Ducks Gameday: The Best of Ilya Bryzgalov

As you definitely already know by now, the Ducks brought Ilya Bryzgalov back on a tryout contract because all of their other backup goalies are injured. This is great news for us, because Bryzgalov is hilarious (sometimes on purpose, often not).

In no particular order (chronological nor otherwise), here are some memorable Bryzgalov moments brought to you from the YouTube and social media world...

Starting with this legendary interview:

Bryz's first tweet, in which he hashtags himself:

Hi guys!!! #Bryzgalov

Blondes and dogs...

Speaking of dogs...

Today was driving around Moscow city and was amazed by one dog! This dog was crossing the road exactly at pedestrian crossing))))

While people were crossing that same road in a completely bizzare way everywhere but on the pedestrian crossing. What an amazing dog))))))

Bryz discusses what he's affraid of...

Bathrooms in Russia are really fucked up:

Childhood is when you are running from the bathroom in the middle of the night, happy you didn't get eaten)

That time Bryz started playing Angry Birds Star Wars edition:

And finally, that time when Bryz was so bored with the shit-style hockey that the Minnesota Wild play, that he stopped paying attention so he could instead let fans take selfies with him...

Hopefully the Wild go back to that old boring style again tonight...

Gameday

Bryzgalov does something funny. Ducks still lose.
