A little different when you know you’re the number one. Errson isn’t ready. He shouldn’t be ready. A lot to ask of a rookie.

He looks ready to me. Ersson has been strong in this period against an onslaught.

Hopefully they trade Laughton soon. It’s been bothering him all year. He knew he was to being traded last year. If he gets traded watch how good he gets after a few weeks of being traded.

Really? I would consider him fortunate. I’m not saying he isn’t good enough. What I’m saying is it’s a lot to ask of him. Really what they should hope for is that Petersen becomes a reliable backup to take the pressure off him.

Horrible period by them. More of the same from before the break. Turnovers and hemmed into their zone. Lucky it’s not 3 0.

Really! You're talking out your you know what. Ersson, was really good in that period and he's the reason why its only 1-0. He wasn't fortunate, he was good. The rest of the team is fortunate that he played a strong period because he was the only one.

If Ersson had been playing mediocre all year I might agree but he has played very good. Briere should ridd out the goalie situation for the rest of the year and use the cap space to take another teams bad contract for picks.

Errson is doing what he’s been doing most of the season.

Panthers forecheck is among the best in the league. The Flyers found that out in the first period. Thankfully Ersson showed up or the lights would already be out on this game.

The team needs to support him. They’ve seemed off the last 5 games tbh.

They’ve been bad since Torts stopped playing Brink. Coincidence?

Talent is a big part of it but that's a really good team that plays modern hockey, Their regroups are phenomenal and how they hold onto possession and move the puck quickly for quick ups and zone carries. They play really fast hockey.

Well, I will say that I wouldn’t have stopped playing brink. Let him ride it out and develop rather than playing the plugs they have on the 4th line.

thats a not the same discussion. those are the actual stats and again all teams play under the same rules. thats a fact. the flyers are a bad team. thats an opinion. my opinion is they are an ok team and now have a major problem with one decent goalie at the nhl level. no i dont think they are a bad team. i would guess anyone who says so prob did not feel the same way 5 games ago

ok= mediocre = .500

Same rules, which, again, are preposterous, not all game equal

Frost tried a cute pass on the PP instead of maintaining possession. Very frustrating.
