2011-12 Flyers Season Thread: Now With Less Alcohol!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The team that scored first was 1-10 during the Flyers' playoff run.

That's why Bryz was really the Flyer's MVP

Holmgren on Bryz: "his job is to stop picks and help us win games. This isn't Comedy Central."

[Don Ho]

The playoffs turned out to be a pretty rough time for Ilya Bryzgalov. He wasn't exactly stellar in goal and his gaffe in Game 5 was the ultimate highlight (low-light?) for how bad things were for Philly in the second round.

With the playoffs over that usually means getting a call from your home country to play in the World Championships. As Yahoo!'s Dmitry Chesnokov reports, however, that invitation won't be coming any time soon for Bryzgalov.

Chesnokov reports according to Vladislav Tretiak, Team Russia will be sticking by Semyon Varlamov and Konstantin Barulin at Worlds. It's not a totally cold cut-off for Bryzgalov as they'll at least give Bryzgalov a phone call to show him respect for their decision.

Maybe he can do a summer internship with the Russian space agency.  Work with the monkeys.

Randy Miller said Bryz told the Russia media that he would wish this season dealing with fans and media in Philly on his worst enemy.

the irony here is that in the stanley cup final will be the team the flyers traded their two young stars to in order to clear cap space to sign that pos or the team that let him go

if that comment by holmgren is true hopefully its a way of driving bryz back home to russia where he will be comfortable

[SD]

My fear is that they work the amnesty clause into the new CBA and the Flyers don't take the out on Bryz instead using it on Pronger who they can LTIR instead.

Trade JVR + 1st for a young goalie or sign a veteran at a minimum deal
Sign Ryan Suter

A reeducation camp would be a good start.

someone called him the Mcnabb of goalies, and thats about as accurate of an assessment as there is

[ice grillin you]

emotionally perhaps the difference is that mcnabb was a 100 times the qb that breezy is a goalie

breezy aint going to five conference championships and a cup...in fact id be suprised if he goes to even one of those

Pretty much...and I wouldn't go so far as to compare the two emotionally. Mcnabb is a passive aggressive momma's boy while Bryz is a wacky Russian who deflects criticism with dumb jokes. Mcnabb was good at blaming everyone else while Bryz seems to at least take responsibility for his own actions.

how devastating is it going to be when carter and richards win a cup this year

REVERSE MOCK!!

[Seabiscuit36]

Claude Giroux still leads the league in post season scoring lol

[ice grillin you]

too bad he got 90% of his pts in two games against pittsburgh

woulda been nice to have spread some of them around during the nj series
