Hopefully Bryz redeems himself or BOB posts another W saving performance.
redeems himself for what? he actually(key word is actually bc its def not the norm in his case) kept the flyers in that game against the jets, we didn't even have a shot on goal until 12min in. he kept it knotted at one through regulation and overtime and gave them every chance to win. whats he gotta do, score the game winning goal(hextall) too? Bottom line:THERE ARE A LOT OF FLYERS THAT NEED TO REDEEM THEMSELVES FOR THE JETS GAME BUT(And this is a first) BRYZ ISN'T ONE OF THEM.(Excuse the caps i don't have a bold option on my phone)

I think our defensive game kept us in that more than bryz, they didn't have a shot on goal until past 1/2 way in the first.
Yea, he did have nice saves, but most of it wasn't him.
Yes, Bryz DOES need to keep playing well to redeem himself imo.

i can agree with that, but i'm willing to give bryz a clean slate these next 30 games(we are still only 5 pts out of 1st in the conference after all) and put that wretched first half performance behind me. he started the 2nd half with only 1 goal against and a decent SO showing. thats as far back as i'm going to let my memory take me. we all know its how we do down this stretch that matters the most, so i give bryz a first half mulligan and hope he doesn't make me eat my words come game 82
Got to be honest, Shelley did not play bad in last few games. Still do not want him.
i really have to believe that lavy see's that sestito and rinaldo have way more of an impact on our line up than shelley.... sestito knocked chara down with a clean hit for fracks sake.
