see everyone is talking about the flyers employee not muting himself, but i’m applauding the queen who unmuted her mic to say loud and clear “flyers sucks ” https://t.co/QVDSZyBpTt

“How many times is she going to ask that f*cking question”: a Flyers employee escapes live on air
Manuel Sperandio-LemayDaniel Brière signed forward Garnet Hathaway, who spent last season with the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins, to a two-season contract on July 1, when the free-agent market opened.
Today, the team’s new forward answered questions via Zoom. His answers to reporters’ questions aren’t exactly what this session will be remembered for. Indeed, after a legitimate question from a journalist, an employee said loudly, “How many times is she going to ask that f*cking question?” Listen for yourself, it’s hard not to hear it.

In fact, the entire media session was problematic. A few seconds after the employee’s interruption, a lady said that the Flyers are in the bag.
Welcome to Philly, Garnet…
For a guy who signed for two seasons, I hope he doesn’t regret his choice too much… At the same time, a $2.375 million pact is a good contract for a player like him. And it’s not as if a Q&A session dictated his entire stay in the City of Brotherly Love…
But let’s just say that his first public appearance as a member of the orange team didn’t go as planned.
One thing’s for sure, I don’t know if the forward heard the interventions live, but if so, he did a good job of ignoring them and answering the reporter’s question, who was just trying to do her job after all.
