Josh Rimer: The Latest on Bryzgalov
What Bryzgalov is up too

- JoshRimer


As one of the 6 Flyers fans that liked Bryzgalov, I'd have to say that I agree with the Pens throwing an offer out there.

He's a good goalie, but he's also a distraction. I'd hope that he can focus and realize that he's looking at his last shot in the NHL.

Also, I don't think there'd be anything close to the media issues he had in Philly with the Pens beat guys.

The only thing I am pretty sure of is that they need to do better than Jeff Zatkoff for the #2 option. Fleury already has enough question marks, and while Bryzgalov carries some of his own, he at least has track record of some quality play in the NHL unlike Zatkoff.

In Pittsburgh he won;t have the weight of a 9 year deal on his shoulders, nor will he have anywhere near as hostile a press corps on him. Compared to the clowns we have, the Pens beat guys are as soft as a cup of pudding

I really wanted to like Bryz.. Even spent the money on a (china) jersey with his name on it. But enough was enough in Philly.. The real question would be if the "bears" would be in attendance if bryz was a penguin

They had no choice but to buy him out this past summer. The big salary, long term of the deal, mediocre play and the potential cap recapture penalties if he got hurt were killers.
