The Quigster Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Failure mode:Bryzo&Bobbo, All other discussions are mute until these guys are replaced. They are a blight on the whole team. The most important acquisition Homer could make is a Goalie. Until somebody starts stopping the puck,this team is going nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 interesting take - first time I heard "goaltending" mentioned as a problem this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canoli Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ha - yeah I read that yesterday - Tocchet telling it like it is. Earlier in the article he talks about hating the shootout - I notice you left that part out (!) - but whatever - I still find it hard to agree with him. You're going to burn a roster spot for a guy who's specialty is Shootouts? So he can win you (maybe) 4 or 5 extra points a year?I guess it would all depend on what else this "specialist" could do on the ice, but the way Toch describes it you'd think he was okay with the guy riding the pine for 65 minutes and only going in as a shooter. Is that really practical? Dress someone who sits game after game, and every 2 weeks gets a crack at a shootout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hold on, let me guess, all Holmgren has to do is shake the old "goalie tree" and out will come a 1999-2000-esque Martin Brodeur? Oh, and I heard 29 other teams were blowing up Holmgren's phone begging for the services of one Ilya Bryzgalov. Always insightful as usual Quigly.....

MDFlyerFan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 HF: good sig! I never thought the shoot out was a good idea. A couple of months ago I posted here supporting Bryz and said he needed more time to acclimate and would come around and be the goalie we paid for...That doesn't seem to be the case. What goes better with crow: wheat or rye bread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Bryz is 5-3-3, 2 29, .920 since january 1If you can't make 2.29, .920 work for you as a hockey team, it ain't necessarily the goaltending... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillygrump Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any chance we could unload Bryz to Chicago? Would they take a chance on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalFlyfan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any chance we could unload Bryz to Chicago? Would they take a chance on him?No way. They went through the same thing with Khabibulin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying. That 5-3-3 could be 7-3-1. Certainly more reflective of a 2.29 / .920 goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
