Flyers Announce Starting Goaltender on Instagram, Beat Writers Get Bent Out of Shape

I like this. Effective use of social media.

Of course… beat writers don’t exactly appreciate being cut out of the loop to relay such an important message to the masses, a sentiment sarcastically and ironically expressed via Twitter(!!!) by Dave Isaac and the slightly chubby Rob Parent:

Isaac and Parent join Les Bowen in their disdain of direct communication.

And yes, Dave, the team’s Instagram is a legitimate way to announce a not really that important in the grand scheme of things thing.
