doom88 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 @doom88 -montreal's gm stated recently that they're trying to get bigger and grittier instead of the ice capades passing show that they send out there every year. translation: not interested in briere.They would still love a #1 French canadian centre.

Vincent05 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 http://bleacherrepor...adulent-numbersI thought this was an interesting read and analysis. Perhaps good food for thought...Don't agree with that assestment of our goalies. Yes Bryz played against better teams but would he have won against the Canes and Isles? I don't think we pull out a W in those 2 games. Bryz has been given chances to be the no.1 goalie but he has failed so far, I know this is early but this is reminding me of Nitty. Given every situation to nail down the starting job but can't.As for Bob, we have seen what he's capable of last season and so far this season. Bob has outplayed the 51mil bum and deserves to run with the job until he falters. I don't blame Bob for the playoff performance, he was a rookie and played in more games then he was acustomed to. It's not like he was a highly touted prospect like Price or MIller and if it wasn't for Bob standing out last season our goalies would've been Leighton and Boucher. Would you think we have had as much success in the first half of the season with those 2?For now I think Lavy will play the goalie that gives us a better chance to win every night, it's not the right time to let Bryz find his game. If he does let Bryz find his game, a losing streak of 4-5 games can have us on the outside looking in. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahophilly Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm not buying into everything he said. Just think a different view gives that bit of food for thought. There is some truth (not absolute) to the trends though and goalies are a crazy bunch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 @doom88 - Briere has a NMC, why would he agree to a trade to Montreal when he turned down more money to play there than what the Flyers gave him? I think he made it pretty clear that he had no desire to play in Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I know, but that was several years ago. I'm 99% sure Briere waives his NMC for no one. His family is entrenched in Philly.I was thinking that Montreal could be interested in Briere, not so much the other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
