Highly recommend reading Brian Smith’s article the Jonesy + Danny hirings



It’s not good, but it is pretty funny.

Featuring gems such as

>There are certain dates in Flyers history that have served as benchmarks for new eras. May 11, 2023 is now one of those dates

and

>Criticism is out there that the Flyers have again hired two former players to run their hockey operations. The reality is that such a status is merely semantics.

and

>And that takes us to the recent notion of “wise men” and advisors controlling things and keeping the Flyers like they were in the past. All of that is a myth.

    I read this and just laughed. Do they think people actually read this and go: “omg he’s so right its a new era the Flyers are BACK BABY”

    The author is clearly coping

    That read a whole lot more like a press release than any kind of article or even an op-ed.

    Imagine wanting to grow up to be a legitimate journalist and your job ends up being to write uncritical puff piece PR releases for a mega corporation? Hugely lame. At least be honest with yourself about what you’re doing.
