not sure why people are faulting Ryan....
He is in NO way at fault for anything here. He didn't sign up for team USA contention, he didn't go barking that he wasn't picked. Out of almost nowhere, the media released direct quotes from NHL GM's, including the guy that drafted him, that basically attacking him as a player and his passion for winning, a weak vocabulary and his ability to spell....
The fact that burke/poille are annoyed seems to point to the media in the room indicates that they were expecting that being granted access to such meetings comes with a level of discretion.
Either you blame burke for being too blunt knowing media was in the room, or you blame the media for being more careful in what they quote in the article.
Bobby Ryan has done nothing wrong here.
