Ilya Bryzgalov Already on Dry Island

At the end of Bryz's introductory press conference (which took place after a light workout), he joked that he was winded when putting on his jersey:
"I gotta quit smokin'… Actually though, guys, I'm not doing drinking."
Unfortunately, Paul Holmgren was out of frame at this point, but I imagine his reaction went something like this:
A few months ago, we learned that Bryz is a longtime resident of Dry Island, where he owns a weathered beachside cottage with wind chimes that sing with each passing Bryz (sorry- I had to). He quit drinking at age 17.
Watch video of the awkward moment after the jump. The hushed silence that befell the room was priceless. I apologize for the screen grab taken in the middle of the stream…
