Bryzgalov

Ilya Bryzgalov,
Anaheim
Bryzgalov didn't get the
opportunity to finish the
series, but for the first three
games he dominated and
frustrated Minnesota's offense.
And remember, Bryzgalov is
Anaheim's backup. Asked to fill
in for J.S. Giguere, who was
attending to family matters,
Bryzgalov got the Ducks off to
the solid start they needed,
winning three straight one-goal
games. His Game 4 was easily
forgettable, but by that point,
the series was never really in
question. |
