Bryzgalov wants you to credit Devils instead of bashing Flyers

bryzubrusgetty

For anyone aware of Ilya Bryzgalov’s eccentric personality before HBO fixed its cameras on him,* the idea of him playing in a harsh media and fan environment for the Philadelphia Flyers was fascinating. (Or worrisome, if you were a Philly fan “in the know.”)

After all these months, Breezy’s tiger-protecting naivete is still sort of charming. When asked about the New Jersey Devils’ dominant 4-1 win - and the Flyers’ flaccid effort - Bryzgalov told Sam Carchidi how he’d like the story to be framed.

“Bryz says give Devils credit instead of criticizing Flyers.”

My guess is that will happen right around the time that the Philadelphia Eagles erect a Donovan McNabb statue.

* - Yes, he said weird and hilarious things well before 24/7 came along.
