I'm more confident in my goalie this year than I have been in the past 5 years combined. Kudos to Laviolette for sticking with him. It'll pay off, not having to play musical netminders.

they lost pronger 8 games into the season.... and timmonen and mezjaros were only dinged up recently. the guy has been inconsitent all season. i would be shocked if flyer fans would be overly thrilled to have this guy on the hook for that kind of money for the next 9 years after what he's shown so far this season. Let's not also forget that they pretty much bankrolled their franchise to get him, ala trade carter and richards.
i'm sure you are confident about 'tending this season, you went from used datsuns to a late model honda civic this year... that would seem like a step up to almost anyone.
