I'm done. You continually ignore the other 5 players on the ice and their actions that led to the 3 soft goals....

Enjoy the rest of the game, though I don't think Flyers fans will find any joy in this *****TEAMS***** performance.

A team game.

Each play is made by individuals. Its as if its somehow expected for a team to not let in any shots that are screens, or any shots at all.

The saves Bryzgalov needed to make very average quality. He failed the TEAM more than any other player.

If I payed money for this game, I would have dumped my beverage on top of Bryz head.

No question. At times the goaltenders have been hung out to dry, but for the most part it's been brutal for the better part of the season.

You can count on a few fingers the amount of points the Flyers goaltenders have stolen this year.

4 soft goals in one game is something you don't see in a beer league.

Correction.

5 soft goals.

Here's where the lack of an effective forecheck hurts.

And there's another byooty!

Agree completely. I don't even care about what happens the rest of this game, I'm so disappointed in Bryz's effort today.

"The worst 3 goals given up by a Flyers goalie in years."

Yesterday I read Bill's column about respecting the Flyers "win now" mentality. Ok, thats a flattering way to look at it, but another version of that is that they like to gamble. In this particular case, I really cannot blame them. Bryz is a vet goalie who has stellar career %, including in playoffs overall. This was difficult to predict, but gamblers often lose. And if that is the institutional philosophy, we just have to live with it.

Neither goalie on the roster is good enough, period. It sucks, but that is Flyers hockey, it has been for over 20 years now, it just isn't going to change this year.

Can they suit Reese up?

Another very weak goal ... so bad.... goalies are really letting this team down today. Defense has been bad as well. They have given up it looks like.

6-3 just wonderful

so maybe it's not the fact that our goalies suck, have no confidence and have no rebound control. Perhaps we should look for a new goalie coach...not like Reese was a superstar himself.

I thought they were 5-0-1 in their last 6 against the pens...

Ya, I guess I'm thinking of when Crosby's in the lineup.

Let's try a goalie that does not start with "B"

What a fricking joke, they both suck!

Lots of brain dead flyers today but how can the goalies be this bad???

It has to be the colors that turn goaltenders into mush for the Flyers. Look at Joey McDonald in Detroit, career journeymen, puts on the Wings colors and wham becomes an above average goalie. The Flyers' colors has the opposite effect.
