The All Purpose 2014-15 Flyers Goaltending Thread

[Bernie Parent 1974]

I think Mason played very well Vs BOS in game one & was a major reason we even had a chance late ....

vs NJD in game 2, think there was a shaky one, but Mason had little chance on most of them.

thougts ?

will Emery play vs MON tonite ??

i thought so far Mason has had 1 bad goal all season..

that was goal #5 in NJD game..

other then thats hes the ONLY reason we were even close to being able to win

its soooo early but mason played in boston like he finished last year.....not quite there game to game yet but still looks solid to me.

I AGREE WITH 1 BAD GOAL. a shame we wasted a 4 goal output in game 2.

We aren't 0-2 because of goaltending.

 

[sobrien]

Does any other team get as hurt my deflections off our own players as we do?

Is there any way to turn that around?

Trade Luke Schenn.

ugh. that 2nd MON goal [when Emery didn't catch it & fell forward] ...... ugh . gotta either catch it or be in position for the 2nd save. you cant sell out & not catch the first one ...

like the breakaway saves though. probably deserved a better fate, tough collapse by the team in the 3rd

 

[Rebels57]

So far, goaltending has been the only non-issue through all 3 games.

 

[Appleyard]

The only criticism I had of Emery that game was his puck handling... he had 2-3 poor turnovers when there were men free.

He is not bad usually at handling the puck.

However, behind the D, Berube, reffing etc that is pretty far down the reasons they lost. He made some superb saves in the 3rd.

 

[GKJ]

Mason shouldn't be starting both ends of back to backs.

 

[dats81]

Mason shouldn't be starting both ends of back to backs.

Everyone knows that except for Berube.

 

[Curufinwe]

The weird thing is he did know that last season.

 

[Bernie Parent 1974]

Mason shouldn't be starting both ends of back to backs.

completely agree

 

[Curufinwe]

So I expect Mason to get Dallas and Pittsburgh, with Emery playing against Chicago.

Anyone else notice that Mason has been getting abused glove side high since the preseason?

Nearly all of the goals he's conceded since the preseason have been glove side high, and teams seem to be shooting to that spot constantly (for example, all of the Ducks' shootout efforts were aimed gloveside high).

I am definitely concerned that teams have figured out a weakness.

They did it all last year. His glove is inconsistent.

 

[Sombastate]

There's times where his glove is really bad, and other times where its completely unbeatable.

 

[Curufinwe]

The one really bad goal he's given up was on the other side. The 5th goal by NJ.

 

[Bernie Parent 1974]

DID NOT like the goal against vs ANA where he seemed to not notice the guy to his left and he just moved to the right ...

 

[Ryker]

Just got my hands on Meet the Flyers 2010, and I figured I'd post a blast from the past.

Who, Beleskey? It's hard to say what he should've done on that goal, but I think Andersen looked more solid on the other end of the rink.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

stupid by berube to pull mason in stars game....emery looked sketchy as hell...but dont think it was fair to either goalie. lucky that decision didnt bite him in the ass.

overall i think mason is least of our worries.

 

[Curufinwe]

It's not stupid to pull the starter when the team is not playing defense in front of him. Leaving Mason in for 5 or 6 goals like he did against NJ helps no one.

I think that had less to do with Mason's play then it did with making the team realize that they have to play better. Maybe they're too confident when Mason is in so they make mistakes expecting him to bail them out, whereas with Emery they know that he can't move left to right so they have to play smarter.
