Unfortunately for Ilya Bryzgalov, the fans in "Vinnypeg" might not pay too much attention to this video clip. I think he may have waited a bit too long to offer his apology...
I always dislike that "I am sorry IF I offended anybody" type of apology...even from someone that has trouble with the English language. Back when his original comments were made, he came across as ignorant and (incorrectly) bashed the city for not being up to his standard...THAT is what he should apologize for...
That said, I (personally) can't hold a grudge for too long; the guy seems kinda harmless...and he is trying to set things straight. Nonetheless, he will still be mercilessly BOOOOOOed tomorrow afternoon at the MTS Centre.
It will be the kind of booing that the fans enjoy...as opposed to literally wanting his head on a platter, if that makes him feel any better?!
A Winnipeg Jets win would surely feed the beast (the fans)...until next time!
Chris Pronger, Daniel Briere and Peter Laviolette look ahead to Saturday's game against the Jets. the game on Saturday at MTS Centre.
Ondrej Pavelec looks forward to a better outcome than the last time the Jets faced the Flyers.
Evander Kane looks towards Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers
Once again, the Jets perform at their best effectively minimizing the Caps' efforts. This game surpasses the last (against the Bolts) as Winnipeg's best team effort yet.
Wheeler finally broke his dry spell with his first goal of the season in honour of Pat Sajak being in the house! #WheelerOfFortune
Evander Kane and Ondrej Pavelec could have flipped a coin to determine the 1st Star of the Game.
With Ovechkin's admission of having a less than stellar beginning to his season, Bruce Boudreau discusses how Ovechkin's game has changed for the betterment of the team...
A lackluster performance by two of the worst teams in the NHL, at this point.
Hopefully, the Jets can turn around the losing streak some time soon.
While the self-imposed penalties issue was (somewhat) corrected tonight (and the refs weren't horrible), it (sometimes) STILL looked like Winnipeg was killing a penalty at full strength?!
The Jets kind of rallied with a late goal in the 3rd...but unfortunately, it was too little, too late.
Thank the Hockey Gods for Pavelec keeping things close to respectable for the Jets.

Scott Arniel talks to the media before the Blue Jackets take on the Winnipeg Jets.
History favours the Blue Jackets, who have won five in a row from the then-Atlanta Thrashers, including three shutouts, dating back to 2005-06 and are 8-5-0 overall.
Who wants it more...or maybe more accurately...NEEDS it more!? Go Jets Go!
Time for some dramatic changes from a few key players. The players that are on IR are sorely missed, although the call-ups from the Ice Caps (Festerling, Flood & Postma) are holding their own (more or less)...
