The Flyers community rallied around one fan-favorite reporter after it was announced NBC Sports Philadelphia had laid him off after several years on the job.

Chris Therien, the pregame and postgame analyst for Flyers games, has been laid off by NBC Sports Philadelphia according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Known as his nickname “Bundy” by Flyers fans and players, he had been with the team serving as the rinkside reporter in addition to his duties as a pre and post-game analyst for the past fourteen years.
