well Tocchet just helped feed the masses saying Bryz hasn't practiced a lot which Glen immediately took as he has bad work habits, that the flyers didn't due their diligence signing him and that he things they may have made a mistake.

Sandler hasn't been funny since Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison.

Maybe he just needs you, me, and nfg to take him to Taconelli's and school him over a good pizza. We can straighten him out. He pays WAY too much attention to Panotch.

Wow, he doesn't practice!!!??? Probably drinks that Russian stuff and smokes too.

Get him out of town now Homer!!





sarcasm above....

at least Tocchet did say Bryz is a good goalie and that he thinks he just needs to peel it back a bit (the camera crap). of course that part of the convo was glossed over

He's actually their best hockey person IMO. Maybe Rob Ellis or Morganti not sure, but it's definitely a tossup.

I'm pretty sure last week he didn't know how many Canadian teams were in the NHL

And of course, his refusing to talk to the media twice in the past week went unmentioned by anybody. Because that would prove that he's not the one trying to get his face on TV.

That's kind of like the Inquirer feeling Sam Carchidi is their best hockey guy.

That's like saying Ricky Otero is your best outfielder, and Floyd Youmans is your best pitcher, and Steve Jeltz is your best shortstop...Jesus, I have seen some Godawful baseball in my lifetime

Seriously he is listening to Panotch was too much. I'm not happy with Bryz's uneven play and agree he has to be MUCH better but I am not about to cut my wrist already. Glen is probably sick of me so you need to set him straight

It's ridiculous to call Bryz a bust after 3 or 4 months. The problem is a lot people out there don't have a setting between 1 and 10. It's a love/hate relationship anymore when it comes to athletes and sports.

It's true, and Philly's usually more bi-polar than most towns.

But you know, in the end, I don't mind too much because it means your team is relevant and important to the people in your town. It just sucks the ones with the microphones and newspapers are the ones the tend to know or care the least.

I did say their best, I didn't say he was a (cough) expert.

I dont disagree with you. I just think the Flyers at some point are going to have to give Bryzgalov like 8 consecutive starts whether he wins or loses. I have no problem with Bob getting the call tonight in net.

Sandler's movies are getting bad is all im saying, I mean c'mon what was that mess he just tried to pass as comedy?
- JoeRussomanno


You gotta hand it to him though. He arranges to play opposite of some hawt looking ladies in his films.

Kate Beckinsale
Jennifer Anniston
Salma Hayak
Leslie Mann
Tea Leoni
Drew Barrymore (if you like the kiddie look)
etc, etc.

Didn't someone in the Philly Media write or say that Zheredev would be useful for playoff shootouts?

Kate Beckinsale is always at the top of my top 10.

and of course the way the reporters press and press until he finally says something is never mentioned. I hate to say it but I see why players end up hating them.

He's probably calling to make sure the getaway car is all gassed up.
- Schenn2shine


Before he got to Philly, he probably got all the good getaway car info from Zherdev, just in case...

That's the trouble. You have one asshat saying the Flyers had no idea that Bryzgalov was a screwball, and others who constantly shred him for his personality instead of play, then get snippy when he doesn't want to talk to them.

I come here to read Bill, because he's the most knowledgeable and even keeled writer following the team. When I do read most of the others, it's because I see someone tweeting it saying, Jesus, he's acting the fool again!
