Disaster has struck the Flyers in the worst of ways at the worst time of the year. There goalie situation is awful due to many injuries.
Injured goalies
Emery-gone for year
Leighton-gone for year basically (8-10wks)
Backuland-AHL starter for Phantoms is gone for some time
Now they have Brain Boucher to carry them for the remainder of the season and playoffs as the starter. Their backup is Jermy Duchesne who has seen a few AHL games over the last couple of years (doing pretty good in them) and many games n the ECHL (most recently with the K-wings). He has never played in an NHL game. He will typically stop the intial shot, but can be slow to reposition for the rebounds from what I saw of him in Kzoo this year.
More bad news as Jeff Carter is out 3-4weeks.

h well its just the flyerstypical response from a fan of the rival. backuland is back and in the NHL and the "doosh" ia back in the ahl with the Phantoms. As long as he never returns to Kzoo I am happy. He think his Sh** don't stink, which irritates many of our fans for obvious reasons. He wasn't our #1 and knew that fact from day1, but still acts the same.
