Brooky: Flyers need to make a decision on goalie

This was once the place where the who's who of NHL goaltenders resided.

Back when Kate Smith was the league's No. 1 anthemist even though she never actually sang the national anthem, the Flyers won consecutive Stanley Cups because Bernie Parent, with a full head of natural hair and an infinite amount of natural talent, was the best in the world at stopping pucks.

Shortly after he called it quits, Pelle Lindbergh arrived from Sweden and willed the Flyers to a Stanley Cup Finals they might not otherwise have reached.

Almost immediately after Lindbergh's tragic death on a South Jersey road he never should have been on, Ron Hextall arrived with an entirely different set of magic tricks, including the ability to stop and score goals.
