I don't believe that.
The organization hands down talking points to the broadcast team.
If they want a certain agenda pushed they'll tell the broadcast team.

The broadcast team was slobbering over how great of a lockerroom guy Lecavalier was until the day he was traded away.
The praised Filppula constantly and where is he?
They were constantly talking up Manning, Vandevelde, and other trash that are no longer here.
They're just idiots. It means nothing.

The Flyers being owned by Comcast certainly allows them to more so control the message being put out there that the Eagles, Sixers, & Phillies don’t get on that channel.

I believe that influences them to be bigger turd polishers, but they don’t tell them to not talk about Flyers players they don’t like.

Haha this is my claim to fame. I forget what it was about exactly. Something anout Coots and it was a good point.
They want to appease organization that has been nothing but very generous with them and they also want to keep their jobs. Hartsy and Mase were run out of town yet they didn't shit on them or soften the public on incoming moves.

Like I said, they’re turd polishers but they’re not secret agents dropping hits through radio silence.

I’m talking in general not the Sanheim thing or anything really specific. I just don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re the least criticized of all the teams on that network given they’re owned by the same company. The other teams have idiots employed doing their broadcasts too & they’re way more critical of those organizations whether fair or not.
The Flyers broadcast is basically like watching North Korean television these days.

How you like me now!
I thought this was going to be a discussion about Sanheim who I thought had a strong game. What channel is the north Korean broadcast being televised so I can compare the two. How many here lived through the Gene Hart Don Earle days? Two of the greatest homers of all time and I loved it.

I lived through enough of the Gene Hart era and it wasn't the same brand of homerism. When the team wasn't playing well, Gene sounded heart broken, he didn't pretend it wasn't happening. He didn't talk up guys because the team was talking them up. He was a homer in the best possible way, i.e. he wasn't a propagandist for the team.
And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't really care about how homerish the broadcast team is.

How is this unlike any other home broadcast though? There are much worse examples like Buffalo. Those guys sound like two drunk Sabres fans in a trailer drinking beer only half paying attention. They seriously don't think their team has ever committed a single penalty.
Anyway back to Sanheim. That rush and pass to Lindblom never happens with Folin, Manning, whoever. He made some errors but his speed and skill cannot be replaced and he will likely continue to improve.

when the flyers weren't play well you feel his disappointment. you're right, its completely different. It was like Gene Hart was a friend in the living room watching the game with you.
That style of broadcasting is extinct like many great things.

I think it's both.
It's propaganda coming from the Flyers, but they're dumb enough to believe it.

Defer to the professionals, my ass. That would be enraging if I had any expectations at all.

Hakstol is worse than Berube. I don't say that lightly at all.
So much for the concept of ice time being earned. It's purely arbitrary.

Whenever Striiker called him an idiot, I said no, you have to be a driven professional to get to this level. There’s a plan, even if it’s misguided.
Consider this an apology, @Striiker. The man is a dunderhead.

Glad you've come around!If there's one thing I'm good at, it's recognizing idiots when I see them.
Partially because I'm also an idiot (just to a lesser degree) and it takes one to know one.
My dream is to one day get a job that I'm as under-qualified for as he was for this job, and to have the same level of over-payment and job security he enjoys.

How long have we been saying this? And every time it was met with the objecting shrieks of the Hak Lovers.
Do think they can even attempt to argue it anymore? Can anyone be that biased and ignorant? Let's find out...
What a surprise that the player who clearly gets more confident the longer he’s played at each level of development is starting to show the dominant traits we’ve all seen since the WHL. Imagine if they just let him ride out his rough spots last year instead of taking him in and out of the lineup and sending him down. Just thankful that this kid is too damn talented to have this circus of a development regime screw him up
