Can't they just take Bryz "out back" as they say?
- Flyers1218

To clarify, you're suggesting the Flyers have Ilya Bryzgalov euthanized?

And have a backup goalie with a 5.6 million dollar cap hit?

boston did. then he won them a cup. then he dissed the prez. now he sucks again.

Actually, the first person who had Kostitsyn as a done deal was @incarceratedbob

stop it.

I deserved that one. I was up all night doing an overnight for work and now I'm waiting between classes with my 5th cup of coffee.. I'm over exhausted, yet full of energy. Bad combo.

Hi Bryz... The object to this game is to chase the dragon... just sit back, relax... and chase the dragon... It will solve all your problems...

I feel like a jerk for writing that lol

EDIT: Isn't that what they do in Russia?

When all is said and done, JvR better be a Flyer after 3pm.

While some have already disagreed with me, I feel a big defensive minded center who's good at face offs and can play the PK would make all the difference in the world for the Philadelphia Flyers.

So much blame is thrown in Bryz is direction but I feel Bryz deserves full marks for the win in Calgary. Hopefully his contract becomes a lot like his play in that one game. Rough start and then only got better and better. In my opinion after Bryz allowed 2 soft goals, he really pulled his game together. He then bought the team time by playing so solid between the pipes that the team then followed his lead. Let's not forget, the team wasn't that great either. Bryz had to be good first though. Last, I think that Penalty Shot was a blessing in disguise. In that one moment, it got Bryz ready for the shoot out and did I not see the two pad stack? Right then and there I knew we were going to win it.

Sorry if Bill has already pointed out all of this points. I haven't read the blog yet. I just want to get right into the trades.

Tampa traded Downie for him and then sent him to Detroit for a 1st rounder
- Jsaquella

So basically it was Downie for him.. then a 1st for him.

So either a Downie or a 1st.

Imagine what we could get for Carle

TSN Guys getting scooped by him. They don't have egg on their face, omelette all over their suits.

I remember now... what did Detroit give to Colorado for him? Sorry just lazy today
- jak521

wasnt it Downie for Quincey then Quincey for Detroit's first?

Good to see Boston get hit with the injury bug. Horton, Peverley, Corvo, and Boychuk.

We want to hope that Bob is on the money because he's got the Rags getting Nash and ruining any chance of them putting together a consistently competitive team over the next few years. What is it with Sather, the guy can't resist.

Yep...it is a bit tempting

Too much?
- Flyers1218

Well, it seems kind of harsh, don't you think? Oh, and illegal. Murder is still illegal, right?

You could add guys like Bob, MaB, Gusy, Sestito, Rinaldo, Wellwood, and Harry Z to that list as well.. I think the # of guys 25 or under who have played for the flyers this year is 15.
- jak521

Agreed, a mere two years ago, the Flyers had supposedly one of the worst farm systems in the league. A few trades later, some really good college free agent signings, and better organizational depth then realized, suddenly the face of the organization has dramatically changed for the younger.

He's broken some pretty big moves in the past. He's definitely got some inside knowledge...and I know of at least two Philly area mongers that basically cut and paste his tweets in their blogs

he's hit and miss. He said the Nash deal was done with the Rags and would be announced Saturday night after the game, or Sunday.

I have been defending Bryz to the hilt since the start... But after this road trip I am getting a little frustrated myself... I mean.. Your telling me he had a good performance AFTER he let in 2 soft goals.... Has it gotten so bad that you have to say, "well at least he played well after he screwed the pooch... thats something to build on..."? He has let in too many soft goals, in every game... I can handle a soft goal here and there, but at lest 2 in the last 4 games? Just really bad when you have to defend a guy by saying at least he was good after he sucked really bad....

Agree, I'm not advocating moving JVR, but the development of the young forwards has been very impressive. The Flyers actually have a ridiculous amount of talented forwards under the age of 25.

-Roo
-JVR
-Simmonds
-Voracek
-Read (I know he is 25)
-Coots
-Schenn

A very impressive list.
- ravishingone

dont forget nick cousins even tho he is still in jrs he looks nice over 70 pts and 70 pm

Yeah. He has broken some trades in all sports. He is hit and miss though. A lot of the stuff he says doesn't happen.

Well he just said Gaustad has been traded. So this could be the moment some Flyers fans have been hoping for.

Well it still seems rather harsh. Lord knows if everybody whose job performance was lacking got put down... well, the forums here would be a lot less active from 9 to 5, if you follow.
