However, it seems that while releasing a statement was fine, perhaps Bryzgalov should have advised his agent to not make statements of his own.
On Wednesday, Ritch Winter appeared on Edmonton’s 630 CHED to defend his client from the criticism he’s received for his poor play in net with the Flyers. In fact, Winter went on the offensive, saying “It’s terrible for goaltenders in Philadelphia,” and that “There’s more wrong with Philadelphia’s goaltending than just the goaltending.” Specifically, Winter cited the club’s habit of creating traffic in front of its own net and the team’s goaltending coach’s lack of authority.
Winter also criticized Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren, saying the GM used “deception” and initially told Bryzgalov that he would not be bought out.
