Carle is -10 in his last 15 playoff games.

He hasn't scored a goal in 55 straight games, goal scoring is overrated as well.

I really thought game 3 was going to be his coming out party this series. Now I have no clue.

We do need him to show up in a big way. He's been getting into the rough stuff and all but he needs to light the lamp. That's coming from a guy that openly says hartnell is his favorite Flyer.

He doesnt score. We already know that.

+/- is overrated. You can play well defensively and still be a minus 1 on any night. Your goalie could give up a soft goal your partner or forwards leave men wide open for an easy goal. Its not a stat that I personally like.

Same goes for the plus side.

Does Chicago go to Emery next game? Have to be at least thinking about it.

Maybe just for OT?

He's been incredibly bad. I hope he hasn't found confidence posting two shutout periods last night.

He had a pretty sick pass to Schenn on the PP to tie the game in Game 1 (I think that was the tying goal..)

Panach just tweeted that Homer texted him and said Bryz is playing tomorrow

I was fixing breakfast this morning and it suddenly dawned on me why I don't really care for Carle as a player. He reminds me a lot of Bouwmeester. I despise Jay-Bo the player.

+/- can be a misleading statistic.

It can also be very revealing as well.

I've never been impressed with Crawford. Yea I would go with Emery next game, back is against the wall.

I'm not a big fan of Carle either bc I dont think hes worth the money he will receive in free agency. I want the Flyers to stay away from that inflation.

I would love to be in Phoenix this weekend and see them finish off the Hawks.

The sunshine would just be an added bonus.

It really shouldnt matter bc if Chicago doesnt play good defense the goalie is useless.
