brelic Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bryz was scratched again the other night. His record is now 1-3, .887, 3.20.It's only 4 games, but seems like he picked up right where he left off.It's gonna be a long 8 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 @brelic On the bright side, any win the owners get would mean reduced salary, which would mean reduced cap, which in turn would have to include a buy out clause...I would think. Bryz is not doing himself any favours with his play in a VERY weak league. A league where Scott Munroe is a star for God's sake!!! This is laughable!!

radoran Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Most reports I have seen have no buyout or amnesty clause in them - another poison pill for loophole seeking owners.Given that CSKA has two goalies already - and we've not been reporting which of the other two got scratched in Bryz's outings - this does seem a tad overblown.This can also easily be seen as preseason for Bryz - who didn't get a preseason.And, yesit's another example of how screwed up the decision to give him that mammoth, loophole-seeking contract was by Flyers ownership.

idahophilly Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He can't get any regular playing time so he is rusty. He hasn't even had what we would call a pre-season. 4 games spread over a month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, Kovy has like 23 pts in 11 games (OV is averaging a point per game), and Radulov leads the KHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, the top 7 rated goalies in the KHL have all played 3 games or less, with another 4 in the top 20 playing less than 10 games. http://en.khl.ru/stat/players/222/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahophilly Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's facinating to me how you just HINT at saying something nice about Bryz and it's like a lightning rod!Let me try this...I love the way Bryz loves his dog!

jammer2 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 @flyercanuck Curtis Sanford at #5 in the KHL...I rest my case, that league is crap....which does not say much for Bob's start, at the bottom of that long list....at least he's *on* the list...huh?

Poulin20 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Bryz is an excellent dog owner. (See, I give credit where it's due.)There I fixed it for you P.S. I wonder if now that he is back in Russia if "the shirt" is back in the rotation! (see below) Edited October 29, 2012 by Poulin20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 @Poulin20 That shirt is only ugly because Bryz was injured and hasn't recovered fully yet. And the guy smirking in the background should know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Quit being so diplomatic. He blows I aint being diplomatic - im focusing my rage on the people that brought him here, gave him that contract and are now saying we cant have hockey because morons gave players like bryzgalov contracts like that.

canoli Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Oh lord. Much more of this - .887 with 1 win in 4 starts - and nobody is going to want Bryzgalov playing for them. EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN - in a mickey-mouse league like that. Holy crap.Okay it's his "preseason." Fine. But who the hell wants to see their goalie put up .887 even in preseason? God he sucks.But he's kind to his dog so that's something I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. We can blame Bryz for his play on the ice, but SNider is the moron who signed him forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 @brelic Snider is an idiot for signing him. But bryz is the one cashing those checks and playing stretches of games where it looks like he's never played hockey before in his life. I didn't like the signing from day 1. But if he played decent goal it wouldn't seem like the next decade may as well not even be played as a Flyer fan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us feared that he was a product of a tight defensive system, and that seemed to be evident last year with our run and gun style. Bryz is Bryz, regardless of what you pay him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Some of us figured he was being overpaid from the start. But there's not many goalies in the history of the NHL who have had that "deer in the headlights" look after so many goals as Bryz did last year. Throw in his horrible puckhandling, his cluelessness to where the play is, slow reaction time...I never expected Marty Brodeur in net. I just expected better than Marty Feldman in there.
