thank you Bill for your guidance and plethora of information

Bryz sure sounds like a dude who is landing some parting shots on his way out the door. If he returns, it's going to be an annoying dynamic.

Yeah. It amazes me how much heat he takes. He's usually honest and entertaining in interviews. Why kill the goose laying the golden eggs?

I'd love to see him stay and win the Vezina next year, and just flat out dominate.

Bryzgalov will win multiple cups for the New Jersey Devils in the next 6 years

Because Philly media has made a hobby out of sucking the life out of anything that moves.

The length of the deal and the cap recapture penalties worry me.

But I like Bryzgalov. He's a funny guy, he does care about winning and I think he's a good goalie.

no I get it, just making a dumb comment

If it wasn't for the Cap recapture, I wouldn't have any worries about the deal.

i feel the same

ive always had my doubts about him but ive grown to like him more than i thought i would. the main thing that scared me were Bill's recent comments about other players being annoyed with him. not that something like that cant be overcome, but if there is a negative vibe i dont think its healthy

It all goes away if you win. If this team had a good year, and was in the playoffs right now. You wouldn't have heard anything about it.

no doubt
my concern is that a negative vibe in the room can make it tougher to win.. or play as a unit.

but again, its probably overblown

It's a concern, but it can be a non factor. I really have concerns about What they would do if they decide to pull the plug. There's options, but nothing really enthralls me out there, unless there's a trade from left field that I don't see yet.

Thats where I kind of come in.

If what Bill says is true, then I have some concerns. Winning cures all, but there will always be points in a season, or the playoffs where a team faces trouble. Downstreaks, or real adversity.

Is Bryzgalov the guy that will help the team overcome that, and be a positive force in the locker-room? We will see what happens.
