Michkov to be healthy scratched tonight

[nbwingsfan]

He’s been pretty brutal 5v5 lately but still… you don’t bench a guy like that

That's the funny part. Since the Flyers somehow won one of their ~35 meaningless wins this season, Torts is thinking about how right he is and really has this shit figured out in his bed at night.

They look better without him.

And the Leafs crushed the Bruins 4-0 without Matthews with struggling PP scoring 3 goals in the game. And Oilers have winning record without McDavid this season while are losing pretty badly with him. If only teams figured out the recipe to success is not playing their best players more often.

I wouldn't say that the Leafs have looked better without Matthews, win or lose.

I consider it a bit of a bellweather. The team knows the significance of Michkov. They absolutely checked the f*** out on Torts last year after he scratched Couturier—they damn near lost out.

So if they look like a completely disinterested, dejected pile of shit tonight, I think that'll be decent evidence he's lost them.

Well that might have been their best game of the season. What do we make of that?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Didn't it happen to Leo Carlsson? Nobody gave a shit because it wasn't Tortorella doing it.

They had a plan for him with development and strength or whatever they called it. Not even remotely the same. Torts is a dipshit. He didn't want Michkov talking to a Russian player so he would communicate on his own, you know, in a language he's learning still now with no help or support.

Edit: Found the tweet.

Didn't the Leafs win their games without Matthews in the playoffs last season but lost when he returned?

Lol
