Bryz was bad in game 3 but he was a lot better than his numbers say in the first two games. I'm sorry but there's only so much a goalie can do and Pittsburgh's goals were just good goals in those first two games. Guess you missed the glove save he made on a wide open letang to his blindside.

Or the kick save in game one. He made a few saves in the first two games that were certainly game savers. He also had a save (i believe it was game 3) that kept it a one goal game, and ended up making another right after it and the flyers transitioned up the ice and made it a 2 goal game.

There is also an arm save that reallly stands out in my mind.

Bryz has been solid enough.. and has come up with some huge game shifting saves... especially in games 1 and 2.

Unfortunately.. the style of plays both teams have elected to play by, are not very good for goalies.

Flyers definitely need to tighten up going forward that's for sure. I just think the offensive juggernaut that Pittsburgh is, opens up any team's defensive efforts. That and the Flyers are a little gimpy on defense right now too. Bryz definitely needs to be better than he was in game 3 but if he plays like he did in the first two games, he could be conn smythe winner.

No doubt. I think at this point we have to accept he's gonna have a bad game a series. On a team like the Flyers they should be able to weather that.

One thing I can promise you is I'll always be a flyer fan I might hop on another team's bandwagon when the Flyers get eliminated but they are my favorite of all sports teams.

I think that says it all.

So why the hell does the league have him doing this game? He should be in a lower profile series.

Dear Joe. Step back away from the bong please.

Especially with what went on last game. This game and Series needs officials who know how to control a game if need be.

actually i didnt we all sometimes close our eyes and good things happen.for 50 mill i would expect him to play like rinne or quick,sorry i dont except sub par goaltending for that kind of money.the way he moves around in the net he reminds me of cechmanek.just my two cents

All I can do is post this. That is a save that might have saved the season right there.

u better hop in yr funmobile and get a refill.

Good, Cechmanek was an outstanding Goalie for the Flyers.

To be fair Joe.

Bryz did say "He shot it into my glove"...

- JoeRussomanno

Great save, no doubt. But he's only the 4th most valuable player on his team right now. Let alone the rest of the players playing in these playoffs.

Okay guys. Non hockey related question, but I respect all your opinions, so I'm going to ask.

Money is tight right now and I have an upgrade for my Cell Phone coming up.

I use sprint.

I want to get an iPhone but I'm conflicted. I can get the iPhone 4 for 99 bucks, or I can get the iPhone 4s for 199. The 100 bucks makes a big difference in my pocket, so I want to know if the added features of Siri and the faster speeds are worth this extra 100 bucks...

No.

at first glance i thought the photo hadn't been photo-shopped. it just looks so natural on him.

Now it's time to enjoy a Shock Top IPA

we have to sweep them. if we give them any life, it will make them very dangerous. it almost never happens, the 0-3 comeback. when we did it we got gagne and carter back for game 4 (if memory serves) and they lost krecji in game 3 or 4 (can't remember which). we're still healthy (amazingly) and they're 3 regulars short due to suspension and likely to be missing ineffective dman martin. i can't see them coming back, maybe they win 2 games, but NO more unless something catestrophic happens
- flyerscup2011

Everything is in place for a sweep ,loosing neal a home game etc. It may be 3-0 us but all the pressure is on us to end this. From reading all the pregame quotes I think all our guys know that.

Maybe I should get cocky knowing the players wont be and finally allow my self to stop worrying.

Bryz has made multiple game saving and momentum swinging saves in all three games this series. We have to keep in mind that the Penguins were the highest scoring team in all of hockey. They can pretty much score at will.

The Flyers definitely need to tighten it up and Bryz surely can play better, but I seriously doubt we will see this kind of offense from The Rags, Broons, Devils etc. Nor will those teams allow the Flyers to put up the kind of numbers they have been putting up.

This whole series has been the perfect storm of offensive hockey.
- MBFlyerfan

ya i agree he has made some great saves but what if the flyers score 3 tonight do you think they win?
