Maybe Ilya Bryzgalov says he’s not going to start at the Winter Classic, but coach Peter Laviolette says he hasn’t made a decision.

Laviolette quickly followed up Bryzgalov’s brash announcement this morning saying he had yet to speak to the goalies, but he would soon and announce a starter later today.

CSNPhilly.com’s Tim Panaccio suspects that Flyers goalie coach Jeff Reese let the goalies know what was up and Bryzgalov ran with the new information. For what it’s worth, Sergei Bobrovsky didn’t say anything about whether he was starting or not.

If we’re going to be giving out insider information the chances we’ll trust Bryzgalov with that information are pretty slim.
