[Flyers] Transaction: We have recalled goaltender Aleksei Kolosov from the Phantoms (AHL). Additionally, forward Bobby Brink has been placed on injured reserve (upper-body injury) retroactive to Jan. 6.
I assume putting Bobby on IR is mostly to create a roster spot for Kolosov but I do hope Bobby feels better soon.
On a positive note we get to see if Kolosov is gonna look improved, his numbers in Y2 of AHL look promising, and now Bjarnason gets a decent run in AHL to give him a chance to get more reps.
I do hope Brink recovers as he’s an important member of the team.
I hope Kolosov is the starter tonight.
No Bobby NOOOOOO. On the flip side, I think this is a great time to see what Kolosov can do and hope he can get a game or two to not rush Vladash back.
So we’re back to last years tandem of terrible goaltending?
Time to see whether the tank commander is reporting for duty, or if it is a new era for Kolosov.
In theory the positive is Brink went to IR over Vladar, so he might not need the 7 days off
This is getting bleak
Kolosov’s statement game incoming.
At least this means Vladar should be okay soon. Sucks that Brink is hurt this bad.
Kolosov coming in with Ersson-level expectations (for me), so I’m hoping he blows me away.
Dang, this is one hell of an injury bug
Huge opportunity for Koly. If he can put up average numbers on a consistent basis he could easily steal Erssons job and get penciled into a roster spot for next season. If he looks as bad as last year I could see another Vladar type signing in the offseason that pushes Koly further down the organizational depth chart.
I miss Tyson
Jeesz ducks really said we can’t beat the flyers so let just concuss several of their players instead
sucks but thank goodness kolosov is called up. need him BADLY
My favorite flyer hit the IR, I hate everything
I’m excited for a chance to see if kolosov has been progressing tbh
“Ersson’s play is untenable. We need a backup from the system to come up and get starts stat”
*monkey paw curls*
Hopefully he gets a look or two and can outplay Ersson leading to a Vladar/Kolosov duo when Vladar is healthy again.
