Is the old, crazy Ilya Bryzgalov back?

[The Nuge]

I was one of the people against signing him, because of his tendency to choke, but he's been phenomenal, and deserves to call out teammates.

 

[missinthejets]

I noticed how angry he was in the Coyotes game and I was kinda glad to see it. He should be angry.

The absolute collapse we see WAYYYY too often and will to finish any game strong is gross.

3 seperate guys made absolutely stupid decisions on the OT winner! Eberle I think to try and throw it back to the point when Petry is not in position for it, Petry for even trying to keep it in when the smarter play was back off and defend and Belov for stopping when he could have at least interfered with Yandle. How is a goalie who kept the team in the game supposed to react when he sees that crap happen in front of him?

Patrick Roy says hello

Yes.
Because Patrick & Bryz have the same pedigree.
And Roy made a habit of it.
And was run off numerous teams.
Great example.
Kudos

 

[Billybaroo*]

While I don't agree with this, if Ilya is blaming teammates it would be behind closed doors at this point. I'd actually be 100% fine with this as someone needs to get through to these guys.

This I agree with

He only played for 2 NHL teams in his career. I don't think 2 is "numerous".

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

russians are lazy *******s

 

[Kulleroinen*]

Wow. Canadian media sure loves russians. I mean, it is not like the first time a goalie snaps at a defender. They should do that if there is a dumb play...

the whole time bryz, after standing on his head, again, is thinking "you have got to be kidding me, this isnt happening is it? ok bail them out one more time one more time, dammit "

When I read I try to pay attention to the authors narrative to look for bias.

Comments like "full on temper tantrum" and "nip the bad behavior in the bud" speak to the author invoking their own narrative as if its the only way to look at it. i.e. "bad behavior" Well who's saying its bad behavior? If you believe it is I guess you believe Bryz is "bad".

Media are always willing to put up guys like this on the cross as Bryz has the balls to confront them and call them out. Media never much like that and much of what we've heard of Bryz has been perpetrated by MSM and other media and with Bryz only too happy to play along for the ride.


Oh, and I wonder what Scotty Upshall would know about professional treatment of colleagues. He seems eager to be throwing one under the bus. I'd question that source as well as his track record ain't sparkling.

This for the Win.

Glenn Hall would vomit twice as much knowing he'd have these players in front of him every night.

 

[Mr Forever]

This would be called leadership if he were a Canadian player.

 

[CornKicker]

100% it would, writing this article without asking the players in the room is garbage, but we all knew that already thats why no one is clicking that link anymore. this is hockeybuzz type trash

 

[Billybaroo*]

Thats a load of garbage.
Man oh man, Im getting as tired of those making excuses for the stupidity of what Yak /his agent & now Bryz do, & characterizing it as some anti Russian thing, as I am about the horrific play of the Oilers.
But I guess no one would have called out Belov for that pathetic display if he was Canadian, right?
Can you imagine if that had been Gagner?

3.
Was a kook in each one of his stops.

its not the fans its the media, they are the anti russian mob, you can deny it if you want but its right in front of your face

 

[SerbianEagle]

Never said they had the same pedigree. He wasn't ran off numerous teams, in fact, you can make a case and say that Phoenix and Philadelphia really wanted him...He isn't the first, or last, player to be bought out...

Yes, it is a great example when replying to your original post.

 

[AJGass4]

I am extremely glad that Bryz shows some emotion out there.

In fact, I am curious as to why he hasn't hit Belov over the head with his stick.

 

[McDynasty]

Something about this article feels very slapdash, trying making something out of nothing? There is very little substance to it me thinks.

 

[Billybaroo*]

Well, I don't think it was the media who didn't give Bryz a contract.Why do you think he couldn't get a contract? Cause he was a normal guy with his teammates?
Nor do I think it was the media who created the ****storm earlier this year with Yak & his agent. That was kinda created by the central figures don't ya think?

Btw that article wasn't even in the hated MSM. It was some blogger. likely in his moms basement. Who knows, it could be someone on HF Boards

You use Roy as the corollary of brz?
Great.
Excellent.
Carry on

I used Roy as an example of an NHL goalie, which Bryzgalov is also btw, who didn't shy away from showing his emotions on the ice, or in media scrums after the game or at any time really. You on the other hand are intent on putting words into my mouth as though I said them even though they are your words.

 

[jukon]

Can he stop the puck?
If yes, I don't care.
If no, he's got bigger problems.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Our defense is a ****ing joke. A ****ing joke!!!
I don't even play on the team and I'm pissed about it. If I were Bryz I would've taken someone's head off by now. They suck, and so does Eakins' 'coaching,' so he can shove it, too.

This is a garbage article by a garbage blogger. Let this thread die before people actually start reading it.
