[JABEE]

I'm ... fine with this as long as there is a clear understanding by every single coach, player, and general manager that it is routine to HS a rookie to give him a breather and clear his head and NOT punitive or message-sending.

Given the usual communication methods of this FO, however, who even knows what is going through their heads?

He already said Michkov is getting benched because he's been bad on 5-on-5. This is the same guy who has feuds with players around the league and the team is being sued by one of his personal enemies. We just have a dumbass for a coach.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Auto-loss.

We can rest assured Tortorella has given zero guidance or coaching to Michkov. This team is anti-development. Their whole strategy is to blindly punish the skill out of players until they're so watered down they're useless.

 

[WIP CALLER]

I’m so glad to be going to a concert tonight.

f*** off Torts

I'd rather go see Milli Vanilli in concert than watch this team without Michkov.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Please leave for the KHL, I called that this would happen in 15 games, but this is f***ing infuriating.

Danny Briere is a disgusting piece of shit, the kid is the f***ING cash cow and 1 of 5 that is fun to watch.

We are choosing some AHL plug and Deelow over the rookie of the month.

What the f*** is this kid supposed to learn watching garbage players playing a garbage system.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Ass clown. Not watching.

 

[BernieParent]

Thanks, JABEE. I must have missed where Tortorella said this explicitly. Was this during his monosyllabic press conference after Tuesday's loss?

 

[Fire Tortorella]

I could even buy limiting his 5v5 minutes and putting him on the PP if you want to limit his ice time but no one develops in the press box.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Every media is giving this piece of scum all the attention he craves, this is sickening.

 

[Adam Warlock]

At the end of the day, youre in the entertainment business. The marjority of us are only tuning in at this point to watch this kid. To not play him is a giant middle finger to the fans.

We pay to watch the best athletes in the world do things we never could. Anyone can dump a puck or stand infront of one and let it hit us...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Auto-loss.

We can rest assured Tortorella has given zero guidance or coaching to Michkov. This team is anti-development. Their whole strategy is to blindly punish the skill out of players until they're so watered down they're useless.

Auto-loss?

I'd say it's an auto-win. That's how these things work, Bif.

[Flyer lurker]

Holy shit... f***ing seriously? 2nd for points on the team with a team that can barely get shots and can barely score. f***ing lord Torts hates all things offense.

I remember the days when I would drive 2 hours to watch the phi/tbl game.

Even paid $100 to watch the Pronger holding the puck for the whole first period game.

No shot in hades i will go down there to watch 44 over Michkov.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lulz.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

My dude has gone on record to say that he doesn't watch games up there because the view is shit but hey, players can learn so much. How about you play him and put your money where your mouth is when you say you won't punish him for making mistakes and let him watch tape?

He can do both!

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Thanks, JABEE. I must have missed where Tortorella said this explicitly. Was this during his monosyllabic press conference after Tuesday's loss?

i believe it was before the season started..

he said MM would recieve benching cuz this wasnt gunna be the MM show. .

 

[bennysflyers16]

How much of this is that he gets to play vs Kucherov and this is Torts yet again being a bitch.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Lulz.

I’m sorry, but this is absolutely hilarious. All paths converge toward a hard work fetish.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Could scratch 3/4 of the team if 5v5 play is the standard.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Taking Tampa to score over 3.5 goals.

I took the spread. TB winning by 1.5 seems like it could be easy money

 

[ponder719]

No, as ever, if it's not the Torts show, he's going to make it the Torts show.

He can do both!

He hasn't even told Michkov what he should be working on

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

He hasn't even told Michkov what he should be working on

Well sadly there's no people in the Philadelphia area that don't have ties to the Russian Mob that they could hire to translate.

Truly tragic and this could only happen to the Flyers organization. Just poor luck.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Luckily it's a New Era of Orange.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

I will be taking the goal line as well. -1.5 +122 it was a little bit ago.

 

[ViD]

I regret to inform you I will not be watching this Flyers game tonight
