Yeah that mask is pretty terrible.
Just once, I would like to see a goalie go with an all white mask, old school style. And not just for a game or two while a new mask is being made, but for an entire season. There is something to be said for the classics.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
I’m just disappointed he got rid of his kids’ drawings; I would have liked to see one make it, even if it was on the mask. I’m not a huge fan of it because I’m not into that style of tiger, but it’s well balanced and the colors are nice. A little busy, but it’s not nearly as bad as Bob’s new mask from last season.
You sir are a gentleman of four outs!
I agree, his kids drawings were the perfect and to me, most logical choice to use. Maybe the Tiger means something to him, I don’t know. But I think what bugs me the most is that it’s just too busy for my tastes.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
I’d agree it’s a little busy, but after seeing Bob’s mask, with the 127 Bobs on it, it seems less so to me. I just think the stripes on the tigers got overly artistic for the scale of the tigers, I think with smaller tiger it would have worked, or with less artsy stripes it could have worked.
You sir are a gentleman of four outs!
From the mind of Bryz...
Hmmmm, vut I do for new helmet? I need somesing…
Vell, I from muzza Russia, but muzza Russia has no orange and black…
Siberian Tigers are sveet… They orange and black
Vait! Siberia is in muzza Russia
So… Siberian Tigers are from muzza Russia… I from muzza Russia… DA!!!
Tigers are sveet
That’s probably about as deep as it goes, lol
Imagine that..
I disagree about the mask. I think its awesome, and a great choice with the tiger. The biggest reason is because its orange. From a distance it will look sick with all of our jerseys plus they’re tigers!? Am I the only one that thinks tigers are fricken badass? Its not like he’s got ferries and unicorns prancing around on a pink and purple mask.. I just think some people have a hard time accepting, well, anything.

I don’t care for the stylized curly “stripes.” Also, I think it adds to my feeling that he’s pretty damn full of himself. He’d better deliver if he’s going to be so cocky. I dunno, that’s just what I get from it… But tigers are badass.

I love it!
If only because I’ve watched Kung Pow! Way of the Fist about a million times, and now every time he makes a save I’m going to be muttering TigerTigerTiger to myself.
My son was born in Ottawa (Go Senators!) to a Father (Go Flyers!) and a Mother (Go Canucks!) who's families root for two different hockey teams (Go Habs!)(Go Bruins!) Little Maxwell is going to have such a confusing life.
Agree completely on the curly stripes. Every time I look at it, I think “why did the tiger get his face tattooed like Mike Tyson?”

NIT-PICK
The " stylized curly stripes" are done in what we call tribal. Its very artistic and creative theme often used in tattooing. To me it makes the tiger look even more bad ass but hey some people don’t like it. That’s fine even though its so suttle that its hardly noticable. But how does having 2 tigers on your mask along with a big fat flyers logo on the front make him seem full of himself and cocky? How ridiculous. Because he put his nickname Bryz on the bottom, like just about every other goalie in the league does?
by kckrebs on Aug 17, 2011 1:32 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Not the name. I took the tigers as comparing himself to a tiger. Like he’s saying he’s that badass. I’m probably reading way too much into it. I already had the impression that he is cocky from things he’s said in interviews, so because of that, that’s what I saw when I looked at the mask.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
So he should have went with some type of ape like creature theme because that’s more human like? Or you just don’t like animals in general?
I really can’t wait to tell people “bryz has tiger blood and adonis DNA!”

Or you just don’t like animals in general?
Huh? That’s not what I said at all. Just forget it.

You are hard to understand. No you did not say that, and I never said you did. I asked you 2 questions haha. I like how your quote starts with or, nice job of mining. But yeah, trying to forget this lol…
The quote starts with ‘or’ because that’s how you started your sentence. I copied a complete sentence that you said. That’s not mining. That’s copying directly a question that you asked me, which makes the suggestion that I don’t like animals at all (you meant on masks, presumably, not in a general sense). And I don’t think I said anything that suggests I don’t like animals (on masks or in general). But you did: that question. The one that I copied. In its entirety. When I wasn’t mining.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
In its entirety.
Does the rule still apply if the sentence in question lacks a subject and a predicate?
Let's open up the old complaining fortress of solitude
I would have really preferred Bryzgalov incorporate his children’s drawings into his mask, or perhaps give me a tribute to Tretiak. Ivan Drago also scores points with me
“By insulting the media, you insult the fans”
No, that logic bridge right there is full of faulty logic. Why are people making such a big gripe over what the league (and most of its fans) consider to be a scrub? So he’s running his mouth. It’s not an all star or even a good player talking shit, but a scrub whose ceiling is an underwhelming 3rd line RW who has “heart/grit/hustle” but really nothing else.
People need to stop getting butt hurt. It’s like if Freddie Mitchell started running his mouth about the Eagles, then you realize its Freddie Mitchell running his mouth, and ignore him

Yeah, I also disagree with “by insulting the media, you insult the fans.” I really don’t think they represent us at all.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
people misdirect their hate these days. I think the media is stupid because it’s quite obvious that their hockey average is well below the other sports. Square peg, round hole etc
Now the fans love the sport they watch, but they refuse to educate themselves and hold cro-magnon man beliefs about the game: fighting deters cheap shots
so yeah, the media doesn’t represent the fans

I think this line of logic is both bullshit and insulting.
You’d be getting a verbal boot down the throat if you were saying Lappy is a scrub not worth reporting on. 3rd/4th line player? yup. who has “heart/grit/hustle?” yup.
Your a pro athlete, your line assignment and superstar status means jack-all about the weight of your opinion in terms of your team/city.
My son was born in Ottawa (Go Senators!) to a Father (Go Flyers!) and a Mother (Go Canucks!) who's families root for two different hockey teams (Go Habs!)(Go Bruins!) Little Maxwell is going to have such a confusing life.
You’re missing out on a key ingredient though: Lappy knows his place on the team. He has no illusions; he doesn’t believe that he is under utilized in a system. Rather he’s a team player, and understands that when the 3rd line is as good as it was for the Flyers, 4th line is where he should be.
Your status is correlated with your place on the team. Sidney Crosby’s opinion is the same as Matt Cooke’s? Come on now, that’s counter-intuitive and insulting to Sidney Crosby.
Carbomb has sour grapes about the situation and it’s coming out in this way. It’s funny how Carter and Richards combined had less to say on the matter than Carbomb did. They were “shocked” that they were traded, yet Carbomb is the one insulting people. I could understand the complaining by Carter and Richards. They are players you build a franchise around. If they are unhappy with management, their opinion carries more weight than a guy like Carbomb, who is expendable. That is an understatement in and of itself

I would say it’s sour grapes too, but I would add that Homer stated that he was going to tender Carcillo, then opted not to do so. As a result, Carcillo didn’t get the $ 1 million+ and had to settle for starting over elsewhere at a 25% pay cut.
That’s a move I agree with. Got Sestito for about half of the salary, and I think it’s a marginable upgrade, too

…unless they take Rinaldo out of camp. Who’s been getting just as much press from the official site as Sestito.

that would be unfortunate, but would give me something to put all of my hate against

I disagree on just about every point.
The only thing I would put in the “not a team player” aspect of Carcillo would be arbitration last year.
Matt Cooke Carried an A for most of last year, this is a horrible example. I might personally think he is a giant POS, but as far as the Penguins go, he was one of the teams most important voices, otherwise there is 0 reason to put a letter on his sweater, his play certainly didn’t deserve it.
And a player like Carbomb has much less to lose by being “sour grapes” as you put it. Carter/Richards are still Marquee players, Carter is going to be a face of the franchise with Nash. Richards is likely going to be back into Selke territory depending on how he’s used and teamed with in LA. I doubt either their agents, new teams, or new GMs wanted them mouthing off about the Philly situation.

the fact that Matt Cooke carried an A on his sweater is an atrocity to the sport. If his voice was a prominent one in the locker room, it is no shock to me how the Penguins underachieved in the first round against TB.
Thanks for pointing out that Cooke held an A last year. Only time I’d give him a letter was if I was playing a game of hangman, and the board read, “J_CK_SS”

I don’t really care what carcillo says about Philadelphia media. I suppose it is a Siberian tiger on his mask, I like it. I was kinda getting a little tired of everyone doing something about philly.

Leighton’s Broad Street Bullies mask was pretty sweet, but I think my favorite Flyers mask is probably Roussel’s “sea monster” mask.

Although it’s fake, I would actually be very happy if the jersey looks like that. I can’t think of anything better.

The A-Team article is so full of win and the Philly Reign response to Carcillo is so full of facepalm that they cancel out and I remain neutral.

I didn’t even really understand the Philly Reign response. “Here’s a middle finger, but only a picture of one, the rest of this article won’t really contain much of a verbal one.”

Haha, true. It was kind of all over the place.

I didn’t read the responses so the article is awesome.
Though instead of the fans being Mad Murdock, it should have been Zac Rinaldo since he is pretty much insane.

I love the mask.
It’s different, it looks cool and it’s orange. It’s better than Bouche’s last mask. But I want to see how it looks live in a game, so hurry up and start the dang season.

Eww that mask. It’s gross. I love his phoenix one and wish he used the same concept. And the tigers face looks weird. What about Bobs?

Geoff Detweiler: our own little ball of hate.
I don’t get his affinity for tigers. Did he just read a biography of Gen. Claire Chenault and his Flying Tigers or something?
family crest perhaps?

I wasn’t mocking your sense of style, I’ll leave that to others who know you better. Whatever floats your boat. I was referring to how there is now yet another thing about Bryz that you don’t like. Is it really so hard for you to find something, anything, about him that you do like? Seriously?
He’s a good goalie?

That’s a question, not a statement. C’mon, I’m gonna help you get through this. Type that again, only this time use a period instead of a question mark. Do so and you fulfill the prophecy of this Fly-By. You can do this!
Awesome randomness.
One of the pitchers from our team just came upstairs to give me a present. The present was a playoff giveaway t-shirt from last season. How awesome is that? The shirt is the Seek and Destroy one which is pretty cool but it’s extra cool because I got it from a professional baseball player. Haha
Flyers Fans: We've survived Lock-outs, Lindros and Cooperalls. If you want to get rid of us, you'll have to split an atom or two.
This just in: The Flyers announced that NHL veteran center Michael Nylander will attend this year’s Flyers Training Camp on a Pro Try-Out.
