I agree Price’s contract is awful but he has never had a season below .900 save percentage and only one season above 3.00 GAA. I’d take that all day long and twice on sundays if we got that as opposed to what we have seen for 20 years.

Player comparisons....play style, attributes, strengths and weaknesses, situation (hype and expectations for this comparison).

Season and career accomplishments can not be compared or used until both parties have enough the same to compare.

You're preaching to the choir here. I have no expectations for Hart other than to play hard using the instructions he's been given over his life as a goalie and player.

So wait a minute

Knoblauch is running practice, and Laperierre is on the ice, too?

Have these people ever heard of "firing for cause?"

The PP AND the PK are absolutely broken -- how the hell is Knoblauch running ANYTHING?

This guy either broke or can't fix a PP with CLAUDE GIROUX, JVR, Simmonds and Ghost on it!

They have to fire them all!

Probably will. But somebody has to coach the game tomorrow and you wont be able to get someone in here that quickly especially not if its Q.

Again....deep end is calling him the starter for the rest of the year. This is just a common NHL call up that has happened with every single young goalie.

So on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being bull...10 being give your right hand sure, how sure are you that this is temporary?

Provy, Ghost, Coots, Jake, G all had career years if I remember right.

They did, but the "mix" is still the almost exactly the same. No one expected the current "mix" to have them as the 3rd worst team in the league. That why the Hakshell is gone.

I completely agree. There's nothing good happening this season and the coaching staff are as to blame as anyone else in Vorhees including the people who live there for letting it happen.

If they were gonna clean house they should have started with Holmgren. The Flyers are back to being a circus. They are embarrassing right now.

Hart resembles Holtby more imo. Probably cause they have a lot the same coaches. Less hype during draft year but was called up at age 21 for something like 15 games and was absolutely lights out.

Wouldn’t it be funny if he wasn’t fired, he was just in the office getting apologized to for all of the media circus and getting a vote of confidence? That would be funny.

Yeah I wasn't looking for other comparisons, I just happen to compare the situation with Price more than Pogge because of expectations. Just weird when people use career accomplishments to refute comparisons.

I get everyone tries to project who a kid will be but I hope Carter hart becomes Carter hart in the NHL. A head strong kid who has exceeded on every level. And always comes back from a poor showing better.
