Pens 1OA incoming, it's destined

2 years in a row so McKenna and Schaefer can salute Crosby and Letang before they retire. We all know it will happen.

 

[ellja3]

i told you months ago..

12th OA...

#darkesttimeline

My disappointment is immeasurable and day morning is ruined

 

[TheKingPin]

We did get lucky getting a 1st OA type of talent like Michkov. But on the flip side, praying we get a top 3 pick. I think they might add picks together in a package to move up quite possibly. Wishful thinking anyways.

I think so too. How annoying will that be? Trading assets to move to a pick you could have had on your own. I don’t think anyone is trading for us to love up though unless it’s buffalo for TK kind of deal.

It’s time to play Kolosov and phantom level players to”evaluate them”. The D and goalie have to be bad since it looks like the offense is too strong to tank at this moment.

 

[flyersnorth]

Going from picking fourth or fifth to ninth or then the is such a Flyer thing

First spin this morning.

Then you will hear Briere say they tried really hard to move up.

Brian Boucher has become a pathetic Flyers homer. He is intolerable at this point.

What's the deal with Risto? they ever say?

 

[Danko]

What's the deal with Risto? they ever say?

Healthy enough to get you past the trade deadline, when he was beloved by the coach. Then immediately crumbles as it passes.

Week to Week but there's not many weeks left.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Maximum Pain™

 

[TheKingPin]

With this long layoff, have to think Michkov is going to finish the season on fire. We have to try and lose 7-6 haha

 

[Audible Velvet]

2-1 win while getting outshot 29-18? That’s gross. And not surprising.

He's actually worse than Jonesy cause you expected Keith to be a clownish homer. But I thought Boucher was smart, and then he's on there yucking it up about milkshakes and crying about the supposed lack of respect for Michkov. When Torts is coach they say he's doing all the right things to develop Michkov, and the second he's gone it's time to whine that Michkov didn't get enough ice time to pump up his stats. Two faced cowards.

It’s a shame as when you watch the National games, I think he is really good. Offers good insight. Easy to listen too. I liked Jonesy to be honest.

Last night Bocucher mentioned the Flyers are very patient with Drysdale or something to that effect. Well, they have no choice because they have no one even close to beating down the door for a D spot. Also talked down Hutsons secondary assist then pumps up th eons MM had last night.

Yeah, both guys are putting on a front. They're a propaganda outfit.

It would be one thing if it made the games more enjoyable, but it doesn't. I love when I'm visiting the family and I make them put on Flyers games (The fact I have to request it alone is insane, I have a sports nuts family that used to live and die Flyers and their love has been killed). Someone usually snaps and asks why they're lovingly polishing the scrotes of no-name JAGs.

The Flyers are a cult. There is no way of working for them and not becoming a cowardly homer.

This happens to and is on every team across the NHL, no one is impartial...they are paid directly or indirectly by the franchises to be homers.

Politely disagree.

If the Flyers, or more importantly the Flyer family would have had the decade they did. If they gleefully employed Torts for years, etc etc

They would be torched alive by some markets, and the media in them.

Any coverage the Flyers get, any of it - is like watching a primetime news channel. All just bullshit. Russ Joy is ironically the only one currently that I could say comes close to holding them to task.

Not a peep about that incestous Flyer family since ASF dared to approach the topic near the end of the Fletcher era.

The Flyers are allowed to operate this way because there is no critical oversight, or critical voices.

I've never seen another broadcast that so thoroughly buries and slams almost all their skilled players so they can gush about their Seelers and Hathaways. And we have had a couple hot mic moments over the years that reveal they know it's bullshit. They are pushing what the team values. It's a tragic window into how the team thinks, and what they hold as most important

Those two have (at least to me) had more love thrown their way, along with say Risto.

Than Giroux did.

It's insane how many casual fans I've talked to who had no idea who Couturier really was, how good he was. Like Giroux, they just completely downplayed him.

To be honest living in Edmonton the Oilers organization is identical to what the Flyers are doing or have done on all points you listed above...

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It doesn’t happen to the same degree with any other major pro sports franchise in Philadelphia. Merrill Reese has been broadcasting Eagles games since the 70s and doesn’t pull this crap. It doesn’t even happen as much on the Flyers’ radio broadcast.

At this point, Jim Jackson might as well be Jack Edwards. It’s the same shit.

Jack actually hyped up Bruins skill guys as well, though. So they're worse than Edwards.

Not every team's broadcast company is owned by the organization that also owns the team. That's a major difference. They rarely, if ever, critique the team or the path that it's on.

Compare the PGL's between the Flyers and that of the Phillies and Eagles and you can see the difference much more bluntly.

I can’t watch the Flyers broadcast anymore. It’s embarrassing how bad they are.
