First round exits were a feature when Fletcher was in Minnesota. Those 2-4 games of playoff revenue were a huge accomplishment.

Didn't they win the first round or was that something else?

It seems like the team overall played hard against one of the best teams in the AHL. They were sunk by average at best goaltending. Peterson is not good. If anything start Kolosov. What do you have to lose.

That was like a play in round they won. I think it’s something like a ridiculous 22 out of the 32 teams make it in. They had a worse year than the flyers

What did they owe Peterson? After his play throughout the season, he's the guy that you're deciding gives you the best chance to win?

I don't understand that decision making process.

Not only that, wouldn't it be better to test , under fire, a guy who might still be a part of the puzzle in 2026 and beyond rather than a guy you're running out the clock on?

Shockingly Peterson had a shutout in game 3.

cement head is coaching to keep his job, no way he starts an unknown rookie

Was just responding to people saying they played in one round this seasons playoffs

Bill,
So you feel Brink underperformed? I'da' thought he'd have a lot to prove.

They're building a culture and a standard down there.

You mean Brink Marner?

to be fair, which i cant believe im sort of defending Fletch, the West was really tough and the stupid playoff format didnt do the wild any favors

I hope the Flyers should trade for Marner talk settles down. No way.
