Unfortunately that's not saying that much.

No....No it's not.

Not to sound like an idiot, but let's put the stats aside for a second. Both in game 2 and in game 3, Bryz was the best player on the ice. If we want to blame him for having a subpar performance in the Pens series; go right ahead. But learn to pick your battles. There is no reason why Bryz should be getting hated on right now. Bad rebound control on the OT, sure. But overall, best player in games 2 and 3.

agreed, but i don't think he had bad rebound control...certainly not on the winner, and the puck was flipping and rolling and he just whacked it. my criticism of bryz is that he doesn't APPEAR to really battle for the puck. he made a lot of great stops tonight though. just not enough.

To be fair he sucked when he was with the Pens for their playoff run in... 2008??
- nhindian

He did well for not giving up. It's for me a bad change and Lilja looking like a spectator and not somebody who should have made a play on it.

AT LEAST THE PHILLIES DONT SUCK

OH WAIT

HE COULD STOP THE DAMN PUCK WHEN WE NEED HIM TO

He had 4 tough saves to keep them with in 1. Youre clueless and your shtick sucks.

Boucher would of stopped the devils first goal today.. He still lets in a softy per game

Amazing what playing against a team that actually plays defense is like

No but he made the save, Lilja stood and didn't even make a play on the puck or the man. Had he done that they are heading to double OT not wondering how to even the series.

We all know Bryz has to be better. But it's not all him. He played out of his mind in game 2 what's he get for it them not playing in front of him. He didn't pretty well tonight what's he get for it sloppy play in front on him.

does it make you feel better if i say matt carle blows also he and lilja can walk rather see bourdon make bonehead rookie mistakes than those 2 stink it up

Wtf happened to grossman. Worst dman tonight yah u heard it here. So many chances to step up and he's intimidated by the speed of te devils. What the f was Gustafson doing on that change. They had the puck and he just skates to the bench? IMO this is on lava to figure this out. The effort is there it is misguided.

The season is essentially on the line in game 4. Who would have thought that after game 1.

Couturier better be ready to go.

I doubt there will be any more of this (frank)ing pre game nonsense.

I'm more concerned with how the Devils are scoring at will.

I don't understand why that is but your right.
- stveshdy

they are forechecking the hell out of us. while their D have all the time in the world to make a pass. You cant blame bryz, he's been inconsistent all year.. but so has everyone else. Just gotta take it game by game.

- ob18

I thought he played it textbook... 2v1, let the goalie take the shooter... Bryz did, but let up a good rebound and couldn't get over in time to hug the post.

I wouldn't put that on Lilja or Bryz really.

They could win three in a row but not playing like this.

I wonder what you look at when watching games.

i can't believe some people are content with losing to a terrible team

Flyers are having too many blown coverages. I dont understand how this is happening.

He still has to be feeling the concussion.

But he was still better than Gusty and Lilja overall.

I was surprised by not just Roo's ineffectuality but also his passivity. No hits in 2 games? Thats not the guy I have watched for 4 years.

Okay, time to step away or I'll critique this thing into the ground.

Let's hope Lava can get these guys back together. Too soft, too indecisive, too slow. Obvs the next game needs to be a STATEMENT GAME for sure.

Three of which were stoppable.
- MrBuzzcut

perhaps. what's so irritating is that brodeur is swiss cheese at the other end too. he's a shell of himself, and they won't get the puck on goal. perimeter, perfect play bullpoop has to stop. he gave up 3 tonight, and all 3 of them were brutal.

I thought he played it textbook... 2v1, let the goalie take the shooter... Bryz did, but let up a good rebound and couldn't get over in time to hug the post.

- nhindian

That part was fine after the shot he needs to close in to clear the puck and take the man he did nothing.

He will be ready to roll for the Rangers series.
