In the first of our series grading each player by position, we will start with the men between the pipes. Suffice to say, it felt like a historically bad year for Flyers goaltending, and it very well may have been. Out of every NHL team, the Flyers ranked dead last in terms of combined save percentage from goaltenders, and only managed to shut-out opponents in three games. To put things into perspective further, the league average team save percentage was 0.903%, and the Flyers only managed 0.880%.
It can be argued that it was overall team defense that befell the Flyers for most of the season, and that the goaltenders were left out to dry.
