Yeah, Its not like he has just forgotten how to play goalie. Or, just like that he is just done and over the hill.


He needs to be better for sure. He needs to adjust SOMETHING in his game to get it done. That being said, the team in front of him needs to stop waving sticks at shots and deflecting them, needs to stop forgetting to cover wide open players in the slot, and needs to find a way to manage the puck better in all three zones.

You would never expect a goalie of his caliber to have a gaa over three and a save % under .900

Bryzgalov was signed to help out the defensive breakdowns imo, and he hasnt helped much in that reguard.

That is no rumor, that is stone cold fact!





Also, the Flyers had no idea about Bryzgalovs penchant for talking to the media and being a generally gregarious and outspoken guy. They had NO IDEA!!! And did not do their due diligence in finding this out, thus being COMPLETELY taken aback by the way Bryz deals with the media.

The Flyers were caught completely unaware!

Its really not fair.. seriously. JvR shouldnt be allowed to fake injuries and have the league not step in. And the Bryz deal should be null and void.. so unfair.

Supposedly when asked what the highlight of her night was she responded: It will be getting Brad in bed.

I think she is like a praying mantis or something..

Angelina Jolie looked cartoonish. I knew she was skinny, but omg, those arms.
- rockychocbill


I thought the same thing. I was actually taken aback by her appearance.......She just looked.......strange.

No you would not. New team and town notwithstanding.

As for the breakdowns, I would say that for a team that has no cup aspirations, but this team should not be having this HUGE amount of breakdowns. And As I said yesterday, I have NEVER seen a goalie let up more "bad luck" goals in all my years of watching hockey.

Her and Madonna. Stringy biceps.

They look like they would break just by blowing on them.

I've read that Jolie eats about 1500 calories a day in sympathy for starving kids around the world. Something like that.

Between her bobblehead on a stick, the nuclear lipstick and twig arms it was hard to look at.

That explains the total lack of common sense and daily displays of idiocy by Hollywooders. They are all starving to death and their brains are shutting down from the lack of nutrition.

Im in Bryzgalov's corner and will continue to back him. I just wish the results were much better. He has had some "bad luck" goals this year no question but when it keeps happening over and over people start to lose patience. I dont want to say its his defense or his competition that is hurting his game bc he needs to be better himself first.

I can understand the being sympathetic part, but she's obviously obsessed over it. I respect that they've adopted kids and are giving of their time and money though. I just don't see the need to go to that extreme. It's their life.

Leaf land all fired up because they have a goalie controversy.

Kyper and the boys on hockey central are stoking the fire.

JvR faked his injury to prevent a trade.
- jak521

Kyper says the Flyers don't want Schenn but he thinks they'll see Gleason a Flyer.

Im still saying that his problem isnt his skills, but his mentality.. he lacks confidence right now.. and confidence is huge for goalies..
- jak521


I think that and our defense leave him out to dry often... when you don't think your defense can help you out you might over play some pucks...

or underplay... all speculation on my part

I'd really like to see Giroux shoot a little more. I think he's really trying to force some passes. When the dmen are forced to respect the shot it will open up those passing lanes.

Likely enough that Schenn comes to expensive for what he has to offer. I'd love to have him, but not at the cost of some of our younger talent.
