Scott Hartnell Comes After Our Guy Chris Therien For Being too Tough on Flyers
You don’t just fire shots at one of Crossing Broad’s own and get away with it. I’m Wayne Simmonds in this bitch.
As people know Bundy is a third of the Snow the Goalie podcast with Ant SanFilippo and Russ Joy. He’s not afraid to go after the Flyers organization over the last couple of years for being what they truly are. The funny thing is this tweet was probably the most tepid shot he’s fired across the bow:
Well isn't this interesting #Flyers peops. But hey we still got the 30th pick in the first round! Life is always about finding that silver lining gang! Have a great weekend everyone! https://t.co/ha5lgyt26U

Well, Scott Hartnell, whose checks are signed by Comcast, must have gotten a call from Comcast Spectacor CEO Dave Scott to fire back in exchange for a front office position in 2023. It’s the only logical explanation. What’s another former Flyer in the building, right?
@ctherien6 I just love your positivity with the @NHLFlyers organization!! A team that you played pretty much your whole career for! Man it would of been fun to be your teammate! Sick of it! Glass half empty for you!!! #uncle https://t.co/dEECNz1gjf

Bundy being as beauty as ever took the high road with that typical Ottawan class:
Honest-to-God Hartsy this has been painful to watch happen. And it’s heart breaking. Sad actually. No way to spin it. I did that for years.

Too bad I was born south of the border…
I’ll give one point to Hartnell. He knows better than anyone what a bad teammate looks like. If Kyle Scott was running Crossing Broad into the ground from the Jersey shore instead of a golf course in Florida like Scott, and he asked me to defend the good name of CB to someone on Twitter, I’d tell him to kick rocks. (No I wouldn’t. I would just lie and say my phone is broken so I didn’t see his text. Then again. if Kyle guaranteed me a blogging chair next to Taryn Hatcher for 80 plus days out of the year maybe I would. The best part is Kyle doesn’t even have my number saved in his phone anyway and I’ve been here for six months. Every time I call him he hits me with a cautious “Hello?” thinking I’m going to ask him about his car’s extended warranty or something.)
Alright, back to Hartnell. Imagine deciding out of all weeks to carry the water for the Flyers you pick one of the worst weeks in franchise history. Have a backbone. You’re sticking your neck out for an organization and company that doesn’t give a fuck about you. Even the staunchest Flyers supporter can’t look at last week’s moves and support the organization. There’s a GoFundMe halfway to its goal to create a billboard outside the arena for the Flyers to sell the team.
The irony of this whole situation is Hartsy is going after the guy he replaced at the desk, who NBCS Philly laid off at the height of COVID. Reach out to D-Gunn, Katie Emmer, the Breakfast on Broad cast, that 700Level guy, and long time employees behind the scenes. You’re a warm body until they decide they want a new toy, and I promise you this tweet ain’t gonna make it on the sizzle reel your agent creates.
Wait?!? What’s this? Scott Hartnell calling the team soft last year? Interesting.
