Back in November, The Players' Tribune asked hockey fans on Reddit to post some questions that they would want Ilya Bryzgalov to answer for their "Mailbag" segment.
Well, after a couple months of waiting, we finally know what questions Bryz was asked, which is another way of saying his Mailbag segment is finally here.
There were a lot of great questions that were asked, but we're going to start with this one:
What has been the best game you’ve ever played? Any memories from specific games?

Bryzgalov played in many big games and even won a Stanley Cup in 2007, but winning Gold for Russia at the 2009 World Hockey Championship was his best game, and we have to agree, even though it was against Canada.
Bryz made 37 saves in a 2-1 win, and Canada's roster featured some incredible scorers like Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, Jason Spezza, and Dany Heatley.
Moving on now, another question on the minds of many fans was about Bryz potentially playing in the NHL again, and he happily shared his thoughts on a potential comeback:
Bryz, are you having more fun coaching your son, or do you wish you were back playing in the NHL? Miss you out here is Anaheim btw.
-David S.
The NHL is much better with Bryz in it, and it's safe to say many fans agree with that.
In the Mailbag, Bryz also answered some non-hockey related questions, and here are the best of those:
Would you ever consider getting into broadcasting, or documentary narration? Your personality and delivery would be perfect for it.

What is your favourite planet?
-u/TheLegendarySheep
Hey Bryz, is a hot dog a sandwich?
-Mark S.
