Tonight Philly lost in a shootout, against the Islanders.

This person is blaming it all on Bryzgalov. My problem with this is, the Flyers had 45 shots on Evegeni Nabakov, who is a lot worse than Bryz. I mean, 45 shots? They must have been making some pretty awful ones, right? I didn't watch the game, as I hate all Philly sports, but come on...that's a little much.

Also, Bryz's record on Phoenix, in shootouts, last years was 7 wins and a loss. This year, I believe he's won one. Not only that, but their shooters barely scored. So, it can't all be your goalies fault when your team is sub-par.

Anyone else feel this way? Bryz was awesome with Phoenix, becuase they were a pretty strong team...
