bobrovsky

i think he could be the real deal. i just read an article about him. i knew he had pretty impressive stats on a not so great team. the reason he was not drafted was because teams were worried he would not sign with them. he is close to the nhl and might be ready by next year.

Good article. I really like this quote "It's different hockey," Bobrovsky said through a translator. "I have to get used to it. But it's all doable."

I don't know why I like this quote so much, but i do. Reserved but confident? Hopefully he is a quick learner as he should be in the AHL for the season and hopefully fighting for a spot the year after.

funny you say that because sarah baicker said something similar. he is quiet and does not speak english although he is confident.

hopefully Z can help him with that and get him speaking broken english at least by mid-season.. gotta be a huge pain in the ass to not know what everyone is saying all the time

he sure as hell better.. he's played a few NHL seasons, and from that i would say he's lived in the US for a few years..

When he played with the Rangers he didn't speak english. He did sign autographs on the street though

 

[scottflyers88]

yea i think in his interview he spoke through somebody.

that little scum bag.. he better learn it this time around.. i wont tolerate non-english speakers on my hockey team! (unless they are very new to the country)

Interesting note: Bobrovsky has the highest cap hit for any goalie the Flyers have had since Biron. $1.75M per for 3 seasons. Not exactly the chump change we should be paying a 21 year old rookie goalie.

 

[scottflyers88]

that 21 year old was getting offers from a lot of teams most likely and he actually has experience in a pro league.

funny scott i read about this guy to...maybe one to two years away but finally a goalie in the system...how long has it been...

unless he scores 40 or more goals. than he can speak pig latin for all i care.

Riopel could be a guy to look out for too...

I guess he will be in camp, start out on the Phantoms, hopefully learn the NHL game and win alot of games for the Fylers. Is that the plan or am I missing something?

 

[scottflyers88]

you seem to be correct.

 

[anderwho2513]

Yes, you are missing something. A little something from Sweden. I want to say Henrik Lundqvist Jr, but I don't think that does him justice...

eriksson is at least 2 years away.

 

[anderwho2513]

eriksson is at least 2 years away from winning 16 straight Cups for the Flyers.

Fixed.
