Between the absolute garbage that is being spewed at MM thread @ Prospects section, and deadhead reaching at the most microscopic straws here one did not even know existed... What a ride

Michkov had second most shifts with 24, yet only around 14 minutes on the ice, what is he doing there, taking 10 second shifts?

Yes, extremely short shifts. In and out, sometimes as short as 10 seconds. Very strange, but maybe by design? I wonder if maybe Torts gave Michkov this specific instruction to keep shifts short, because they might be working on improving his stamina. I think Michkov is not in optimal shape at the moment.

I took a peak and it seemed like a bunch of Montreal fans coping.

Yeah, sometimes it's tough to distinguish coping fans, misinformed posters and trolls (and then there's, of course, overlaps)

Mediocre since 2011 with no change in sight

That was just a weird game. First two periods was the worst I've seen them play in years, then they wake up and take over despite a couple bad penalties. Did someone dope the water?

Michkov was awful, two bad penalties, did nothing all game except win it in overtime. Go figure.
Cates looked faster than Frost, WTF? Hmm, check edge, Cates top speed 22.43, Frost 21.76.
Ok, this is definitely weird.

Flyers have to skate to win, first two periods they were beat to every loose puck, 3rd period the reserve.

Richard must have looked at his paycheck and said I got to figure out how to stay up here, I like that extra zero.

Something is definitely up with Frost. His skating looks very labored and hunched over. His arms appear to be doing more work than his legs. He also seems to be having a crisis in confidence, i.e. he is afraid to make a mistake, which is a death knell for his type of player....Mission accomplished Totortella

How about the conclusion that.... Frost is 25 years old now, and he isn't good.

He's inconsistent. Unreliable. Not a top-2 center.

Strongly agree with you. Well. Without having watched anyway. He’s not a guy that’s got a solid future with the Flyers.

Not to divert the topic, but they really do need to address the scouting, and development aspects on the team.

In 10 years we’ve got what, TK, Sanheim, and York as “success” stories? That’s brutal man.

Farabee, and Frost are on borrowed time, and have regressed if not stagnated. Tippet, and Tyson might be something but even if so - it’s a mighty short list.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I don’t think Frost has looked good but how many guys do look good 5v5 this year? When there is so much regression team wide, well…

 

[Michanko]

Any meat-and-potatoes potential mid-6 forwards projected to go late in the first they can reach on there?

might have a chance at desnoyers there whom i really like
