    The Blues are another team getting bad defensive results. Teams like that seem to find their checking game and do a nice job stifling the Flyers overly cooperative offensive game. The Flyers need two points here.

    Ersson has been just as bad this year as he was last year so limiting shots against will be their only hope. Vlader is holding this team together with duct tape. If Vlader reverts to his career average the Flyers will be in position to draft a potential franchise player. As it is they are only 2 points from being last in the division.

    hopefully not a trap game looking ahead to strong dallas team. every point matters to help secure that 8th spot. The flyers are a team I wouldn’t want to play in the playoffs. can’t say that about many other teams. When they get Risto back, who is built for playoff hockey, they will go on a run imo.

    Not understanding the love and support Ersson keeps getting. At some point, you just have to admit he’s too inconsistent to be a reliable NHL goalie. Maybe serviceable as a protected 2. Regardless of who the 1 and 2 goalies are, there’s going to be a rotation and it has to be managed. Vladar seems on pace for about 50 starts which is a good bit higher than he’s gotten in the past but not wildly high for a No. 1. I don’t see any reason to think he’ll sag under that workload. Flyers are roughly as close to the top of the conference as the bottom. I think the team D results they’re getting are sustainable and the goal scoring has upside. They’ve left 3-4 points on the table a sounder and maybe luckier team would have grabbed. I keep telling you guys it’s not that the Flyers are a perfect machine, it’s that you’re overestimating the rest of the conference.
