Lavi changing the D is just another excuse as it didn't work for Bryz and had they not acquired Mason the majority would have continued to blame the coach and Coburn and Briere for their defensive issues. The goalie's job is to stop the puck but somehow we all started making everyone else responsible for it to excuse Bryz. It was clear to me that Bryz was horrible and that he had to be bought out. Thankfully the Flyers thought so too.

Once again, you're being very narrow minded. It's the TEAM"S job to prevent goals.

No one here is absolving Bryz of blame, we are saying that the poor play was a culmination of several things going wrong. That includes Bryz's inability to make big saves in timely situations.

Is it possible the Defense could have been bad on its own accord, and Bryz was bad on his own?

IMO Bryz's numbers were just about as good as any other average goalie, playing behind a poor defensive team. Was he horrible, NO. Was he doing the job he was being paid to do? NO. That is why they bought him out. If Bryz was signed to a 3 year 3 million dollar contract, his performance could have been overlooked, and he would likely still be on the team.

Hall is the only American Flyer, so I'd gander to say no. From the Pens, I think Orpik and Paul Martin were both invited to camp.
- JAKEw1234


Heavy minutes for Orpik and Martin. Preferably on the PK.

Having this mindset certainly woul make conversations more substantial and less dramatic/combative.
- Flyskippy


I know this: It helps me whenever I remember to do so, make an effort to do so. It makes conversing more honest and fun, to me.

Conceding a point that is well made, or acknowledging when you are wrong...I've never understood why more people simply don't do it. Because there are times when everyone remembers something incorrectly -- hell, I just did it today, and conceded the point.

I didn't burst into flames for being wrong, you know?

Alright. Sweet. I'm your cousin's date. I think we should heckle Briere for being a Canadien now.

Ugh. My mom is a bio-chemist and she analyzes the effects of drugs on patients. I worked for her and reviewing the data is mind-numblingly boring. It pays very well though.

Omg Sweden's defense

OEL - Karlsson
Edler - Kronwall
Hedman - Hjarmalsson/Oduya/etc.

Could easily be 2nd best behind only Canada. That first pairing's so sick it makes me want to change my citizenship just so I can route for them

He would have been perfect as a partner for Bobrovsky. He out played Fleury in the Playoffs and got the Pens by an Isles team that was beating them.
