keep living in the dream world where the goalie never does wrong

I wonder what you look at when watching games.
- ob18

oh really you didn't see matt carle stink it up and lead to goal 2 or 3 which ever the (frank) it was i'm too mad to remember the exact one or did you see the last goal with lilja? (frank) some people are just fake fans

Okay, time to step away or I'll critique this thing into the ground.

Let's hope Lava can get these guys back together. Too soft, too indecisive, too slow. Obvs the next game needs to be a STATEMENT GAME for sure.

Same here, they didn't do well all around tonight but it surely wasn't all on Bryz.

I'm not a guy that shies away from criticizing a goalie, but man, I just don't get what some of you guys see. The Bryz of tonight on a better defensive team, like LA, or NJ, doesn't let in 4 goals because things like point blank Kovalchuk shots don't happen. And nothing terribly "leaky" went in. Elias is a good player... sometimes good players make their shot. It happens. I was ready to give up on Bryz earlier this year for the rest of it, but good god, the team play was atrocious at times tonight and all of game 2. No goalie overcomes that. Watch the other games in the playoffs. It isn't happening. These goalies with great stats are getting great support from the rest of the team

does it make you feel better if i say matt carle blows also he and lilja can walk rather see bourdon make bonehead rookie mistakes than those 2 stink it up

Considering MAB is still suffering from two concussions in a short time frame I'm sure that's not the best choice.

they are forechecking the hell out of us. while their D have all the time in the world to make a pass. You cant blame bryz, he's been inconsistent all year.. but so has everyone else. Just gotta take it game by game.

Unfortunately, the team D situation isn't going to be solved this season.

It was pretty unimpressive all season except for a stretch in March.

i can't believe some people are content with losing to a terrible team
- 2Real

I am getting right to burn my neighbor's car as we speak...

I was surprised by not just Roo's ineffectuality but also his passivity. No hits in 2 games? Thats not the guy I have watched for 4 years.
- PT21

he's playing like jeff carter

I thought he played it textbook... 2v1, let the goalie take the shooter... Bryz did, but let up a good rebound and couldn't get over in time to hug the post.

I wouldn't put that on Lilja or Bryz really.

Ah, but you aren't a Flyers fan. Every loss is the goalie's fault. No matter what. He could be playing with 18 pylons and it's his fault. Were they better tonight? Sounded like it. Were they good tonight? Didn't sound like it. And I'm not a glutton for punishment. The winning goal happened as I walked in the door from work. I don't plan to watch the Tivo.

is he a devils fan?

G must be hurt. (frank) he is invisible. I can't get over grossman he's exposed

Or was it the goaltender?

They could win three in a row but not playing like this.
- MrBuzzcut

They have to win 3 out of 4 now. Not easy. It can be done though.

Do you expect them to be perfect and go 98 - 0? I don't, they make mistakes sometimes they get away with them & sometimes they don't but it's not always the goalie or a player you don't like.

- PT21

he looks injured to me but i can't wait to see this fanbase turn on him like they do everbody else

Wow, as I type that, Quick lets in a turd through his legs. Cripes

perhaps. what's so irritating is that brodeur is swiss cheese at the other end too. he's a shell of himself, and they won't get the puck on goal. perimeter, perfect play bullpoop has to stop. he gave up 3 tonight, and all 3 of them were brutal.
- hammarby31

Two of the Flyer goals were awful.

I didn't get a good look at the second one.

watching our d play the puck out of our zone is a goddamn nightmare
- flyfan1212

It is. Just lots of standing around, and being too casual with the puck.

It's almost like they constantly caught off guard at how aggressive the Devils are being. You'd think they'd know by now to move quickly, the pressure is coming.

they are forechecking the hell out of us. while their D have all the time in the world to make a pass. You cant blame bryz, he's been inconsistent all year.. but so has everyone else. Just gotta take it game by game.

If you watch the Devils in their own end they have two defenseman behind the net and the two forwards pinching low as well. The Flyers need to do a better job using their point men.

The Flyers are off their game on offense because they cant get pucks deep because Brodeur plays it so well. They need to figure out another way to get the offense going.

Defensively they need to just get the puck up the walls. Trying to do to much and make the perfect pass too many times.

I give the Devils credit for their play but the Flyers are playing dumb hockey at the same time and not working hard.

Do you expect them to be perfect and go 98 - 0? I don't, they make mistakes sometimes they get away with them & sometimes they don't but it's not always the goalie of a player you don't like.
- ob18

matt carle makes a dumb mistake pretty much every game that leads to a goal
there's a reason why pronger is injured he had to carry that bum on his back

perhaps. what's so irritating is that brodeur is swiss cheese at the other end too. he's a shell of himself, and they won't get the puck on goal. perimeter, perfect play bullpoop has to stop. he gave up 3 tonight, and all 3 of them were brutal.
- hammarby31

That's what so disgusting...


The goals he allowed today were just as bad if not worse than Bryz's.


Yet these imbeciles are too busy being fancy to just get the puck on net.

Ah, but you aren't a Flyers fan. Every loss is the goalie's fault. No matter what. He could be playing with 18 pylons and it's his fault. Were they better tonight? Sounded like it.

I guess it's my black and gold glasses, but I thought Bryz made some very timely saves (2 breakaway stops)

He's definitely playing better than he was in Rd 1...

Wow, as I type that, Quick lets in a turd through his legs. Cripes
- eayost

keep typing please

is he a devils fan?
- 2Real

Said he doesn't like hockey. Will serve him right.

agreed, but i don't think he had bad rebound control...certainly not on the winner, and the puck was flipping and rolling and he just whacked it. my criticism of bryz is that he doesn't APPEAR to really battle for the puck. he made a lot of great stops tonight though. just not enough.
- hammarby31

I blame goes on Bryz, then some of you are mis-guided with your hate
