So, the Flyers are playing the Panthers tonight. It's the last game before the ASG break. We sit 4th in the Eastern Conference behind NYR, BOS, and FLA. The Flyers lost a hard fought match against the Bruins on Sunday(1/22) in a SO. Scott Hartnell recorded a hat trick and the team played well as a whole. They only fell when Bryzgalov couldnt stop anything in the shootout. Which brings us to our next topic: Iyla Bryzgalov. Bryz has been playing under everyone's expectations lately. Sure, he could be better but you have to cut him some slack. He has been in the Western Conference all his career so far and the East plays a different style of hockey. Also, adjusting to a new team after being with one team for like six years doesnt take a couple weeks. I think the rest of this season is gonna be up and down because he is still getting used to how things work with the Eastern Conf style of play. We all have opinions and that was mine.
Mid season grades for the Flyers are the following:
Offense: A+ (Everyone can score)
Defense: B (Lapses in front of the nets and bad turnovers resulting in goals)
Goaltending: C+ (Inconsistencies in both Bob and Bryz)
