The Phillies season can’t start soon enough. Or least kick off the Grapefruit League season.
That’s because what appeared to be such a promising Sixers season has hit a speed bump. Last night they lost their fifth straight game heading into the All-Star break. Doug Collins needs to use all his coaching skills to right this suddenly foundering ship.
Then there’s the Flyers and Ilya Bryzgalov. There must be a curse on this franchise when it comes to goaltenders. The Flyers gave Bryzgalov a nine-year, $51 million deal. Everyone thought he was the best goalie on the market. And of course as soon as he donned that orange and black sweater, he turned into a basket base.
It’s not too late for Bryzgalov to prove his critics wrong, to rally and carry this team through the playoffs. By the way, without Chris Pronger, whose career is now in jeopardy as he battles concussion symptoms, this team will go as far as Bryzgalov carries them.
Right now that’s not very far.
Let’s go, Phillies.
