I hope the Rangers have a better effort in the next round, if they continue this they are going to lose.


Carcillo was the spark

I don't see the Rangers losing until the conference finals. I think
that the Rangers are just too complete of a team for my Pens right now. We barely survived the Blue Jackeys

I agree we need to play more constantly. They had a great game and then took the next one off. Word is Krieder will be back in the Pens series and we know how he likes the Playoffs. Hopefully he can give this team a spark and maybe teach Mash how to score.

We made Mason and the Philly defense all world so dont count any team out

True, but we made the Blue Jackets offense look high octane. I say your offense scores 4 goals a game on us.

Oh I hope so! :suds:

Yeah Johnny, not to bash the Blue Jackets but we shouldn't have made them look that good. Maybe we played down to their level :noidea:

But that type of play won't cut it in this series.

They're young, quick, they're a decent team. Bobrovsky just wasn't as good and nobody could hold a 3-1 lead in a game.

Yeah wasn't impressed with Bobrovsky but for game 5 which he lost.

No real playoff experience, not entirely his fault, but he wasn't ready for it

I personally think he's overrated. Benefits a great deal from playing in a hardcore defensive system. Saw him on the Flyers a couple years back, wasn't impressed.

I like him, think Philly made a mistake getting rid of him for nothing, he's good, I just don't think he's at that level yet

Philly should have gotten more in return but I don't think that he's much better than Steve Mason so Philly fans can't be too upset anymore.

I think he's better than Mason, with Mase, his game is all mental, he could be really good like when he won the Calder, or he can be Bryzgalov-like.

He's got good size on him as well. Takes away a lot of the net without doing anything. I don't think Bryzgalov was really that bad for the Flyers, just that his contract set him up for failure and Laviolette's system combined with the lack of puck moving dmen made it very difficult to be a goalie. Don't forget that Bobrovsky was worse than Bryzgalov while playing under the same system.

His contract and the media. It was a nightmare, he was a ticking time bomb

Yeah, that contract assured that the Philly media would tear him apart. Anything short of a Stanley Cup would've been seen as a failure regardless, even if he won the Vezina. Wasn't a good situation for Bryzgalov or the Flyers.
