In the spirit of the holidays, here are some gifts that should be handed out to those connected to the Flyers:
To Tim Saunders and Steve Coates: More recognition for the never-ending entertainment they provide during radio broadcasts. I listen to lots of broadcasters from around the league, and none can match the deadpan humor these two give listeners. And no one does more research and is more prepared than Saunders.
Saunders and Coates skillfully weave in good-natured barbs at each other during broadcasts, and have become to the Flyers what Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen are to Phillies broadcasts — and that’s not easy with all the losing that has transpired in recent years.
