Former Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall was the first goaltender to shoot and score a goal in the regular season and the first goaltender to shoot and score a goal in the playoffs. He shot for 2 career goals before any other goaltender had shot for 1. His 2 goals still stand as the NHL record (tied with Brodeur). He is also the Flyers all-time wins leader and holds the NHL records for most penalty minutes in a season and in a career for a goaltender and most penalty minutes in a season for a rookie goaltender. How is this holder of 6 NHL goaltending records not in the Hall-of-Fame yet?
Flyers probably wont make the playoffs unless they win 2 of the 3 games. They need to draft Steven Stamkos and a few other top picks in the draft. (have to keep their eye on Ryan Ellis and Hart in the OHL for furture draft picks).
Martin Biron, Flyers goalie, will be 31 this year and despite his age and despite having played in the nhl for many years, spring 2008 was the very first time he has ever played in the playoffs.
