Chris Thorburn vs Tom Sestito Jan 31, 2012

[AngusShanks]

For a big guy this Sestito isn't much of an enforcer. I haven't seen him win a fight decisively yet. I think Dave Brown (toughest Flyer ever) could still beat the piss out of this guy. Watch Dave Brown fights and find one he loses. I don't think it exists.

[Gustis777]

I like when they threw eachothers pads to eachother in the penalty box lol

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

lol winnipeg

Got some good pics of this fight being only about 20 feet away.

[Flyers20Fan]

if this hit was on a bruin all the bruins fans would be asking for sestito to be suspended

[XTumbleForceGamingX]

@Flyers20Fan he should have been for his blindside late headshot on Horton. Horton is still out with a concussion. I have no problem with this hit.

[Flyers20Fan]

@XTumbleForceGamingX headshot? wat r u talking about, he did not catch him in the head, it was blind side and maybe a tiny bit late but definitely not a headshot which is why there was no penalty for the hit and the hit was not even looked at by the league

neither of his hits were suspension. this one was clean, the horton hit was a bit reckless but definitely not a suspension

[Flyers20Fan]

@XTumbleForceGamingX this hit was pretty much the same hit as his hit on hortons, maybe the hit on the horton was a quarter of a second later but both were body to body hits from the blind side and possibly a tiny bit late but really nothing dirty, neither were head shots so ....

[Flyers20Fan]

draw, good fight

sestito would hav probably won if thorburn did not hav sestitos throwing arm tied up the whole time but as a result thorburn fought to a nice draw

[gandhiswrath]

We are not going to win the stanley cup with bob so we need to give bryz as much playing time as possible to get him back on track. He has been looking better, now we just need a healthy set of forwards.

[RyuBaek]

I was at the game tonight. Had to see if someone uploaded this. And for the record, in no way did Bryz blow this game. He only let in one regulation goal, and one is the shootout. Absolutely not on him. Both goalies played very well.

[LombardoDrummer]

Great fight. Wtf was up with that shootout? Roux is better than a five hole and Jagr did that twice against Toronto. Pavelec saw it coming a mile away.

[sicfrynut]

elite goalies should win shootouts. his agent constantly said how his client needed to be paid like an "elite" goalie. well i see the big paycheck, where's the big goalie ??

[Loyalty1269]

@sicfrynut good fuckin point.. givin up 4 goals a game isnt what elite goalies do. he gave up 2 tonight but still lost the game. Bobobsky is better

[Flyers20Fan]

@Loyalty1269 he gave up 1 goal that game .... and for u to say bobrovsky is better with very little to go off and still many flaws evident in his game while bryzgalov has proven to be a good goalie in the nhl is just a dumb statement, so by ur logic, bobrovsky is also better than ryan miller? in fact bryzgalov has probably had the better career between him and miller and miller is having just as bad of a year, you know who had bad years last year? howard and halak, look at them now ....

[Loyalty1269]

@Flyers20Fan let me just say first that im from philly. But the fact is bobrovsky is better. the stats show despite bryz has played more games. it doesnt matter to me, bryz reaction time is so slow and he looks like hes half asleep most of the time giving up 4 goals a game. some deflections but u stil have to try and make those saves. hes not doing it. he has a lot of unecessary losses and is not worth the money given to him. sorry but the perfomance isnt worth the money

[Flyers20Fan]

@Loyalty1269 yeah nobody is doubting the contract being too much money and too long but for you to just flat out say bobrovsky is better is just ignorant, stats at the half way mark of a season do not mark who is a better goalie, there are still a lot of flaws in bobs game and just last yera, bryzgalov had a good season with a .920 save % sinc u like stats so much and the year before that he was one of the 3 candidates for the vezina, like i said, so u think bobs is better than miller?

[Loyalty1269]

@Flyers20Fan what i think is that all that matters is this season and this team. im not worried about last year or goalies that arent on the flyers. its about whos producing better play. and bobs definetly is. and he makes 900k this year. every goalie has flaws but at the end of the day bobs is a better goalie THIS year. he gives us the better chance to WIN. thats what matters. Bryz is never comfortable and he gives up

[Flyers20Fan]

@Loyalty1269 who is the better goalie right now? i would say slight edge bobrovsky but that does not mean he just flat out is the better goalie like u said, in fact u called it a fact which is even more ridiculous, so ... u think bobrovksy/enroth are better than ryan miller? its the exact same situation, try to be reasonable and not just judge everything on stats over a half a season

[intoodeep941]

sestito ftw

[Bobrovsky35flyers]

Your an idiot Bryz did good hard to win when they can't score

[leerey14]

way to go bryz you ruined another game. Bout to just throw in the towel on watching flyers games till the playoffs.

[irishman89]

@leerey14 what did he do to cost us the game? typical fake ass fan only watching them when their relevant or doing good.

[intoodeep941]

@leerey14 go cheer for the phillies or sixers because you're obviously an idiot bandwagon fan who doesn't know shit about sports. bryz played very well tonight

[Flyers20Fan]

@leerey14 bryz ruined the game? 1 goal given up is ruining the game? dude shut the fuck up, you hav no idea wat ur talking about, and your about to throw in the towel on watching the flyers? wow, you are such a bitch bandwagoner, the flyers are 3rd in the east in points ... 2nd in the nhl in goals for, top 5 in fights .... wow ur a bitch

[mcoop221]

Pretty tough for him to beat a big guy like Sestito but he didn't do all that bad.

[acomotoya]

@mcoop221 Thorburn is tougher then sestito i think but thats just my opinion but sestito is bigger

[TheVs2nice]

Good fight butthis game lacked so much energy...thought we had it in the bag, but Bryz isn't the best in SO's.

[irishman89]

@TheVs2nice but he did look better in the shootout tonight.

[TheVs2nice]

@irishman89

yeah he did, but he's gotta pick his game up still. Flyers paying him tons of money to be a top goaltender which isn't the case =\

[irishman89]

@TheVs2nice but last night seemed like a small step forward and thats all that we can hope for right now small steps forward

[TheVs2nice]

@irishman89

Yeah, lets hope they aren't baby steps, but instead huge steps forward. Bob is the man though :D
