Goalies are weird. They’re also quite possibly the most important position in all of sports.
While a team can contend for a Stanley Cup without strong play in net, it makes it a lot easier if a team has a bona fide No. 1 goalie — or a strong defensive system in front of a fine goalie that can go on a heater. The Flyers saw the latter option in 2010 on the way to the Stanley Cup Final, but unfortunately, haven’t been able to find a reliable top-tier goalie in the modern era.
The Philadelphia Flyers find themselves pretty set at the goaltender position entering the 2024-25 NHL season with Sam Ersson and Ivan Fedotov.
