i believe it was before the season started..

he said MM would recieve benching cuz this wasnt gunna be the MM show. .
Thanks, FF4L; however, this wasn't what JABEE wrote and to what I replied. The original post was the Tortorella was benching Michkov for being bad on 5-on-5.

EDIT: If this tweet from SanFilippo is him quoting Tortorella, then I have my answer. But it isn't crystal clear he isn't giving his own opinion on Michkov.

This is where I got the 5-on-5 part from. So maybe this was ASF. I am not sure where the quote ends.

He only said "it's part of the process" several times when asked about it and then said once that "young players can watch the game too." That's about it so Tortorella didn't actually say it was 5 on 5.

Funny enough though this jackass has the balls to say that "as I told him in camp, I want him to take a chance offensively and I don't want him to worry about making mistakes" about Richard.

My brain hurts. Rolls over everything.

Lol michkov needs to learn to play by sitting in the press box, this team and torts is really a nightmare we will never wake up from

Dead last team and they decide to scratch their promising rookie for a nobody. I think the Flyers get shutout tonight.
I hope they drop 10 on us and they fire torts

Richard jumping straight onto PP1 honestly might be more entertaining than Michkov getting scratched from a shitposting standpoint.

The processes are bewildering. We love ourselves some rolls.

I actually liked Richard as a free pickup and was hoping he would get a shot over some plugs. Every time this happens, it turns out like this though.

The team is in last place. It's been playing like a bunch of zombies on the ice for over a season. The HC obviously has no clue as to how to improve the club's play. So he sees the solution being benching the future cornerstone of the organization.
Tortorella needs to be immediately canned. This was so predictable. He's pulled this type of shit with every player that comes on the club. It's obvious that it is a psychological power play on Tortorella's part.
Everywhere he goes, it always has to be about him. Well the record for this club is what it has been for the last thirty games or so. It's terrible and he has no answers. The stink is one him.
Briere has to recognize that Tortorella is poison. If he doesn't, then he need to go as well. The organization has become an embarrassment to itself.
