Ah ha ha ha ha ha,
Okay, so my last two posts have really just been attacks on the Lightning for their recent play, and I've been really nasty specifically to the goaltenders, stating among other things that Dwayne Roloson's NHL tank is empty and Mathieu Garon is a temporary measure who doesn't give the team a chance to contend.
This, I felt, was validated by Roloson's brutal stats is his recent appearances and the fact that Garon let in three goals on eight shots before being pulled against the Sharks.
And then I opened my big mouth and suggested GM Steve Yzerman look at what Philadelphia did in acquiring a serious starting goaltender in the amusingly quirky Ilya Bryzgalov, who just happened to start against the Lightning tonight.
And how did Bryz fare against the Lightning?
He allowed his first three goals off just eight shots. Since the Lightning could barely muster a shot in the first and third periods and yet still managed to score five goals in a 5-1 win, this shining example that I held up for the Lightning to try and emulate, Bryzgalov managed a stunning .688 save percentage against the Bolts.
I think the Bolts responded to my comments in the best way possible: by kicking the shit out of the Flyers. I wonder what Bryzgalov's monlogue on 24/7 will sound like after getting destroyed like that.
It's only because I'm wasted that I think the Lightning would actually be trying to slap the words back into my mouth. Apparently Mathieu Garon is the starter now. And the Lightning would like you to know that they can win with him in the net, even in games when they are badly outshot.
Okay, guys. We get it. Settle down.
