If this team trades for a goalie they are done. There will be so much distraction. It will be a circus in that locker room and in this organization for the rest of the season. Especially if they give up Bob and JVR. If they are even thinking about this Homer should be fired on the spot.

It would wreak of panic and shortsightedness. Enough of this nonsense. Rally around what you have and make it work. Bryz needs to play better, and this team needs to stop breaking down more than a 1979 Ford K Car.

No one is guilt free here.

A reminder for the silly season. If it isn't a link to a legitimate news source (not a rumor blog, not a non-full-time sports reporter/news service) or a copy of a tweet with full sender info (preferebly from a Verified Twitter account)

DON'T POST IT ON HB!

People have enough trouble sorting out and discussing real trades without people disseminating fantasy stuff.

And if you want to discuss Ek's blogs, please do so on Ek's threads.

Thank you.

As long as the new guy stops the puck everything will be just fine.

Yea could be fake, but so could this, either way it sparks conversation which I thought was the purpose of a message board to begin with.

And the Flyers players need to learn to believe in each other and work with each other. You do not have or can find a quick fix to this so either they suck it up and work together or just plan a summer vacation now.
- ob18


I think the summer vacation is coming soon. This team hasnt changed much and they seem to be getting more frustrated with the goaltending. Whats happening right now reminds me of what was going on through the second half/playoffs last year.

And as soon as he starts letting up the same goals as everyone else between the pipes because of the team breakdowns it will escalate to Three Ring Variety.

Its a chicken and the egg argument. I happen to believe the breakdowns and bad luck goals started first and got in Bryz's head. And then the bad goals started from Bryz, and that got in the teams head, and it has been a viscous circle ever since.

Whoever is in net is going to fall in to the same cycle.

It's not always easy to notice but when somebody only starts posting 5 days ago it shouldn't be too hard to see it's not likely a real person with contacts.

nothing wrong with posting some rumors with a link. however an account opened up 5 days ago isn't a rumor it's somebody probably wanting to post random stuff to see who takes it and runs with it.

Im not defending the guy , but i read his tweets going a lil back . He interacts with some actual philly sports writers/bloggers. Hard to see real writers wasting there time with some fake rumor site. Like i said ..believe what you want ..but everything will be known by 3pm tommorow.

I'm still trying to figure this rumor out. Giguere is signed through next year at a very cap friendly $1.25 million, seems to be a very good teammate. Still trying to figure out why Col would move him.

Only way Colorado moves him is if they can add more picks or younger prospects. Giguere isnt their long term answer with Varlamov in the fold.

Exactly, so look at the Flyers, would Col just want a 3rd for him? Doubtful. I really have no interest in sending a Cousins, Bourdon, or Gufsty for him.
