Antero Niitymaki getting schooled once again.Aim low: that's the Philadelphia Flyers' motto.
Aim for the 5-hole: that's the motto of the Flyers' opponents.
Just so that Deathlok and Bob have this on the record: I said in October that the Flyers' goaltending would be their downfall. Now, the Fly Guys are still in a decent playoff position - and injuries have riddled the squad - but they are far from the Stanley Cup favorite now.
In my opinion, the blame lies on the shoulders of goalies Antero Niitymaki and Robert "Mesh" Esche, who are currently 46th and 49th in the league in Goals Against Average. 46th and 49th! And with the playoffs mere weeks away, you'll forgive me if I don't break out the champagne.
They have both looked pretty good the last few games.
ReplyDeleteI holding the faith.
You can't expect no goals against whe nthe like of Kapanen and Handzus are out of the line up.
They are back. We are Winning!
Agreed. The win against the Boradway Blueshirts was huge, but I worry when they face teams like the 'Canes in the playoffs.
ReplyDelete*AHEM* Would that happen to be a picture of a Buffalo Sabre scoring?
ReplyDeleteJust wonderin...
*grin*
we beat the rangers, we beat the rangers, we beat the rangers....
ReplyDeleteOh...I'll always root for Roddy, so don't bother bringing up the 'canes.
yeeehaaaw
I still think next season is the season for this club. Anything they get out of this season beyond a playoff spot will be sweet, but next season's the one that will put Clarke and Hitchcock on the hot seat.
