So what's management gonna do if/when Michkov complains about how he's being treated?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Torts leaned heavily on his pets and we got smoked again, has anyone even seen chicken shit Danny lately ?

Trying to sign goalie #5?

Trade him for some failure like Drysdale and a 2nd.

They’ll say they don’t have a translator so they didn’t know that was the case.

Probably tell some story about how he wouldn’t meet with Nikolai Zherdev and Patrick Sharp.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Well
Considering Torts is the final boss, prob trade him for some more Laughton types.

And that my friend is the 64k question?? When players start openly complaining about direction of team, what does management do??

 

[freakydallas13]

I for one am glad this team has retained Laughton for so long, refusing the picks offered for him in order to preserve this amazing locker room.

We truly did owe it to him.

And that my friend is the 64k question?? When players start openly complaining about direction of team, what does management do??

Blame the players, obviously.

 

[Rodu58]

prob trade Michkov for a younger Deslaurier

 

[tictactoe]

yeah I do not know... I hate how Michkov is treated, I know we are trying to win games but he is our super star. Getting benched and possibly scratched not ideal.

 

[Sombastate]

I’m going to the game in Anaheim and I’m certain he’ll be benched

 

[renberg]

yeah I do not know... I hate how Michkov is treated, I know we are trying to win games but he is our super star. Getting benched and possibly scratched not ideal.

This is the problem. The emphasis for this club should be on development of players such as Michkov not winning games.

we are going nowhere this season or even next season. or the season after so we need this kid to shine for us.

 

[BillDineen]

When Koly was first pulled, Laughton was out there. Clearly MM was learning from watching Laughton from the bench. That is optimal development

 

[Sombastate]

You guys are crazy if you think this organization cares about Michkov complaining about Torts.

Torts is infallible

 

[bennysflyers16]

God I hope Cutter goes off in the next game.

Embarrass this dumpster fire.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Briere is a cucked little shit.

He’ll say nothing.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

yeah I do not know... I hate how Michkov is treated, I know we are trying to win games but he is our super star. Getting benched and possibly scratched not ideal.

I don't know if they are actually trying to win games. John is trying to win the 2004 game in 2024

 

[BillDineen]

Best line MM has been on was TK-Couturier-MM, but instead of periodically letting TK and MM roam, Torts is too worried about defense.

Best 3OT line is TK-MM, but Torts expressed making changes being worried about the defensive side of the puck.

TIppett-Frost-MM has other issues. MM needs space and teammates to feed him. Tippett was not doing that, even on the 1PP early in the year. Other problem is Torts doesn't trust Frost defensively nor MM.

Earlier in the year, the PP was in better at entries, this unit is a complete joke. They get entries and then barely set up. Drysdale is useless and Brink hasn't looked good on the left.

Other games where MM hasn't been in rhythm are when there were penalties early leading to less shifts or lines pinned.

If you were trying to maximize MM, he should have periodic shifts with TK and Foerster-Frost-MM should be given shifts without irrational defensive fear.

PP1 should be Foerster-TK-Frost-MM-(Andrae/Risto/Sanheim)

Edit:

I will add if you go by best lines, TK-Couturier-MM, Foerster-Cates-Brink and the 4th seem logical, but idiot Torts doesn't trust Farabee-Frost-TIppett as a line because of defense only which is moronic

 

[Cody Webster]

Imagine spending over 10 mill on goalies and they all are horrific.

I was told the other day the Flyers are great at developing goalies... it's their strong suit

 

[Cody Webster]

Imagine waking up on Christmas morning and reading that Torts has been let go.

Maybe he leaves to go back to New York to try and save them once Lavy is finally let go....one can hope, right?

 

[Tripod]

Oh...forgot we played today.

Guess no wins were piled up today.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Oh...forgot we played today.

Guess no wins were piled up today.

dont worry we won the #culture/60 thou...

 

[Danko]

Feels like the end of last season. Doors blown off every game with non competitive scores.

Same

It is just very apparant that they are far off from where they need to be and i think they are slowing themselves down to establish this culture. You've got to find ways to improve the talent around Michkov and to get Rocky as far away as possible.
