Line 54: On October 27, 2011, following a 9–8 loss to the [[Winnipeg Jets]], Bryzgalov commented on his own play: "I have zero confidence in myself right now," he said. He also likened himself to somebody "lost in the woods" and that "If you probably throw a ball instead of the puck, I'm not gonna stop it."<ref name="lost in the woods">{{cite web\|url=http://www.csnphilly.com/blog/flyers-talk/post/Bryzgalov-Im-terrible?blockID=584088&feedID=695\|title=Bryzgalov: 'I'm terrible'\|author=Tim Panaccio\|publisher=[[Comcast SportsNet]]\|date=October 27, 2011\|accessdate=December 15, 2011}}</ref> However, Bryzgalov would quickly rebound by winning six of his next eight games. He would become well known for his comments regarding the [[~~universe~~Universe]] during the filming of [[HBO]]'s ''[[24/7 (TV series)\|24/7]]'' series – "Solar system is so humongous big, right? But if you see, the like, our solar system and our galaxy on the like on the side, you know, like, and we’re so small — you can never see it — our galaxy is like huge, but if you see the big picture, our galaxy (is like a) small tiny like dot in ~~universe~~Universe. Like, and I think like, ‘And we have some problems here on the Earth we worry about?’ Compared to like ... nothing. Just ... be happy. Don’t worry, be happy right now."<ref>[http://philly.barstoolsports.com/around-barstool/hbo-247-ilya-bryzgalov-the-universe-and-happiness/]</ref> His comments have resulted in some good fun, including how when requesting information about the ~~universe~~Universe, [[Siri]] instead returns information about Bryzgalov, referring to him as "Mr Universe".<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/Flyers-goal-Ilya-Bryzgalov-dubbed-Mr-Universe-by-Apples-Siri.html\|title=Flyer's goalie Ilya Bryzgalov dubbed 'Mr. Universe' by Apple's Siri\|publisher=philly.com\|author=Jerry Gaul\|date=February 25, 2013\|accessdate=February 26, 2013}}</ref> Bryzgalov made news when he said he believed that Sergei Bobrovsky would be the starter for the [[2012 NHL Winter Classic]]: "I have great news and even better news. Okay, great news is I'm not playing, and better news is we have a chance to win the game.... (I'll) make sure I don't forget my thermos with some nice tea and enjoy the bench," he said. Bobrovsky then started the Winter Classic on January 2, 2012, a 3–2 Flyers loss to the [[New York Rangers]] at [[Citizens Bank Park]].
