Everyone says its a hockey town, well not only is it that but its  also a football, baseball and even basketball town even though our  76ers team has been spotty at times.  Regardless if were in first or  last place we will always bleed our teams colors.  Very passionate and  very vocal fans.  While we always have such HIGH expectations and  demands when a player doesnt play to that standard we always flip the  script on him, ready to ride him out of town.  Very few people support  or stick up for that player.  There is always a scapegoat in Philly  sports no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>Lets be honest Bryz came to a high profile team and was shoved under the  limelight.  Some players react differently and to say that he has  underperformed our expectations is a huge understatement.  Regardless of  our cup dreams and outcomes here you CANNOT move Bryz.  That would just  be silly and foolish you need to give me at the very least another  year.  A FULL year with an honest healthy defense in front of the man  should show his true colors.   If he hangs himself then so be it.  But  now that hes settled in to the city, to the fans get him a defense in  front of him.<\/p>\n<p>Its really a broken record this year but Aside from Timmo \/ Mez \/ Coburn  (who has been great might I add) our defense has been sub par at best.   AT BEST.  Carle, Lilja, Kubina, even Gus at times have just been  frustrating to watch.<\/p>\n<p>We need Lavy to rally the troops and head into it as if every game is an  elimination game here out.  Regardless of any situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off Flyers need to #1 play heir game, not he game not the game that NJ wants them to play.\u00a0 I think I have gotten used&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nhl","category-philadelphia_flyers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2214"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2215,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2214\/revisions\/2215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeboyznetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
