Voracek has been better than Bryz.

Perhaps, but he had a slow start. Bryz's start was hotter than Crims' crush on Kate Upton.

I'm okay with that. But Bryzgalov is still right up there isn't he? So the point is the same.

There is zero substantial evidence to support that Meszaros is all about money andlacks character.

Where did that come from?

The guy busts his chops and gets back early from an achilles injury. That alone shows he is not just about money. It screams positive character too.

Weird statement.

We are all perplexed. The guy who said that hasn't been back today either.

I'm a mutt. I get to claim 15 or so ethnicities as excuses to cry foul.

I hate when they sterotype themselves "Italian guilt" "loud Italians". "Were just typical Italians". Uhh.. no, you are just using that as to excuse your obnoxiousness.

My buddy thinks because he is Irish he can drink anyone under the table. Drives me nuts.

Agreed 100%. All that is just as bad as gender roles!!!!!!!

Blinded by hate.

Hate > Facts

The roster in 2009-10 was perfect for his system as well as the 2010-11 team for the most part. Since, he hasn't made the necessary adjustments.

You know, I believe that if they pick up a defenseman with a good two way game to replace what Kimmo gives them, and get a solid third pair,

AND when Couts and B Schenn play the high level two way game they project being capable of, they will succeed with Lavi's system.

But I don't know if Lavi will make it through this season to see that.

Another reason C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite writers:

"In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people’s we do not accept them easily enough."

But you have confidence in the team in front of him to give him a good chance to clear something after he makes the first save? Pinning the blame on Bryz is the popular and incorrect move.
- Flyskippy

First of all, I've been a Bryz supporter for the last year or so, after last February basically. I'm not saying that he's awful, but for the cap hit the Flyers are absorbing, he's not currently delivering. What I was implying is that he's getting paid to be a top-10 goalie int he league and, quality of shots faced included, he's not playing like it, so I'd rather that money go to resigning young players and try to get a young goalie who could hopefully develop into a star.

And no, I have no confidence in the defense either. I understand that it's the goalie's job to make the first save and the defense's job to clear it. As much as I like a lot of these players, some moves need to happen, and some tough decisions will have to be made by management.

Basically, I guess what I'm saying is that I have little to no confidence in the majority of this team. I can live with a season or 2 of growing pains if they win a Cup in the next decade. Snider probably can't, but I don't see any quick fix that will turn this team into a contender (including firing the coach). I'm fine with a tear down and a build around G/Coots/Schenn/Simmonds/Jake, trade some of the vets for picks/prospects, develop some semblance of a defense, take a shot on some promising goalie prospects, and maybe in 3-4 years you can contend. Right now, this team is in place to regress unless a drastic move is made (see: Flames, Calgary).

No I'm not a feminist at all. Most feminists are also sexist. I'm for equality across the board.

The 14 teams that don't make the playoffs get a shot at the number one pick rite??

the Flyers didn't win the lottery when they were by far the worse team in the league so I have no hope that the hockey gods would shine on us
