It may take him longer. And I'm not giving up on him. But it's time to put the team first.

Indeed. If he doesn't earn it back this season, he still has another eight years to do so. The Flyers have to give these kids their chance to win what they can on this season, methinks. It's something critical they get the experience.

Or he's very lucky. Electricity isn't something to mess with. One of my first jobs I was in an Entry Level position making 8 bucks an hour. They had me changing ballast in light fixture hot. The voltage was 277. That voltage kills more electricians every year then any other voltage.

Well, he's not grabbing 10 gauge wire or Ballasts while doing it. If 12 or 14 wire is carrying that much juice, it's noticeable

The thing is....

Bryz is going to be the guy come playoff time. Regardless of how he has played to this point, does anyone really believe otherwise?


Sure they think Lavy plays the goalie who gives us the best chance to win. But in the end that will be Bryz.

All this carousel does right now is distract the team and give the media enough ammunition to continue to distract the team.

The ONE thing I DO NOT trust Lavy on is how he handles the goalies. After the (frank)ing joke that was last seasons playoff goalie carousel, I have no faith at all in Lavy's goalie formula.

He was wrong when he gave up on Bob after game two in Buffalo. I don't care how the series turned out, I think Bob in net gets you the same result.

Now it is happening all over again. These head games with the Goalers will come back to haunt them. Because instead of a clear cut #1, he will have two guys who have no idea which end is up. Neither will be where they need to be.

Bob wants to be the starter, but he also knows that the first loss or bad game he is ALSO back on the pine. That is no way to run a team. The goalies need to have clear cut roles. We use the same role criteria with skaters, it should also apply to the goalies.

Ive had enough already, and it is only January.

I guess with the type of work you guys do, the voltages are low. And with wire that small so is the amps. The amps are what kills you.

I think old school electricians had a weird relationship with electricity.. my dad and grandpop use that trick.. if you do it right the current only travels through the fingers.

Insane, but you may be right, I worked for an electrician for years when I was kid

He did that for so long his hands were made of asbestos

Has anyone figured out who this mystery #37 is?

Akeson? Ranford? Why not throw yet another rookie into the mix?

That's why I want Bob to play against the Bostons of the world. If he's going to carry the water, then he needs to start playing against those teams.
