Published:
As I reported in June, Chris Therien and Steve Coates will basically flip roles this season. From the Flyers’ release:
The Flyers and CSN also announced a change to their broadcast teams. Former Flyers defenseman Chris Therien will move from the radio broadcast to the Comcast SportsNet television broadcast crew and will serve as the inside-the-glass ice-level reporter for Flyers game broadcasts, joining the team of Jim Jackson, Keith Jones and Bill Clement. Steve Coates, a 32-year veteran of Flyers TV and radio broadcasts, will return to the radio booth to handle color commentary alongside play-by-play voice Tim Saunders on the Flyers Radio Network.
I think Bundy’s great, and I’m looking forward to this. Just gotta keep that raw emotion while rinkside.
