Well, the Flyers have pulled him back from the Phantoms, the AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, back up to the big club. Sergei Bobrovsky hasn’t played all that bad though for the Flyers in recent weeks, so this move comes as a surprise to some. Brian Boucher hasn’t been very steady in net though, so this may be a back-up move for Bobrovsky throughout the playoffs. No one is really sure how Leighton will perform though, in his one game back from in the NHL for the Flyers, he did not perform very well. Also, his numbers are not very good down in the AHL either so this is why the move is kind of unsettling to alot of Flyers fans as the team must have very little faith in their current goaltending situation even though Bobrovsky has had very nice stats. Maybe Leighton will be able to pull off another miracle run for the Flyers this postseason, but he didn’t get the regular season warm-up that he had last year to do so. The playoffs are looming, so we will shortly find out exactly what their plans are.

So, I am sure all of you that follow hockey have heard about the some players, coaches, GM’s, owners, and of course the media talking constantly about what should be done about headshots. It is a big issue and isn’t likely to go away anytime soon my friends, as I believe it will be hard to come to a consensus on what should be done. Some people say to look at football, but I don’t think you can. They are not even close to being the same sport. Football is a much slower paced game with constant breaks, 4-5 second plays, an average of 5-6 minutes of actual in motion gameplay, and of course, people aren’t on collision courses going 25-30 mph each.
