We’re now heading into the 47th year of Flyers’ hockey and the excitement is overwhelming, to say the least.
New goalie
Ray Emery makes his return in net for the Flyers, after spending the past three seasons with Chicago, who won the Stanley Cup again last year for the second time in 4 seasons, and Anaheim.
Last season with Chicago, Emery went a ridiculous 17-1 with a 1.94 GAA. He broke a record, becoming the first NHL goaltender ever to start a season 10-0. Although Emery had a spectacular year, most of his success is deemed as a great season due to the excellent defensive system Chicago implemented. It’s not too shabby playing in front of Duncan Keith either. It’ll be interesting to see what Emery can do with a less-efficient, decent defense, and a challenge for him as well.
