Whose at fault for Cutter and Nolan?
Not to defend a mega conglomerate, but what has Comcast done? The Flyers aren’t cheap. Stupid with money yes, but not cheap. It doesn’t look like they meddle much either, unless I’m misremembering. The choices for management and coaching are Flyers alum, much to the chagrin of people. Would we rather a pack of MBAs be overly involved? Despite what has happened in the past 10 years, I don’t want that.
They’re so stupid. Why are they trying to run a business and be profitable when all the fans just want them to lose money for a chance at a Stanley Cup? I too dont like to consider all perspectives when I look at a problem. Only mine becuase thats most important.
I blame this jerk off

Can we just wait and see how the briere tenure goes?
I do honestly wonder if we had a real owner how the team would be different. Ed snider was very passionate about his team and we haven’t had that spark in a long time.
I’m not sure what a Lurie or Montgomery type could do for the flyers but I do think it has to be preferable to being owned by Comcast. Feels like a pipe dream tho.
Comcast doesn’t draft the players. Comcast doesn’t coach the players. The team sucked when Snider had control. I am ALL for bashing corporations but Comcast consistently provides the payroll. You can argue that Hilferty, Brierre, and Rosino aren’t doing a great job, but compared to other owners I’m not sure how they’re holding us back. They even have tried to reduce corporate influence by bringing in Jones as President. Hiring ex Flyers for everything is the Flyer way and that’s the thing I wish they would change. I’m sick and tired of ex Flyers failing the team.
Always have been. Corporate hockey sucks.
This is the answer. The Flyers are a product for Comcast, and Comcast’s aim is to make the most money the can for shareholders (Vanguard & BlackRock to name a few.) I’ve resigned myself to the fact that as long as this team is owned by a business, they will continue to waste away on mediocrity.
I’m sorry what? All Comcast does is allow the team to spend to the cap whenever they want
If Comcast ownership was so bad as people make it out to be, then they wouldnt have hired AV, Torts and Tocchet. They are all expensive hires, some of the most expensive coaches in the league at the time their contracts were inked. And they were still paying AV when they hired Torts, and still paying Torts when they hired Tocchet. They literally do what Ed Snider did, give a blank check to do whatever the hell the front office decides to do. Unfortunately, there is a Cap now and that makes it more difficult. If Comcast does sell, the team will be bought by some other conglomerate or narcissistic billionaire like Josh Harris.
Dave Scott sure was not a great owner when he was incharge of Comcast spectacor but other than that the hockey people just make bad decisions.
Maybe Comcast puts some pressure on on The Spectacor ceo but they’re not telling Hextall who to draft and who to sign.
Yes, that terrible no good ownership that allows the team to spend as much money as it needs.
The real enemy is the NHL draft lottery. When we tanked we couldn’t even get the #1 pick. That pick ended scoring the winning goal in the Cup Finals against us. Then when we didn’t completely tank yet, we get #2 and he turned into a bust, mostly for health reasons I won’t bash the kid for that. Then we tank again and get pushed back to 6 while the Islanders jump up to #1. Fuck the lottery.
I haven’t forgotten. I cancelled cable TV and internet. Switched tot a local ISP that only does fiber, it’s cheaper and faster. I also switched to Hulu Live which again was cheaper. Win-win.
Nah – I pay them to provide internet, which they do well. They also helped kill the curse of Billy Penn. They might piss me off sometimes, but they are a Philly company through and through.
