight against the Maple Leafs as a backup.

[Sombastate]

If he's not ready, bringing him back is terrible

and, once again, I'll state in advance that he / they keep rushing him back too soon.

if he's not ready to start, NO WAY he should dress.

PERIOD.

 

[shipwreck]

Yes indeed. I agree 100%
