radoran Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 If you include the Original Six, that's New York, Boston and Chicago...I believe the Flyers "lost money" on the books, but I don't believe that Comcast "lost money" owning the Flyers.

idahophilly Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 I find it hard to believe the Flyers lost money unless they are really cooking the books (ie. HRR rears its ugly head again). Another way to look at it, if the Flyers can't make money then the league is in WAY bigger trouble than even twinkle toes (Bettman) is saying...Something smells rotten here....

A TON.It can also be how they assign different expenses and apply them to the books.Again, though, there is NFW Comcast "lost money" by owning the Flyers. N.F.W.
