Yes, Michael Neuwirth, the Flyers season will be rocky. Zing.

Naturally, with Neuwirth projected as a backup, his team is heaping enormous amounts of praise on him. “…if something happens to [Mason] he’d have to carry the load and he’s done that in the past. We think we brought in a real good goalie that’s going to give us a real solid backup,” said GM Ron Hextall to NHL.com. That’s right. Michael Neuwirth is a trustworthy back up… He’s played before!
