We wish the absolute best to Bill Meltzer with PhiladelphiaFlyers.com. And we will be adding a new Flyers writer soon..and it could be YOU...The Flyers community here is so strong that I do believe someone here could be taking over..I have had some great luck before finding new writers from within. So, if you are interested in covering the Flyers for hockeybuzz, email me a sample story to [email protected]. Put "Flyers" in the subject. As I have in the past I will post the best here for the Flyers community to consider. Just give me your overall thoughts on something...th team, Michkov, the Goaltending....Hint...I love unique voices. That means well thought-out opinions along with game stories... Anyone can tell you who scores I want opinions. Philly opinions.
I will be the first to admit that I was not in the corner of Fedotov this season. I mean you gotta respect all this guy's been through top get here, but he honestly didn't look like an NHL goalie..Lots of Flopping, overplaying the puck, too many movements for a big goalie... I was ready for Kolosov to take the backup role. Kolosov's style reminds me of Bobrovsky as a Flyer. Very low stance, but going down too soon and NHL players can figure that out very quickly.
But now, for two straight games Fedotov has been MUCH. much better. Making big saves at big times for two unlikely Flyers wins. He has gone from looking scared to having a bit of swagger. Reminds me a bit of Hextall years ago....who also started off VERY much not looking like an NHL goalie.
So I'm asking you. Do you trust Fedotov? Do you still prefer Kolosov? Or do you think t🤔 he FLyers need to find another backup?
