Upgrade over Jones. He's good at everything except draft analysis.

as long as he can pronounce Celebrini we good

 

[Cody Webster]

It aint Colby!

Comes down to how much pressure he'll be under to be a "homer."

Though I think the new regime may value credibility, overselling a bad team doesn't really help ticket sales in the long run, but getting fans to appreciate the nuances of the game may strengthen their appreciation and love of the game.

I think they should have hired Charles Barkley, though he's probably too expensive. Big hockey fan and you know he wouldn't pull any punches.

Are they going to install his infamous slurpee machine in the broadcast booth?

Are you serious lol


He's going to get ordered to be a massive homer and push specific narratives. Get ready for size worship.

 

[Danko]

Best Player Available if the options are Colby and Hartnell

I actually really like Boucher commentating. He provides some nice insight

People plan to watch the games?

 

[trostol]

[DancingPanther]

I won't be hearing or seeing him so this doesn't effect me

Real fans do, this is the Philadelphia Flyers, not the [insert name of city, Dallas for example] "Frontrunners."
Suffering is part of true fandom, it builds character, and makes winning more enjoyable.

There will never be winning until they change everything about how they do stuff.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The people of Philadelphia are massive front runners.

Also, why is a fan suffering through incompetence when they know it’s incompetence a badge of honor?

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's actually good that they're bad, you see

Not watching the Flyers this season but Boosh isn't a bad hire. Now I feel dirty for saying something nice about the Flyers.

Everyone in every town are front runners. Suffering is suffering no matter how you dress it up.

"Real" fans support a trash team's trash decisions.

 

[Rebels57]

This is gonna be another season where it doesn't really make sense to watch many of the games. I want them to be bad as possible for the draft, but that kind of makes watching games a Lose-Lose. If they play well, I won't be happy because it hurts draft positioning. If they play poorly, it's good, but not necessarily fun to watch.

I'll just check the scores and pop into GDT for a chuckle from time to time. I do look forward to one day watching and cheering for success again. It might not be until Michkov comes over though, unless they land a top 3 pick and get Demidov or Celebrini in the lineup sooner than that.
