It's not a perception. Watch the games. I dont know what to tell ya. You don't see other young players on the team reacting the same way as he does. I'm also not dismissing that he has been misused and they are limiting his time...Torts admitted this. I get it, i get the flaws of the organization...I've been vocal about it as well, however its not some conspiracy that the guy who is bent over with a red face huffing and puffing after a shift is clearly tired. They've played lots of back to backs.

At the most you get a brief glimpse of a player and you certainly don't get enough views of every player to compare to how gassed they get compared to Michkov during a televised game. Honestly, why do fans do this? I wouldn't believe Tortorella if he told me the sun was coming up tomorrow.

What you're posting isn't just your opinion. Tell me that you're getting enough views of all the players as well as Michkov shift after shift to form the conclusion and the opinion that Michkov looks more gassed than the rest of the players do? You know you aren't and what you're saying is just conjecture and confirmation bias.

This is a zero win argument that I don't wish to continue. Although I will leave this here.

Every player goes through that in a season. Michkov is just trying to fit in with the team and not rock the boat with the lunatic head coach. Normal adjustments for any young player. Michkov is not tired.

Most Dmen are fully known commodities by the time they are 23. "Dmen take longer" is a myth.

There is more to offense than the act of shooting. A thing the Flyers do not understand, and a reason their obsession with shoot-first players like Tippett has never paid off.

I ask again. If offense is easier than defense, why don't the Flyers just score? They're already doing the hard thing. Why not do the easier thing too?

Nobody's arguing that there is a lack of high end talent on the roster we're just disagreeing on timelines and how to get it. You want to tank I get that. I disagree.

If Michkov is gassed then you sit him a game here and there, not play him every game but only 8 minutes a night.
