You know, I’d wager that, over the last two years, about 50% of the hardcore Type OBs who read this site or follow me on Twitter vociferously defended Ilya Bryzgalov against my nonstop grammatical abuse.

Wonder where those people are now.

Bryz has had trouble finding work since being paid $23 million to go away. Most recently, he was spotted coaching his son’s Jaguars Mite hockey team at IceWorks in Aston.

But now… now he has some options.

He may be headed to Vegas with all that money.

From TSN:

Former Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov appears to be Vegas bound.

According to reports, the 33-year-old Bryzgalov is close to signing with the Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL.

From $51 million contract and star of HBO show to…

Scott Hartnell dropped by the Great Sports Debate on Tuesday night, and when asked about how he felt about Bryz as a teammate, he said that he didn’t mind him, but that his act did get annoying. Sometimes it was funny, Hartnell said. Sometimes it was “shut up and stop the puck.”

Now Bryz will have a chance to stop those pucks in Vegas, baby.
