Article clean up[edit]

I've removed the following statements from the article to alleviate the lack of unsourced material: *He was "rented" to a second-league team (which used to be a usual practice for rookie players in Russia), Spartak Moscow but soon was spotted by his main team, Lada Togliatti. Bryzgalov played two seasons there, but decided to break the contract because of some conflicts with team management. Many Russian teams tried to compete for him after that incident, but Bryzgalov decided to try his luck overseas.

  • Long considered to be the future goaltender for the Ducks
  • the team chose to allow Bryzgalov to develop in Cincinnati, where he could adjust to the idiosyncrasies of the North American game, and become better prepared for duties at the NHL level, while also receiving the majority of the starts and significant playing time. (ie. I removed this because at the time, he was behind Gerber as well on the depth charts. It is more likely he simply lost the backup position to him) Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rights traded to Flyers in the Lead?[edit]

Is it really necessary to mention his rights were traded in the lead? Considering there is nothing in the lead about his time in Phoenix it seems to have undue weight listing it there. I didn't bother to remove it since I have the feeling that it will just be replaced by an anon user who doesn't bother to read that it's already in the article. Thoughts?--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 20:15, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and I've removed it. The date is already mentioned in the lead sentence and even that will be removed by June 1st. --Izzygood (talk) 18:37, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, Thanks.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 18:59, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missing quote[edit]

Hm...noticed this article is missing one of Bryzgalov's most important contributions to sport, his famous quote: "It's only game...why you heff to be mad?" Perhaps an entry on WikiQuote would be more appropriate? ozhu (talk·contribs) 20:02, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
