  1. Bryz was an average goaltender at best when the flyers signed him. Just because a FOOL decided to pay him 51 million dollars what makes people think he's suddenly going to turn into Marty fricking Brodeur. I think Bryzs agent was a genius as he was able to take a piece of **** and sell it for a kings ransom. As to the 24/7 circus do you really think those guys were acting like they normally do off camera? If you do you are as big of a fool as Homer was when dealing with Winter.

    Homer outbid himself, at least in his insanity he trapped weber in Nashville for 14 million a year until 2020

  2. Jagr always tried to eat lunch alone, during that episode he was trying to eat by himself.

    I always thought of him like a adult child, always trying to tell you about something that you find interesting and annoying at the same time.

    As for ducking, it's hard to tell as a 6 foot guy when a puck is coming at your face wether to duck or jump to absorb the blow. Then again it happened twice but I believe he still won those games.

    He was clearly not meant to get eaten alive in Philly. If he remains in the NHL I'd say he should go to Winnipeg and try to replicate his better years in the desert.

    I still hate the horrible CBA the NHL recreates every lockout.

  3. I don't think they were forced to tank they legitimately sucked. The " tanking" part came naturally coupled with the fact that management didn't care if they lost. I think this is going to be a pivotal year for MAF. Maybe he can go to one of Bryzs camps and get some tips on how to mentally prepare for the playoffs as he plays fairly well in the regular season.

    He just needs to remember to

  4. Reminding me more and more of Luongo. When he is good he is really, really good. When he is bad......

    Except Lu didnt win the cup.

    The biggest problem for MAF is when he was drafted by the penguins after that intentionally tanked that year he probably went in thinking he was on a terrible team and really prepare and honed his game to make a name for himself.

    He wins a cup and probably begins to believe its his talent rather than his teammates infront of him that were forced to tank a season for him and Crosby.

    Suddenly he is a hemmoragging wound in the penguins line-up because he was never really that great in the first place.

    I heard bryz was looking for a team.

  5. @

    The guy was not liked by his teammates on 2 different teams.

    Did his whole team really hate him that much? I'm a bit baffled that the flyers would have kept him and were considering not buying him out until next season if he was shunned by most the team while he was in Philly.

    I also only duck pucks I believe are going over the net behind me because a puck off the mask is probably the fastest rebound after a shot and the hardest to track once it smacks your mask.

    Of course $10 million is a lot to let someone score and I can't find the video of sedin scoring on the rebound but I don't think it's a good investment to be removed from the game either. If one of those pucks turned Bryz into PRONGER 2.0. We'd have had issues for years ontop of years.

  6. @ Google Bryz ducks from puck. He's done it a couple of times once in the Worlds against the U.S, and once again against the Canadiens.

    I've seen those goals, I was hoping they were just joking when they said he was teaching kids this method.

    I've ducked pucks while in net as well as rising shots while being a keeper in soccer because I didn't want to let off a rebound if I could get away with the puck behind the net or the ball out of bounds.

    Granted doing this has a huge chance to make you look incredibly stupid if the shot ends up leveling out or knuckling down into your net.

    The last time I seen a puck hit a mask it ended up as a goal as the rebound kicked out to a Sedin twin and the goalie collapsed due to his mask cracking and taking him out of the game.

    I'll be the first to admit that I give goalies far to much credit(playing the position in most sports)

    and I'll never be afraid to say that I'd be happy to sign bryz as an NHL owner, but I'd have never spent 50 million or signed him for more than 4 years.

    @ How good is the pic when you view a stream on your tv?

    Quality is highly dependent on the streamer, but from my Desktop to my LED TV I've managed decent quality(I can see the puck)

    There are a lot of factors when streaming content that go into the quality of the stream. Team Liquid would explain it pretty well

    http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=220584

    However if you're using a official broadcast stream directly, like NHL Center Ice, you should have no trouble viewing the content in a decent quality.

    I'm not sure how most companies broadcast their hockey games but on cable and digital television providers there aren't meany channels providing 720p quality to the viewers.

  8. Oh, I'm not surprised by his lack of a team, I'm just pointing out that the quality of the player talent has little to do with his ability to teach.

    He isn't going around telling people to do some of the things he does wrong on a daily basis, Bryz was just an old slow butterfly goalie, he preferred to be peppered from the points, he over-commits and gets beaten on the deflections every time, he is incredibly slow post to post, his 5-hole is open at all times unless he is stacking the pads and laying on his side.

    For Bryz to have had success in Philly, he'd have had to adapt a more Stand-up style goalie play style, but he had trouble getting the boos out of his ears even when he was winning games.

    Granted he could be doing exactly what you guys have been joking about(you're joking right???) and telling the kids to duck pucks and act the fool in-front of the media the moment they get any sort of attention when dragging a team like Phoenix to the play-offs.

  9. So, I'm slightly confused about the advantages this provides.

    You own a computer? On this computer you watch games via a steaming website like sportslemon? You prefer to have a stream come through a larger screen like a 50" TV rather than a smaller 22" monitor?

    If you own a laptop or desktop with an HDMI port you should be able to plug your computer into your TV and use your TV as a second monitor or as its only monitor.

    Via this method however you may watch your hockey cheaper but you will suffer quality loss as a stream will rarely ever encode beyond 720p

  10. "Bryzgalov opened his goaltending school for 12 elite young prospects on Friday, the third year he’s conducted such a camp. His first session of the summer is in Yaroslavl, with children from the local “Lokomotiv” club, from the same franchise which tragically lost 45 team members when their plane crashed on Sept. 7, 2011. Former Flyers defenseman Brad McCrimmon, coach of the Lokomotiv team, lost his life in the crash."

    At the risk of sounding crass, I know he's doing a good thing here, but I wouldn't want this man to teach my kids funamentals of goalkeeping, under any situation. Could you imagine? Bryz, how do you go crease to crease properly when the puck is behind the net? Or even better, how do you stop a breakaway Bryz?

    In fairness Bryz knows the position and despite his shaky play in net he could very well be a amazing coach for it.

    Wayne Gretzky tried to teach people to play hockey and ended up giving up as a coach.

  12. read this:

    and the point is China spent a lot of $$$$ no? went from basically nothing before 2008 to the second most medals.

    They actually started a program to specifically foster the talents that had the best chance for gold. this program was going on as soon as they were confirmed as the host nation. They were at the top of the medal count because they went after obscure sports and used supposedly underaged girls for the gymnastic events which netted them a ton of medals. The six medals in swimming doesn't seem to be a huge surge to the top.

  13. China -- Swimming

    Basically in the US parents fund the majority of a kids training until they get to a level in which a specific sports association will sponsor them.

    What events? Phelps won 8 medals in 2008 when china spent a lot of money on the Olympics for their national pride and exposure and the French and a few other America's were still the big names of the 312 swimming events.
