and of course the way the reporters press and press until he finally says something is never mentioned. I hate to say it but I see why players end up hating them.

Dont hate to say it, embrace it and say it.

Didn't someone in the Philly Media write or say that Zheredev would be useful for playoff shootouts?

It's ridiculous to call Bryz a bust after 3 or 4 months. The problem is a lot people out there don't have a setting between 1 and 10. It's a love/hate relationship anymore when it comes to athletes and sports.

it gets worse and worse tho. for every good caller you get on WIP, its followed by 10 that just makes me question how good Philadelphia fans are......not to be mistaken with passion. Philly fans are certainly passionate. it starts with the reporters. How many people covering the Flyers are worth reading? then you get something like the Bleachers report that is taken as reporting but its just a bunch of unqualified fans writing articles that 90% of the time make zero sense.

That's the trouble. You have one asshat saying the Flyers had no idea that Bryzgalov was a screwball, and others who constantly shred him for his personality instead of play, then get snippy when he doesn't want to talk to them.

I come here to read Bill, because he's the most knowledgeable and even keeled writer following the team. When I do read most of the others, it's because I see someone tweeting it saying, Jesus, he's acting the fool again!

We are truly blessed to essentially have a city of reporters like Bill M. here in Vancouver. What you guys post about the "journalists" in Philly makes me sick.

It turned out his account was hacked by Seravalli. Or he was delirious from eye drops or some poop.

It's like high school journalism. They're mostly ill informed and as bent on creating drama as they are on reporting a story that is actually germane. Also, when you piss them off, they write negative stories about you and hold grudges that last for years.

Did his employer sanction him in anyway for a total brain fart such as that?

Or that Sam just knows less about hockey than I do about the migratory patterns of European swallows.

Nope. He blamed the after effects of eye surgery or some kind of procedure that made him loopy.

was great to see Seravelli call the Carolina game the biggest snoozefest of the year.


i was worried he was starting to take his job for granted.

If you know a swallow can fly, you are ahead by a nose.

Hey I'm interning for them, but most of the people who cover the Flyers on there are pretty good.

My favorite beat writer flub was during the draft. Panaccio tweeted the Flyers drafted Defenseman Sean Couturier, and 15 seconds later, Seravalli tweeted the same thing.

At least he didn't get up to the podium and forget the name of the guy he was drafting.

I'd rather he get a rookie's position wrong than make a gross oversight on an aspect of the game like thinking there is a shootout in the playoffs! But yea it's still funny!
