Perhaps it's appropriate that Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov was given jersey No. 30 by GM Paul Holmgren during a news conference introducing him to the local media Thursday at the team's practice facility.
Fact is, the Flyers haven't had a goalie win 30 games since Martin Biron did it in 2007-08.
After inking a nine-year deal worth $51M with the Flyers on June 23, one would expect Bryzgalov is a prime candidate to produce both.
Bryzgalov said he hopes to approach 40 victories in his first season in the City of Brotherly Love.
