[Embiid]

Colby is definitely taking Keith's spot in the booth....f***

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

“You’re not firing me, I quit!” energy.

“You’re not firing me, I quit!” energy.

He wants to work for an upstanding organization like the Hawks.

 

[Curufinwe]

Eh, why should Pang care about that in terms of his broadcasting career. Those people got fired or moved on anyway.

 

[tucson83]

Either Jones’ spot on TV or Coates’ spot on radio.

i'll be shocked if it's not booch taking jones spot, he was on there alot and i like him as well.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

It's a reporter's job to speculate. Sweet

 

[VladDrag]

Boucher is a good color guy. He provides actual insight, without it coming across as condescending. I have no problems with him taking the TV spot.

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

I truly hope it's Boucher getting the spot too. He actually adds insightful commentary and has earned the job.

 

[GKJ]

Boosh is the #2 guy at ESPN and at the end of NBC, was on their top team as a third man. I’d be surprised if he were to take a step down to doing full time regional broadcasts.

Wouldn't mind him as President, either.

Or even PoHo of the Flyers.

Couldn't he do both like Jones did?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I truly believe that Jones isn't going anywhere in the booth. He may not do every game but he'll likely do the same amount that he's always done. The Flyers will market this as some type of ahead of the curve set up.

Jones was hired to sell propaganda and that's exactly what he's going to do on the broadcasts.

Get yourself a man that can do both.

 

[Curufinwe]

I can't see that happening. If another player hurts a Flyer with a borderline hit, the league is not going to stand for the President of a team giving his opinions in real time on that.

 

[GKJ]

Couldn't he do both like Jones did?

TNT has been more amenable to that because all of their on-air talent except for the studio do local broadcasts. At ESPN, that’s not what they do aside from very specific exceptions. Although, they’re about to do a bunch of layoffs.

 

[BernieParent]

Agreed. I’m hoping for Boucher on TV.

I don’t mind Cohen as much as many here do, because I appreciate he’s one of the few willing to criticize players.

That said, it’s a style that gets more leeway on radio than TV, & Boucher is better.

Gotta wonder if Therien goes back to radio, though.

I know it is due to being in Montreal but whenever I see Thérien, my first thought is Michel. My first-second response to him being the new colour commentator was ... not favourable.

“You’re not firing me, I quit!” energy.

Pangs of guilt

 

[GKJ]

I think Therien is past doing radio. Believe he said he would work for the team though if asked

Hartnell is a chucklehead shill and nails on chalkboard. I assume it will be him. And also for POHO in 10 years.

He's so bad at it. Thankfully I don't watch that shit anyway, even when i'm not boycotting the games.

There is absolutely zero chance Keith Jones is staying in the booth.

You can’t possibly truly believe that.

The man was hired to be a PR guy. Now what is the best way to peddle your propaganda to the masses?

Hmm...

He's surprisingly bad at it.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Hartnell clearly is one of those guys who is really funny with the boys, but it just doesn't translate on TV

 

[Curufinwe]

Too busy censoring himself to say anything funny or useful on TV.

Cringeworthy ...
