I pay zero attention to the Philly MSM. They don't even exist to me. If the Flyers find a goaltender who stops the puck, they will be forced to try and write about hockey.

You don't think they'd still try at this if he was playing well?

So...I can't be the only one rooting for Boston who feels bad about it, right?

Read for Weber?

I didn't find those trade proposals that unbelievable.

Def rooting for Boston, I can't stand the Rangers.

If he is playing well, and they write this garbage no one takes it serious. I don't read any of their columns so I have no idea what they write. I saw the Stalin comments on Yahoo, and as soon as I read them I knew it was going to cause a stir. It's just dumb for him to address poop like this. Why is he talking about non hockey related issues?

Maybe not the Big Buff, but the 3rd/Phantom for Halak is a stretch.

not enough size on the wings

Boomer Gordon on his NHL radio show today said he thinks Bryz is stirring up controversy with the media because he wants out of Philly. He is doing all he can to force a buyout. He also said he believes Bryz has played his last game in the NHL and will be going to Khl.

Is his source Butsy?

Wow. This is what Jack Edwards was doing during the Patrice Bergeron OT winner against the Leafs. He makes Steiggy and Errey look impartial.

Because he was asked questions and wanted to answer? I can't tell you why he's compelled to do such interviews, and especially can't explain the Stalin thing. You can call it dumb, but I'm not going to overreact to a poorly and digitally translated interview. He's a human being, not a hockey robot.

Its what I and others have been saying......anyone know if the Flyers would be off the hook salary cap/pay wise if he left for the KHL?

I cant stand the other guy, has that thick Boston accent and is by the far the worst homer announcer.

Per capgeek:

Teams receiving a “cap advantage” from long-term contracts — defined as seven years or more for contracts signed prior to the January 2013 CBA — will be penalized in the event the player retires or “defects” from the NHL before the contract expires

So I think the answer is no, they would not be off the hook.

i buy the first part, not sure about the second.

The only reason he's asked such nonsense is because the media knows he will put his foot in his mouth. And boom, they have a story to rile up the masses.

I don't mind Brickley when he's doing non Bruins games. I think he does a pretty good job. The NESN Bruins broadcasts are unwatchable.

clearly. amnesty him now. dude's a head case, who only stirs poop up. can't win in the playoffs. LOSER.

goalies are hat cases, not head cases.

Is that why the Russian reporter asked him that question? Are you 100% positive about that? I couldn't glean any such certainty, considering it was a horribly, horribly broken translation.

Why is someone asking Bryzgalov about Stalin? Strictly because he's Russian? Is Ovechkin, Datsyuk, and all the other Russian players asked about Stalin? Or is Bryzgalov asked because he will likely give a "colorful" response?

Boy do I hate him....

Not because of this. I'd be doing that too. I don't blame him.

But he is abhorrently homeristic. Makes me want to strangle things.
