I do. I think Holmgren could have landed more.

So you don't think Bryzgalov has done that this Season or last Season? Did you notice the number of times Bryzgalov bailed out his teammates today with big saves?
- MJL

Yeah he's made some nice saves and even been really consistent and I don't blame him on almost all the goals he's given up. He's played as well as he can I think but maybe in spoiled from seeing a lot of hasek. That's what I mean by stealing games. We just don't seem to ever have that from bryz. He looks good when he's square to shooter and on his angles And focused on the puck but look at shoot outs. I mean he just seems a little less than elite but effective at best. Was hoping for more with that contract. Would rather have a price fleury qUick bernier miller type I guess that's all

Clarification: You're saying he's both 'a little less than elite' and 'effective at best'?

Obviously Jonathan Bernier is superior to Ilya Bryzgalov, and the cost is only Sean Couturier
- Jsaquella


That's a high price tag for Bernier.

in other words he's effectively a little less than elite at best.

MA Fleury, who the Flyers lit up like a Christmas tree last year and has been outplayed by Thomas Vokoun most of this season? Bernier, who has never been a full time starter? Quick who has looked pedestrian after a stellar season last year?

Problem was Homer is friends with Burke, he might have felt bad if he did that type of deal.

I would take Ray Emery. He looks fantastic.

You keep mentioning Bernier. Now you're grouping him in with top NHL goaltenders. Bernier has played all of 51 NHL games. I could care less about shootouts. It's a gimmick. You're comparing Bryzgalov to a Hall of Fame goaltender. And Bryzgalov's Cap hit of 5.6M is peanuts for a Goalie playing as well as he is right now.

I agree, but it is what it is. I like Schenn, he's played pretty well for the Flyers.

I posted and talked about how the Flyers changed their play in the defensive zone weeks ago. The changes aren't really a big deal. Minor changes. Both Defenseman on the puck down low, instead of one staying at the net.
