Robert Esche Is Alive
Not that long ago, my buddy asked me, “Where’s Robert Esche these days?” Looking up the whereabouts of “Bob The Goalie,” I found that he wasn’t in the NHL this season. Seeing action in only 18-games in last year’s debacle of a Flyers season, Esche was a free agent and became expendable after the acquisition of Martin Biron.
Esche was mediocre, at best, but rose to popularity after is tremendous play during the 2004 playoffs, but lost in 7-games in the Conference Final. Sound familiar?
Today, Esche is playing for Team USA in the 2008 IIHF World Championship. After playing like it’s 2004, Esche and the rest of the Red, White, & Blue lost to Finland 3-2 on a controversial goal. The puck clearly entered the side of the net, and after review, the call was upheld. The same thing happened to Buffalo’s Dominik Hasek, when John LeClair put the puck through a hole in the net during the playoffs.
If Robert Esche can revive his career with the US National team, the Flyers can come back from a 2-0 series deficit.

Re: to the post above me.
Why didn’t your dad wear a condom? Since he didn’t though you should at least learn how to form sentences, or leave a post related to hockey. Now if you wouldn’t mind doing the world a favor, go kill yourself

Maybe Russia is what Esche needed. He can’t understand what they’re saying about him in the press, and he’s less likely to say something that’s utterly moronic about why he’s been benched. Couple that with less talent firing away at him and 1.8 million U.S. and it’s a pretty sweet gig for someone who doesn’t have enough talent to hack it in the NHL nor has the mental toughness. And it’s guaranteed money for that next hip surgery he has. good for him.
