Good to hear from you! Wine is here...and waiting. As for a conditioning stint..that might help in terms of confidence building. The guy needs help.

Best wishes for 2012...glad to see the Old Farts here on the board.

Peace,

Bryz just looks detached. That is the only way i can describe it. Look at HBO Episode 3 close and you'll see what I mean.

I'm not seing this Flyer team, especially D like Colburn, really reacting well to this guy.

You don't have to go any frther than last night end of the game with the way the team met Bob.

The first leaky goal that goes in, the Flyer fans are going to be merciless on Bryz.

He will want to be home with his lovely wife and children baking Russian Christmas cookies and enjoying the holday.

Let's see if that does more to his psyche when it happens on a national stage, with longer-term consequences than not starting him.

Bryz could be the real story of the game.

If you are a Ranger, you got his number and shoot high.

As they said in The Grinch, "Not right".

Welcome back BOI

I feel like I never left. This is where the real Flyer hockey enthusiasts live and breath.

Thanks for the welcome back.

We know this dude's play is sub-par so far. The short-term question is whether he turns it around this season? Longer-term, is this an unmitigated disaster or a one-year "blip?" Changes of venue for any worker can be tough. Only time will tell.

Best,

Howie

Howie:

Bear is back. Hope the sun is at your back and the wine chilled.

I would say Laviolette will have patience for maybe 2 goals against Bryz (1 if soft..) in the WC.

He just needs an excuse to insert The Bob. Holmgren or no Holmren, Bryz will end up in a conditioning stint in Adarondack if he does not show on the big stage Monday that he is the #1.

BOI

The Bob. Monday. Be There.

Flyers 4

Pissburgh 2

Huge saves tonight when needed.

Now we have a goalie controversy.

My money? The BOB...

Play him Monday.

Interesting how Comcast is playing this down, probably under marching orders from the Flyers.
