Ilya Bryzgalov is Not the Reason the Philadelphia Flyers Lost to the New York Islanders
I have come across some stuff on Twitter and the Philadelphia Flyers Facebook page after last night’s game blaming the loss on netminder Ilya Bryzgalov. People are pointing out his performance in the shootout last night which the New York Islanders took 2-0 to win the game 1-0.
Bryz earned his 25th career shutout and is the third player to reach that milestone in a Flyers...

Bad Goal Hurts Flyers
from Sam Carchidi of Broad Street Bull, Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov was having a terrific game Sunday until he allowed a brutal wraparound goal to Marian Gaborik, giving the Rangers a 2-1 lead with 5.1 seconds left in the second period.
Bryz said the puck took a “funny bounce” off his stick and that it was like “somebody sucking the puck with a vacuum behind...
