BSH Radio 4: Anthony SanFilippo of the Delco Times Talks Emery, Holmgren & More

by Travis Hughes on Feb 10, 2010 2:01 PM EST in Features

On Tuesday evening, Ben, Geoff and I taped this weeks edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio. Our guest was Anthony SanFilippo, Flyers beat writer at the Delaware County Times.

The Recap

On this week's edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio, Geoff and I have a lengthy discussion with SanFilippo about everything you could possibly imagine about the team. We talk about Ray Emery's injury and how it'll affect his contract talks. Does he think it should? We'll talk about a column he wrote over the weekend that seemed to be a veiled criticism of Paul Holmgren. He tells us if it was.

Sticking with the same subject, we ask SanFilippo if Holmgren is really, truly serious about saying that he won't trade Jeff Carter. We also talk about the Olympics and a few media-related things before some fun talk about who the best player in the locker room to get a quote from might be.

It's a 40 minute chat and his answers are unbelievably in depth. It's highly recommended.

After the interview, Ben joins the show from snowy, Internet-less D.C. The three of us talk about the Emery injury, what it means for the future at the goaltender position in Philadelphia, Jeff Carter's hit on Anssi Salmela, the Olympics, and the potential that the NHL Draft and the NHL All-Star Game could come to Philadelphia.

Finally, we close the show with our first listener rant! If you'd like to leave one of your own, the button and directions are after the jump. Get the episode after the jump as well.

I’m quite disappointed to hear SanFilippo’s theory that there’s some bad blood between Boosh and Lavvy. I can understand Boosh being frustrated with his long string of scratches, but I hate to think the guy isn’t getting a fair shake because they aren’t getting along.

That’s something that definitely struck me as well.

But when’s the last time Boosh got a fair shake from the Flyers? I can only think of one time – when they signed him to an AHL contract and then let him out of it when SJ offered to make him their backup.

I know the history, but I feel that he earned a fair shake for this season with his play in December. He didn’t have goal support to get actual wins because the team in front of him was even more disorganized than they currently are, but there’s no denying that he did everything in his power to keep us in those games, even when he wasn’t perfect.

I agree completely.

Oh, I’m with you on the draft thing though; if Pittsburgh, Florida, Carolina, Nashville, Columbus, Hartford, St Louis, and LA have all had a turn, I think we should get a turn too.

Re-naming the season

Since we’re clearly not “Relentless” this year, I propose we change the season’s slogan to “Ray’s Anatomy.” Thoughts?

Maybe you should just count your blessings that she’s throwing things that won’t hurt very much?

It’s my schtick. Just trying to uphold that bad Philly fan stereotype. Snowballs were readily accessible (boy, are they ever).

I have no idea why I was calling Mitch Whateverhisname was Mitch Hedberg. They are definitely not the same person.

good show guys, awesome.

i found the part about “media training” and Mike Richards as the captain quite insightful, and basically a recap/conformation of the conversation we had a week ago.
