[Reiner] The Flyers’ season opener against the Devils on Oct. 13 will be an ESPN+/Hulu exclusive. Three additional Flyers games (11/15 @ CBJ, 11/29 vs. NYI, 3/18 vs. CAR) will be exclusive to those platforms.

1. How the fuck do you make a season opener an exclusive? So fucking dumb.

2. I have Hulu but I think I’ll pass on this game.

3. Even Comcast doesn’t want to play them on their own network

4. Best case scenario for my mental health is that some obscure streaming service gets exclusive rights so I’m forced not to watch this shit lmao

5. [A live look at Flyers Management Meeting]

   Dave Scott: alright team, we’re coming off a disappointing season in terms of attendance and viewership. How do we bolster these numbers for the 22/23 season?

   Executive: let’s make something already difficult to watch even more difficult by having to pay exclusively for a service that you’ll only feel guilt & regret for in the end!

   *unanimous derping ensues*

6. I already pay an assload for TV just to watch flyers/phillies and they’re like “yeah we’re going to need another $7/mo.” fuck all of that. i’m out.

7. i’m just numb to any sort of news regarding the flyers at this point. they’re hopeless

8. Seriously wtf man.

9. (Clears throat) BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It would be one thing if it were on espn or tnt but a stream exclusive?

10. So four games I don’t have to watch and can just listen to on the radio.

    Suck it, Comcast

11. Aye maties! I’ll be out sailing the high seas on Oct. 13th, unless the Phillies are playing a playoff game, then I won’t even be watching this.

12. Cause fuck em! That’s why!

13. Whatever, wasn’t gonna watch anyway.

14. Ugh. Another season that lasts 10 years.

15. Why does this team hate us

16. This is actually funny

17. I’m reminded of an old Mitch Hedberg joke about then-new XM radio: “I did an interview on XM radio. They said: ‘You can swear on XM radio.’ No shit; ’cause nobody can hear it. You can swear in the woods too.”

    They can make these games as exclusive as they want. I have no intention of watching the Flyers this year.

18. Lol imagine the ratings for that.

19. Damn Comcast, how do you not feature the team you own on your own fucking network for the season opener?

20. They can keep them.

21. People still use comcast? After all they’ve done to ruin the franchise?

22. I have a satellite and NBC sportsnet is not available. I can finally watch them

23. Good, I love ESPN+

    I watch every game on there

24. Gonna cancel my Hulu so I don’t accidentally watch this.
