Locked On Flyers - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Flyers

These two seem to have above average knowledge of the game and provide some fair context to think about day to day Flyers situations. I wish you could get over the cynicism with the coach, acting like he’s a time bomb when he just delivered one of the best interviews in a long time by a coach. as another podcast pointed out today, Torts averages over 6 years tenure on a team versus an average of 3 for an NHL coach. And please, number of times she floats a criticism and says “I don’t know, I don’t know” is grating.

Rachel is doing well overall. Russ is informative, but his communication tends to come across as consistently negative, and there is a noticeable lack of energy in the podcast.

I’ve tried to listen, but this is easily the worst flyer podcast. Cohen is way too monotone, and mostly negative. Rachel can’t seem to understand hockey, obsessed lately with Delo playing, not understanding why he in the lineup, well he’s gonna play when the other team is heavy, or have a bonafide tough guy(xhekaj, foligno, etc). In general every locked in podcast are terrible.

Russ Cohen obviously hates the Flyers and can’t hide his disdain. Rachel is much more objective and balanced. Cohen’s negative bias is evident by his off the wall assumption about Kolosov playing time in preseason being forced on Tocchet by Briere near the end of today’s podcast. I find most of his takes inane and negatively skewed. Not looking for a homer but this guy is an obvious NY sports fan (probably Islanders) and has no business being on a Flyers podcast.
