You have never been to a furry convention. I went to one once, because I lost a bet, and it was terrifying. I didn’t go to the bathroom all weekend, it wasn’t safe. It’s never safe.

Apparently he’s not kidding about it. I read a thing from HNIC where it was something about when he was a kid in Sibera a few of his friends were killed by bears.

There is a very real reason Bryz is scared of bears. Check out the DVE podcast from Wed. morning. Flyers beat writer tells the story.

What was Fleury doing on the Breakaway goal? Briere didn’t deke. He didn’t even shoot a great shot. And yet Fluery rolled over onto his back trying to make a fantastic save when really all he needed to do was keep his body in front of the puck. That goal was totally weak

I don’t know… I’M pretty terrified of furries, so maybe Bryz really was being honest.

pens5829, Fleury must be a very generous man because he sure likes giving gifts to opposing teams.

Haha, too bad he didn’t say trout, because fish costumes would be so much more hilarious.

Well said. I love the smug attitude they have, as if Bryz is really concerned about a bunch of idiots dressed up in furry costumes. If anything, he’s probably laughing at them for looking stupid.

How many Flyer goals were gifts?

Haha yeah I know. Sorry, just reading some of the comments on here that come from certain Pittsburgh fans makes me re-think things regarding the city. I guarantee we’d do the same silly things here in Philly. Jag’s is definitely onto something… Pittsburgh needs to deliver!

It’s all in good fun and it makes the series more entertaining.

Now about those beautiful naked women that he’s supposedly afraid of…time to step up Pittsburgh!

I don’t get it… Bryz makes an off the wall statement, so the entire city of Pittsburgh is out to get bear costumes rented to “try to get into his head”… Do they legitimately believe that this is going to scare and distract Bryz?

I’m afraid of bees but someone in a bee costume isn’t gonna scare me. Let alone cute cuddly ones. This begs to question: Who is really in who’s head? Bryz is coming off like a regular Professor X the way Pittsburgh has responded.

Hulk hogan – not enough
Bears – not enough
Naked ladies – who cares? that would be sweet!

Both Briere’s second goal, and the OT goal were extremely weak. I’ll even give you the OT goal, since it was more the defenseman’s fault, but the 2nd goal was a joke, a high school goalie should of been able to stop that

Completely agree – this is really fun. The real question, is where is beard-kid???

Some people are taking an article about people wearing bear costumes a little too seriously…

The Philly paper this morning said that Jagr tweeted he wished Bryz said that he was afraid of naked ladies…. Hubba hubba

…I’m starting to think Bryz might be an evil genius. What’s he afraid of? Well, he could give a serious answer- or he could say something ridiculous like ‘bears in the woods’.

Now, opposing fans are dressing in silly bear costumes to try to mess with him… could it be he did this for his own amusement’s sake? If he’d said ‘trout’ would people be wearing fish costumes?

Unlikely, yes, but… it makes one wonder.

Totally agree dsd3.

At least get a Grizzly suit. A 2 year old wouldn’t be scared of that bear.

Hey, why don’t you dress like Penguns?

Bwaaaahaaa!

My mistake, I believe Fleury had one win out of six games he played against the Flyers this year. My bad.

By: dsd3

dsd3 — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:51:49 +0000

None of Bryz’s goals were “soft.” And FYI, you don’t get extra points for scoring soft goals, as your team should know from the fact that they choked away a 3-0 lead.

Also, how many wins has your franchise goaltender Fleury earned against the Flyers this year? Oh, none? That’s right. Good luck with that. And I mean, he’s only allowed about four goals a game for his last 5 starts, but I’m sure none of those were “soft.”

miketoasty — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:46:55 +0000

A breakaway, a perfectly aimed shot, a slap pass that had everyone on the ice guessing, and a mistake by Letang. Yes please blame ONE of those goals on Fleury. Philly won, but trust me in Pittsburgh we don’t care, we know what it takes to win a series and a series has never been won in one game, even Flyers fans know being up in a series 3 – 0 isn’t a guarantee.

Two very soft goals? The only one relatively close to soft was the 3rd one and that was totally a fluke.

Pens fans are lost in the woods. At least put on a ferocious bear costume not one that makes you like Teddy, Yogi or Bernstein.

By: dsd3

dsd3 — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:40:17 +0000

Hahaha, you keep telling yourself that. How many of Fleury’s 4 goals were soft? And who won, btw?
