The problem with him is he's either great, or completely sucked in an
important game. A great goalie simply CANNOT let the game get away and not allow his team to get back in.
He's still a fantastic goalie, but if the Flyer's goal is to the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs, then he may not be a good choice.

I am not saying that it is true that he sucks in important games, or that his mind is weak, but I definitely think that there are many out there who DO think that is true. Who wants a goalie who will play well during the regular season, but will choke in the playoffs?
