The facts are that his teammates have said he is intelligent and knows what he is saying to the media. I am not prepared to give Bryz an IQ test and an English test at this time but if you have the results of said tests on hand I am prepared to accept your results provided they are authentic.

It seems like you are throwing alot of crap against the wall and trying to see what sticks.

He may not handle the media well. There are alot of Americans who can't handle the press. All I said he understands what he is saying, it is not a "lost in translation" issue.

What you said is that Bryzgalov brings it all on himself. And then offered what a couple of ex-teammates said, as fact, to try and back it up.

Don't forget to call Mason a bust after the game.
- Atomic Wedgie

there was a bust in here earlier.

Since when is "zip" required on a drop pass?
- Jsaquella

you mean besides never?

The 80's were such a different era.

Yeah, exciting!

I don't think he's been terrible. First one was a tad weak, second goal was through a screen and had eyes.

He's stopped 2 breakaways.

then he shouldn't be playing on the first line...or maybe at all.

Laviolette's trying to get a good forecheck going. Thus far it hasn't worked. It was a stupid pass, but smarts never were Hartnell's forte

that would help. Wasn't that Chara he was fighting a few weeks back?

- FlyerGuy

That was Luke.

Yeah, exciting!

Good to see you Stavros!

We have to wait until he's making more money. It's ok to allow bad goals if the goalie isn't well paid...unless his name is Michael Leighton.

Wrong. Time to face facts steve-o. THE SYSTEM causes those drop passes.
- BringBack25

Well played.

I'm just talking about his passes in general. Blame the foot. Everyone else gets an excuse.

I think he's been pretty good. I'm happy with what he's shown.

I know Brayden Schenn was trying to make something happen but it was very ill-advised for him not to dump the puck in deep and go off for a change when he had the chance to at the end of that long shift and forced timeout.

That sort of bad fundamental hockey has bitten the Flyers time and time again this season.

Center Ice came with Extra Innings.

Bad break.

Leafs fans vs. Flyers fans - whose pendulum is heavier?

Too close to call, really.

Canada 2 USA 2 - Kessel's sister can really dangle.

I didn't see the first period. But I thought he looked good in the 2nd.

That feels like its been an issue for years.

Yep and with a 21 year old it's going to happen. Too often this year the vets made mistakes.

It's a lot easier to forgive Schenn than Hartnell or Coburn.

The poor play from vets has exacerbated the younger players' inconsistencies.

Mason has been decent not great, thing is not a whole lot of dropoff between watching Bryz play and watching Mason today. Not saying Mason is the better goalie obviously after one game. However speaks to the cost ratio of the two players which next season will be pretty large.

wow ... pathetic shift by the Flyers.

Mason has played pretty well. He should of stopped the first goal but other than that hes been solid.
