Nope. Mason has had his ups and downs, but he's not "really bad." Emery won the Cup last year as a backup who only had, what, one regulation loss?
I believe the problem starts with their coaching. Laviolette just isn't getting out of his team what they are capable of.
The defense is a bit of a mess, which partly falls on the GM, but there's enough veteran presence that they shouldn't look as disorganized as they do.
That group of forwards should be much, much better at even strength.
Edit: I should say that I think either Mason or Emery make a very capable backup, but they're not good enough for a 1A/B tandem. The Flyers need a reliable starting goalie.
