The main problem with all the "expectations" of bryzgalov is people have the 2010 finals mentality where all we needed was to replace leighton with a good goalie and we have a cup. We completely changed the team tho, so last year was a joke either way. we put together an entirely different team over the course of 3 months not to mention the fact that most were inexperienced young ins. It was unrealistic to think we should've won a cup last year. factor in the centerpiece of our team being lost to a career ending injury and i think things are a lot brighter going forward than all this impatient ******** and moaning would lead people to believe. also They are expecting bryzgalov to be good long term (thomas, roloson) which is why they signed him so long. He takes care of himself, doesn't drink etc. so i don't think they just randomly threw 9 yrs. at him cause they were desperate to get him.
