Pull Mason?

The team in front of him is getting smashed. I don't understand why Stolarz hasn't gotten a start yet, he should've already imo.

Flyers can't hang with this team AT ALL. Flyers haven't been able to really do much of anything.

Care to substantiate that claim? Just because I don't share your enthusiasm for mediocrity doesn't cut it.
- JoeRussomanno


You literally just come here and complain. There is no actual discussion and you base everything on the same scale without taking into account relativity. 2real and PLind are the same way, but they do make me laugh sometimes and everybody knows what they're trying to do. You legitimately just come off as an bumhole and completely irrational.

There's probably the thought that why put him in to get shelled? I mean if things go off the rails, it could be 7 0

That's fine but you guys can't expect some of us to "like" it.
- JoeRussomanno

Hey I don't like it either. Blow of steam all you want. They sucked so bad at the start of the season that I can't get too worked up about them anymore.

I'd also make the point that Mason has not given up any trash goals today.

Matt Murray is an elite goalie, the future of Penguins hockey, it is a shame that Anthony Stolarz was drafted the same year but a round sooner

The pens are just this good right now. Sucks we have yet 1 more game against them. But they are fast and executing at a high high level. Kings with Vinny might be the only prayer in the league to slow this freight train

Yea I'm irrational. That's so it. I said briere was done back in 2012, got laughed at, he got bought out a year later, that summer due to the signings and trades, predicted the state of this team over the next 3 seasons, again laughed at. If by irrational you mean refusing to celebrate mediocrity then we are in agreement.

He's good but the flyers can't even test him. I'd bet more excited about how the team in front of him is playing

Should you not have such expectations for the best goalie in the AHL the last two years, and the holder of the single season shutout records (most and consecutive time) while down there?

I think it'd be odd to not expect Murray to become elite.

Mason is not at fault here guys.
I think the Flyers lineup and how it's been performing and winning games against Tampa, Washington DC, Detroit, etc., is a good matchup for the most part against those teams / systems. With the Penguins though I feel like Philadelphia really has to alter their personnel to be able to hang. Swap out Manning for Medvedev. Swap out VandeVelde for Weal. Even alter the lines completely to balance out speed and skill throughout.

As they are now - they can't hang at all with this Pens team. Speed kills and combining that with the Pens puck possession and swarming forechecking / backchecking - you can see plain as day that Philly has nothing going on all afternoon.
