not my best night. first period was rough...but nothing that was garbage. all breakaways and rebounds with no support mostly. they got some bounces too. i made some excellent stops throughout the game. 2 2 on 0s among others...that just shouldn't be necessary. at 40 and playing once a week, i'm only going to be able to do so much.

bottom line is i need to be better, and i have to find a way to stop the endless oddman rushes and point blank slot chances and get rebounds to safe spots. it's a tall task. and i'm only 5'9" on a good day.

Nice pads, reminds me of the one's Razr used to wear when he played here before the hip injury.

Yep, at a smaller cap hit, too. I'd like to keep him for a year or two at between $2mm & $2.5mm.

He's a capable guy, plays in all situations and still has some tread left on the tires.

That's about where I'd love to get him at, but I think he'll have some interest around the league and could get 3-4 mil and he'll go for the $$$. This is Gags we're talking about here, and those new Lamborghini Venenos aren't cheap!

How's your puck moving?
- Just5


sub par. always has been. i'm a natural right handed shot, and having to shoot left handed with big goalie gloves is hard. i know my limitations and try to make the safe play. not afraid to go behind the net and stop the puck for my dman and can make a decent outlet pass.

Same crap that went down when they signed Shelley for three years. Not sure why he needed two years either but its not bad at his price.

it was a fundraiser/exhibition game against a team from CommVault. They have a foundation that raises money for children through hockey. The team i am with is the US Masters (ie, old farts) competing in the Maccabi Games this summer in Israel. We were guests of CommVault and attending the pregame party/auction at the Lexus Club, had comp tickets to the game, and then played afterwards.

We got hammered in the first period, but settled down in the 2nd/3rd. Only our 2nd game playing together. We have another practice weekend in June in South Bend, Indiana. Maccabi Games are in late July.

Bryz, you converse much better with the written word than with verbal communication

P.S. you look much taller on TV
