Let's just let's just get into this
0:01
ripping ESPN thing. ESPN even before the
0:04
broadcast on Monday night. So, what I
0:07
what I am bothered by, this is not me
0:09
making excuses or anything. The whatever
0:11
happens happens, but the Flyers didn't
0:13
know they were playing Saturday night
0:14
until basically midnight on Friday.
0:17
Basically, once there was going to be no
0:19
game seven on Saturday for ESPN to put
0:21
in that 700 p.m. 8:00 p.m. time slot.
0:24
The Wild beat the Stars, Ducks beat the
0:26
Oilers. There were no games scheduled
0:28
for Saturday. They're like, "Oh, well,
0:30
let's just start this Flyers hurricane
0:31
series early. Let's only give the Flyers
0:34
what, two days off, three Yeah. two days
0:37
off between games here." Which has not
0:38
happened in recent years. There was a a
0:41
user on the Flyers subreddit that did
0:43
the research all the way back a bit. Um
0:46
I hope I can find that to um give him
0:49
credit there, but like that doesn't
0:51
happen. And I talked with Jacob the day
0:53
after the game. I was like, "All right,
0:55
hopefully game one's Sunday or Monday.
0:57
Give the Flyers some rest. Maybe get
0:58
Owen Tippet in there. And if if Monday's
1:00
game, the overtime loss was game one.
1:03
Maybe the Flyers with those two two
1:05
extra rest, maybe they do hold on to the
1:07
two nothing.
1:07
>> Yeah, maybe they do add on to it. Maybe
1:09
they do watch more tape and are able to
1:12
get a power play goal or two. But no,
1:14
Saturday just a complete slog. All three
1:17
Hurricanes goals directly after horrible
1:20
mistakes by the Flyers. You had the
1:22
Michkov turnover. You had the Drillson
1:24
turnover. And you had I I don't the
1:27
Jackson Blake goal. Var should have had
1:29
it. Mitchov should have slowed him down.
1:31
Sanheim should have slowed him down. But
1:33
like outside of that, it was it was a
1:35
fine game. It was like, yeah, it was
1:37
boring to watch, but like it could have
1:39
went four, five, six nothing, but Lar um
1:43
played the whole game there. I thought
1:44
maybe they'd pull him for get Arison in
1:46
there in the third period, but and then
1:50
the the ESPN broadcast is just awful.
1:52
Talking about the Hurricanes just all
1:54
all all broadcast long. Mike Monaco,
1:57
Ray, Ray Fau is probably one of their
1:58
better better duos that they have, but I
2:01
don't know where the camera set up in
2:02
Carolina where you're getting digital
2:04
ads on the back of fans heads like
2:07
there's technical glitches throughout
2:08
the broadcast. It's just
2:11
they can't No, they couldn't track the
2:12
cameras are awful. It's just it it's
2:14
it's a [ __ ] show. It's a [ __ ] show.
2:16
>> It it was God, I miss JJ and the NBC
2:21
folks so bad. I didn't realize it would
2:23
only take me like less than two games to
2:25
get to that point.
