I agree that I'd like to see Bryzgalov more upright, and come out and challenge more. But I'd also like to see the breakdown not happen defensively. It was a quality shot.

At this point I'm crossing my fingers for us to stay tied long enough to make it to OT. Obviously I want to win within 60 minutes but outside of a handful of shift they aren't exactly giving me the faith.

That's not too much for Weber. You wouldn't get Weber for that.

I fully agree about the breakdown, as well...poor coverage. And it was a very good shot, hard and well placed. But, if Bryz is on his feet and going out to challenge, instead of on his knees and sliding, he's got much better chance of making the stop.

Again, not a weak goal at all. Just one I think Bryzgalov could have stopped had he played it better. Not a big deal, win the third, win the game.

I want the Flyers to come out and play the 3rd like the did at the end of the Second. They should take this game over. Enough of this nonsense.

He doesn't want to trade either, so for a team to pry either one of them out of Nashville, they will have to massively overpay.

I've said as much since the Weber rumors started. Weber and Suter, if they move, will be Dave Poile's Herschel Walker and Eric Lindros.

Amen. Go kick their (frank)ing teeth out. Press hard and get chances. Match the effort and intensity of the Jets and win this damned game.

Unless you're talking Yannick Weber, they'd laugh at you.

If Peter Laviolette says the exact same thing to them in the dressing room, hopefully it sinks in.

I wouldn't waste the quarter on the phone call if that's what your going to offer.

Not to disagree with you but is this the way that Bryz usually plays against that kind of play? Does he usually come out and challenge? Or is he a goalie who likes to play in a butterfly position?

Breakdowns happen. And when they happen, you need your $5M Goalie to make a save when there's no screen. He needs to come out of his crease and challenge, he's making himself look frustratingly small in net

He's been both in his career. When he's allowed weak goal, it's generally been because his fundamentals were not up to snuff. On a play like that, the goalie should be challenging, cutting down the angle.

Agreed. I would prefer my goalie stops everything. But if he gives one up on a laser shot when the guy has ten minutes to tee it up with no Flyer in the same area code, I can't be too upset with him.

Hopefully the team will pick him up and redeem themselves with a monster third period.

Perhaps we should consider mic'ing up Hartnell for every game. He seems to play really well when wearing the mic. At the very least it would be funny and give us something to talk about besides Bryzgalov or Nashville.

He's given up one goal through 2 periods. Time for the offense to win the game in the 3rd.

I'm not overly upset, either. It wasn't like he let in a routine stop.
