I remember him being a talented yet inconsistent goaltender when it mattered most but I still wish him and his loved ones nothing but the best during these difficult times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other things I remember about him were the best unibrow in hockey and the way he’d tease shooters with his huge five-hole then close it lightning fast. RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophomore Jinx Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Wow, I remember him, he was a good goalie, a late bloomer. I actually remember his rookie season - 10 SO! And our own RT was on that PHI team. Far too young. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Guy might have been a Hall of Famer if he had gotten his shot a little earlier. Pelle Lindbergh, Ray Emery, Cechmanek... Some very good Flyers goalies have had some pretty bad luck when it comes to health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
