Too bad he isn't starting. But on the other hand, I guess it is true he won't allow any goals

Can we get "FINISH HIM" gifs? and "FIGHT"! This could be good?!?! Unless it's a race to the bottom in which case it could be bad...

LOL, no. I'm literally the only one of my friends who called Crosby potentially gone for time with this one... As soon as I saw, I had a VERY strong feeling he would not just "be back soon." Just the way he went down, I suspected concussion.

Don't wanna see anyone get hurt, even rusty Sid. But, I would also be lying if I said I didn't feel slightly refreshed knowing Pittsburgh more than likely won't have him back for the start of the playoffs.

tocchet still thinks they try and trade for Weber.......it wont die! (And I hope they do)

i heard that also, he said a young prospect and a top pick...DONE!

Since it's a back to back there's been talk but I seriously doubt it. 1 practice isn't going to make the coaches comfortable with him.

Someone said that Mason signed a 1-year deal? If that's true, I think the writing is on the wall for the following situations:

1.) Bryz will NOT be amnestied in the summer of 2013. He MAY be amnestied in the summer of 2014, depending on what Mason can show during the remainder of this season and the 2013-2014 season. I think this is a sensitive situation, obviously. However, the one year deal says that the team wants to see what Bryz can do with one more full season under his belt. It also says that if Mason completely outshines Bryz in his backup/relief appearances, Bryz will be amnestied regardless.

2.) Briere WILL be amnestied in the summer of 2013. With 2014 being reserved for Bryz's potential amnesty, Briere will have to be amnestied this summer. I understand there is still a potential to hold onto him and use him for his veteran experience/playoff capabilities. But the fact remains that this team is getting younger and some larger contracts will be owed to some of our younger players. Briere's cap hit will not be manageable, especially with a dwindling cap.

Thoughts?

There is no way they can go into next season carrying over a 7 million dollar cap hit in goalies. Bryz is a goner.

It all depends if Briere is healthy or not. If he is still having concussion issues this summer, he cannot be bought out.

I can't help but think that the Flyers could find a buyer for Briere. Big cap hit (helpful to teams like the Islanders) but almost no money actually owed for the next two years (helpful to teams like the Islanders).

Someone will be willing to pick up a guy with a pretty good reputation in the playoffs.

He's probably going to come in at about the 12 minute mark of the second period, though...

Mason will be signed to a lower cap hit.. Bryz won't be bought out until 14 if at all..

Briere is gone this summer.

Briere's been a good soldier here, too.

Sad news today about Crosby. Feel bad for the player. (frank) the Pittsburgh fans
