Bryz sucks, so the simple answer to your question is yes.... Michael Leighton could very easily take over the Flyers starting job
I've seen every Flyers game and Bryz hasn't been nearly as bad as their record suggests. In fact he's been ok.
Their defense is just utter shit right now and the offense hasn't been able to make up for it like they did last year.
Just so you know... you guys made me so nervous with this thread that I had to go out and grab Leighton in my DobberEntry league pool. {sigh}
Patience...for this too shall pass.
Head to Head League: 1 point for G, 1 point for A. 2 for Goalie win, 3 for SO.
Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
Protect 3 players every year in keeper.

F: Crosby, Point, P. Kane, JVR, Kopitar, Rakell, Tarasenko,
D: Letang, Doughty, Karlsson, Grzelcyk, Faulk,
G: Bob, Shesterkin, Demko, Kahkonen
Sorry to throw a monkey wrench into all this, but imagine if Subban (PK) gets traded and lands up in Philly
I realize that that topic should be a separate thread on its own but couldn't help but wonder.

We're seeing tonight how much of a threat Leighton is to Bryz. Even Bryz can't suck enough to lose his job to Leighton.

the easiest way to make sure you dont have a goalie controversy is to let your backup play the team that is tied for first in goals per game this season
i mean seriously what coach puts the backup in the game against the toughest competition rather than the starter
meanwhile bryz got to play the team tied for the fewest goals per game this season last night
that should have been switched around
but if you want to keep from creating a goalie controversy you make your starter look good and your backup not so good
Yeah I didn't quite understand the decision to throw Leighton to the wolves in this one.
My buddy told me he think it's because Leighton is 4-0 against the Lightning in his career.
Well, that was a long time ago....
Though it was the second game of a B2B...Leighton got dealt some crappy cards here lol.
I might be in the minority but I think it'll click for Bryz this season. Maybe they're playing Leighton against the tough teams to keep the lid on any controversy, but as a Bryzgalov owner I have no isue with that.
