Someone asked on Twitter where all the Bryz haters are now. I don’t think the answer is quite so simple as to respond to on Twitter so I will do my best to explain with an analogy…
I don’t hate Bryz. Am I bitter with his performance the last couple of seasons? Do I think he could have done better? Yes to both of those. But lets go back in time here for a second.
When we first acquired Bryz, he played very well the first few games. Then it was down hill from there (he has had his moments, but mostly downhill) and now he has played quite stellar these last few games. Am I gonna jump on the Bryz bandwagon? Am I going to start singing his praises from the roof tops? Not yet. Let me explain.
Bryz is like an ex-boyfriend come back and wanting to date you again. He’s said he’s changed but you are not so sure. You need some time to think about it and observe and see if he really has changed.
You started dating him a few years ago when he moved here from Anaheim. He seemed like a good guy and that he had his shit together. Then he met this guy (in this case Fuhr) and he wasn’t such a great influence on your man. So you break up with him because you just can’t trust him 100%.
Now fast forward a few years and the friend has moved away and your boy starts turning his life around. He comes back and says he wants to be with you again. You aren’t so sure. So you tell him you just want to be friends and see where that leads. So he goes balls to the wall to show you he has changed and win you back. Can he keep it up? Can you just forget the past so quickly? Can you just forgive how badly he treated you in the past? It’s hard to say at this point in the season. I need more time. I need to see if he is for real or not. I need to make sure there isn’t an implosion.
I’m not going to jump on the Bryz bandwagon. I’m not going to just assume he has changed.
A girl’s got to be careful which goalies she gives her heart to. Can’t get it broken too many times. 🙂
