I know. We have posters here who continuously point out Bryzgalov's struggles, yet accuse others of being Spin Doctors when he's given any kind of defense...and then shred people who criticize Laviolette in saying that they're laying all blame on the coach.

I just find it funny when people project their own tendencies onto others.

Bryzgalov gets the same old treatment from the Canadian media that Cechmanek used to get, or Esche, or Biron, Or Leighton, or Hextall.

Blaming the Flyers goalie is easy and it's like an old, comfy shoe. Bryzgalov's play has been an area of concern, but it's down the list. He has not played well for the commitment the team has made. But there's a lot of that going on.

I think misuse of assets and poor play by veteran skaters are the two biggest issues this season. I feel Laviolette waited too long to make meaningful adjustments and that compounded the poor play by vets like Coburn, Hartnell and Briere to name 3.

Yes, damn those Canadian media types.

US-based media would never, ever be irresponsible like that.

This is why I hate when little anecdotes from the locker room is made public. It tends ot cause overreation. There's a lot of personalities in a locker room. To expect everyone to be buddy-buddy is unrealistic.

and for some reason, the apparent lack of a relationship (based on very little observation) is somehow entirely bryz's doing/responsibility, and somehow this apparent lack of a relationship equates to him being an bumhole. it's an enormous and somewhat ridiculous leap.

it's because they're each protypical Russians - not everyone can be buddy buddy like Schneider/Luo.

I thought it was going to be more honestly after the 10 gamer he had.

It was nice to see the team bonding at Xfinity yesterday at the Phillies game.

*This is not a negative statement. Glad to see the boys being a close group.

I'm surprised it wasn't either. Of course, if things stay the same, Laughton will only have two games left.

Nope, I found it funny. Goofy, off the wall and horribly acted, but fun.

Guess it's because Madeline Kahn, Michael McKean and Christopher Lloyd are in it. I like those three.

We Americans know all about our "American propaganda," especially at Olympics time.
