IF ILYA BRYZGALOV IS SO GREAT WHY HAS HE BEEN ON FOUR TEAMS IN TEN YEARS: THE NHL 2011-2012 THREAD (INCLUDING VANCOUVER RECONSTRUCTION, BOSTON HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

GM disappointed by Ilya Bryzgalov

"His job is to stop pucks and help us win games," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "It's not Comedy Central."

The man known around these parts as "Bryz" still has eight more years left to figure it all out.

"Most of Eastern Pennsylvania dissapointed by Paul Holmgren"

"His job is to find a goaltender, which we have not had since Ron Hextall", Eastern Pennslyvania said. "It's not Comedy Central".

The man known as a complete idiot in these parts probably doesnt have much more time to figure it out.

Holmgren making a complete fool of himself in that interview. Love it, as a Devils fan. Keep it up Flyers.

During the hunt he tweeted, “In Alberta trying to kill a few bruins. #unleashthefury,” followed by, “Just killed a Chara-sized bruin! 7ft black bear - 21in skull.”

^fucking loser. My grandfather used to call these guys "pot shotters"-the ultimate in cowardice.

btw waht are you willing to pay to see the kings in the finals at the garden/rock?

― mookieproof, Sunday, 20 May 2012 22:43 (1 year ago) Permalink

idk I've thought about it. maybe 500 bux if it was a potential clinching game

― Grimy Little Pimp (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Sunday, 20 May 2012 22:45 (1 year ago) Permalink

which means either game 5 or 7

you might wanna root for the devils imo

I am totally rooting for the devils but I don't think that's in the cards. I mean the rangers have the potential to wipe los angeles off the face of the earth

also these assholes have to win one more game to even have this conversation

― Grimy Little Pimp (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Sunday, 20 May 2012 22:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

i dunno. i haven't seen the kings much at all, but i think they have at least as much offensive talent as the rangers (i.e. maybe not a whole lot). and the caps took them to seven with a rookie goalie.

they'll have to practice their picks, of course, lol torts

either just a diehard R's fan or Jimmy hasn't been paying attention to the western conference side of the playoffs, imo

I grew up with the LA Kings so I know what I speak of. They will find a way to fuck this up.

Devils-Kings will go 7 no matter what. Kings would probably take Rangers in 5, especially if Lundquist keeps the .500 save percentage he sported last night.

I may fly out to LA for one of the Devils-Kings games out there.

@ Jimmy The Mod two posts upthread

i, too, grew up with the kings and what difference does that make? for the last month they've been the best team in the nhl basically with the stingiest netminder. i just don't understand what "rangers have the potential to wipe...." is even supposed to mean at this point

fair enough
i'd srsly consider taking a couple days off work for a game (live in sf) but i'm not enough of a fan of scalpers and esp their $400 tix. that comment stuck in my craw and seemed a little bit odd 'cuz the Devils have kinda dominated the R's as far as forecheckingways throughout the series anycares.

― epigram addict (outdoor_miner), Friday, 25 May 2012 01:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

you are not incorrect, but. it's okay for *me* to say that, as a non-kings fan, but not you staring at 45 years of futility.

i suppose i'll root for the kings over either the devils or rangers, but the presence of mike richards bugs me. fuck that guy.

if the devils beat the rangers, i hope marty gets tix for roy.

Henrique vanquishes the ghosts of matteau and messier. I may be biased but the better team-by far-won. That power play goal by kovalchuk was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my lifetime of watching sports.
