He was one of the most quotable hockey players of all time for his peculiar humour and hilarious takes.

But now, former NHL goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov is on the other side of the microphone getting the quotes.

Brzygalov was the official 'TPT correspondent,' and he went around the all-star festivities in Tampa Bay interviewing a bunch of NHL stars and hockey fans on a variety of different topics.

 First up was Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. The Gasparilla Pirate Festival was going on simultaneously over the weekend, and you just knew that Bryz was going to ask somebody something about pirates.

Bryz then went around to where all the media and players gathered together for interviews, and showed off his intrepid reporting skills.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Brent Burns, Kris Letang, James Neal and Carey Price all got hit hard with a ton of pressing questions around non-hockey topics. He even ran into the On the Bench boys Jacob and Olly!


We hope we get to see more of Bryz in the future, because he’s a ton of fun to listen to, and knows exactly the type of tough questions to ask.
