Love how Rinaldo has learned to not cross the line this year, but his contributions pale in comparison to what Voracek has accomplished this season.

100% correct. You can't even debate that.

Ambidextrous?

Showoff.

it's the only thing people here know to do. i mean, if he could have just gotten a SO, they'd have won the game. all you need is 1 goal. right?

flyers have gone about half the season scoring 2 goals or less per game.

Yeah, I made that point over a week ago - before the lone winning streak happened. Went over like a pork chop in a synagogue.

Got just as much goal support in a losing effort as last game.

EDIT: Unlike Bryz, when Mason makes a save, you don't see loose change and dollars fall all over the ice.

He also made saves on a breakaway, which was refreshing.

Puck handling skills are night and day different. Have yet to see Mason try a poke check but his ability to capture a puck behind the net and clear or pass on his own is light years ahead of Bryz.
That said he wasn't a miracle maker. So when our D got exposed it usually went into our net. With the exception of Mason stopping more than one breakway...
Mason could use some work on rebound control. Of course your D sliding into the puck and through the crease to put it into net doesn't help your numbers much

Of course we've only had 4 periods of play to evaluate Mason but he's not the second coming. He does some things better some things worse.

Still, he's pointless in 1 game and didn't help out the offense at all. Just like Bryz.

His first language is (probably) English, so the local journalists will love him. The local radio guys will hate it because they can't ridicule him with the use of Borat expressions.

he wore the same blocker/glove on both hands and would switch the stick to whichever side the shooter was on.

The media is asking players if Bryzgalov fell asleep in the team meeting.

Full blown circus.

Timmy P shot that one down. I also just heard though that Bryz was quoted in the courtier post that he doesn't care if he's a flyer next year.

Going to be a sweet offseason. Now if we could only trade that stiff b schenn
