Bryzgalov's act wearing thin on Flyers

Well, only what, 8 years left on that contract?

Bryzgalov, Luongoal and DiPietro.

3 reasons why you don't give goalies long term contracts.

Add the rest of the Pylon's, err, I mean Pronger's contract to that and the Flyers have a bit of dead weight on the roster, eh?

They also gave Van Reimsdyke a nice fat long term deal as well & that kid is as soft as Charmin.

Well, at least they still have their best two forwards. Oh, wait, no they don't.

And still one of the top teams in the league - amazing

Mr. Holmgren is Mr. Snyder's Rasputin. Flushing away loads of money.. the Bryz signing was insane for terms and length. What has this guy ever won anyway? What has he proven? INstead of trading away Carter and Richards for offensive depth, he should have flipped one or both of them to a team for an elite 'tender... Rinne? Kipprussoff?

Wait till Giroux becomes a free agent.....

He reminds me of two old J. Geils songs 'Musta got lost" and "First I look at the purse"

Go figure. In all fairness to Bryz, if he would have been in goal against the Pens he would have lookied great too. The Pens take a lot of shots but they seem to only hit the goalie or the post.

I feel like saying 'told you so'.

I said a long time ago that Bryzgalov would be a terrible fit with the Flyers, and that Bob was gonna be better than Bryzgalov this year.

When? Where? How much longer?

Does he want to come to Toronto?

Who am I kidding, of course he wants to come to the Centre of the Universe.

Giroux will be a Leaf by next season!

When this discussion was going on over Bryz it seemed to make sense to everyone if they gave him a 3 year deal. Everyone saw him as a mentor to Bobky who definitely has a lot of potential. The problem is the absurd length of the contract.

Bryzgalov was just a terrible fit, at any amount of years.

He came from a defensive trap system and he sucked in the playoffs. Did the Flyers really need to go out and get another Russian goalie who has a history of sucking in the playoffs? Have they not had enough of those yet?

He signed a three-year extension last year.

This coming from a Leafs fan.... hope you enjoy missing the playoffs again you delusional canuck. Keep voting for your team for the all star game. I rather Boston rest there players and play in a REAL game. The Stanley CUP! -Go Bruins

This is what you get when the owner gets too involved in player personel. Ed Snider pretty much told Flyers GM Paul Holmgren to get a goalie and so Homer traded for the rights to negotiate with Bryz and WAY overpaid him. 9 years for a 31 year old goalie??? They could have signed Vokoun for 1 year like the Caps did, as he would be insurance if Bobrovsky wasn't ready for primetime this year. But now Bob has played better then Bryz, but they are going to have to eventually go with Bryz because of his contract. What a mess!
