Sure, just ignore 2015-2018

Yeah imagine if San Jose had a good goalie between the pipes in those years? Stanley Cup maybe?

Wow, whining about the signing of a backup goaltender. If Hart doesn't return to form there isn't a backup out there that would make a difference.

So the season all rides on Hart?

Fletcher is so bad. Why expect anything different when he sucked for a decade in Minnesota
- PLindbergh31

Most experts say the Flyers have done the most to upgrade their team from the previous year. Don't understand all the doom and gloom.

I'm really not worried about Hart, but he can't play all games and between struggles (he will have some no matter what) and a possible injury then those are games the Flyers can lose valuable points.
- Glak18


It’s happened to the leafs for years. No backup. Lose all those points bad seed to start the playoffs. Out.

Hart definitely struggled but Are we gonna act like he didn’t have a steaming hot pile of poop in front of him every start?

What was Ullmark’s save % on a Buffalo team that may have been the worst team of the last decade?

Fletcher has already been in contact with Brendl's agent. We'll see what happens. The usuals will be clapping like mindless seals about how great Fletcher is when he pulls this one off.

It just says a lot about what you think about Jones, not much eh?
- dubc55


Maybe they carry 3 goalies…due to…the condensed schedule.

I’m a fan of Lyon and think he has the potential to be a very good backup. The Flyers defense and issues defending plus Hart being very young with limited experience himself…that’s hard to find an opportunity.

Jones has had tons of opportunities. I am not impressed.

Daily reminder that Philly is not a destination

- Richieattack18


Nonsense. Yandle only said those things to milk his contract to get top dollar

Generally I think he’s done very well. Atkinson Ellis and even rr knowing that it was basiclLy a bidding war for him. Yandle and Thompson good.

I’d have preferred holtby over Jones but fine.

It’ll be very interesting to hear what chucks thought process was. I bet he tried to get holtby but he didn’t want to come here. Obviously he won’t say that haha
- Hextall271


Fletch will give us the "7 other teams were interested in Jones so that's why we paid 2mil"
