Ersson doesn't suck. He didn't make any big saves but the Flyers gave up too many point blank quality chances and the Ducks pounced on a few rebounds unchecked and they have some good finishers.

Okay, I'll just say he needs to be better if he wants to avoid going back to the minors. He cost them the game last Saturday IMO and he couldn't have been good yesterday with a .720 save pct. I didn't see the game, but the Ducks had 6 high danger chances versus the Flyers 12. Also, the Ducks had 18 scoring chances overall while the Flyers had 26. He needs to be better! Thanks!

the so called arguably best 4th line in hockey has zero combined points. GH does not look like the player of years past. Poehling is just blah.

Dont like Tippet or the Forest on the left side. Why not move Cam who has zero future here to the left?

Belpedio, seen enough.

Absolutely horrible and tragic. I guess it can happen when there’s sharp skates involved. He got up and skated to the bench…but I guess he had lost too much blood. Former phantom from two years ago. Only 29…horribly sad.

It was the type of game where the lack of goaltending made it impossible for them stay in the game. I’m not saying to get rid of ersson but maybe send him down to get some playing time. He looked terrible in that game and came up with zero important saves despite very few shots and scoring chances.

I don't see it that way. You can say that he didn't bail them out but there were too many catastrophic breakdowns in front of him. I'm not going to blame him for that.

Those are the 5 on 5 numbers. Overall for the game, the Ducks had 8 high danger chances. All 7 of their goals were quality high danger chances. The Ducks overall had 24 scoring chances.
