What a playoff atmosphere. Hilferty giving out bonus checks after this game.

Really shocking that the powers that be don’t realize how far this team is truly away from any real contention. They likely think they are somewhat close.

Other than this recent slide, he's really stopped the bleeding quickly when he's had a leaky game.

Do you think the Devils were really engaged today? Sam did his job.

Rookie season, I am very hopeful for the future. I think he has a shot to be a #1 goalie.

I don’t think they’ve started to limit the chances and he’s also rebounding maybe having gotten a slight bit more rest. Regardless it’s good news. Washington is gonna lock this down to get it to OT.

I don t think the Devils were good today, but I liked Ersson's mental toughness to stop his slide the last 2 games. I see that as a positive.

I agree. If Ivan turns out to be good enough to play say 30 to 35 solid games then he should be fine

Next season they have a triumvirate at goalie. Very confident Fedotov gets re signed in my statement. Ersson starts off the season as #1, see if the Russians can push him out of the way.

And they still have Kolosov, Zavragin and Bjarnason in the pipeline. I'm not too worried about goaltending much. Goaltending doesn't matter much until they find some type of star/skilled forward to lead this group. They could have Hasek back there and if they can't put offense pressure on other teams on a nightly basis then their just gonna get stressed until they break anyway.

Ivan needs more time to acclimate. Full training camp and preseason games to start to fully adapt to the league. I see some good raw stuff from him though.

The Flyers draft history of goalies has not been good.

2 of those goalies you mention are years away if they ever make it.

Leafs are rounding into playoff form I see. 3 1 Detroit.

That's why I said pipeline, but the goaltenders they do have are adequate enough for the team in front of them right now. No point going out to get a high priced one, even one with a good track record, just to get torched.
