Let's not also forget that they pretty much bankrolled their franchise to get him, ala trade carter and richards.
i'm sure you are confident about 'tending this season, you went from used datsuns to a late model honda civic this year... that would seem like a step up to almost anyone.

If find it very interesting that the captain (Pronger) wasn't with the team during the playoffs.

Also I don't think it was necessary for Holmgren to comment about the negatives regarding Bryz to the media. He's going to be a Flyer for a long time and seems like the sensitive type (I know not exactly a good fit for the Philly area) But he really kept them in it against the Devils and Holmgren should have focused on the positives.

his face = the franchise
they bankrolled their whole team on this guy, and he was a flake. +3.80 GAA in the playoffs?
you fahk'n A right he's gonna get called out, this is philly, not des moines

I would have been more apt to call him out if he bombed in the playoffs. The Flyers/League agreed to the HBO show (which got the comedy ball rolling), not Bryz. Besides there were a lot of other guys who disappeared/stunk against the Devils.

Crosby missed a couple playoffs if memory serves, and I don't think he traveled around with the Penguins during that time.

I know one shouldn't scoff at an injury like Pronger's, but honest to goodness, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Dirtiest a-hole this side of <insert Pittsburgh Penguin here> in the NHL.

"my face is everywhere. Everyone is talking about me. 'Bryzgalov played well,' 'Philadelphia won, but Bryz made a mistake again,' 'Yes, he wasn't scored against but could have been'. . . Guys, but who doesn't make mistakes? And how many [pucks] did I catch before then? But very few notice that. People are so concentrated on the negative that they only see the bad in me. But I think you need to be kinder to each other."

welcome to a hockey market pal, this sh!t aint phoenix or anaheim......

Lets hope the new collective bargaining agreement has the one contract buyout clause that they are talking about adding.

I'm psyched for this offseason. The Predators alone have like 10 guys who any team should be psyched to sign to a long-term deal. Lots of talk of Detroit adding Parise, but I'm really hoping they bring in Semin, who I think would fit with their Euros and perhaps just needs a fresh start out of DC. Ryan Suter is a given.
