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

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?

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.

It really was, closest they looked to last year so far in this one. I think everyone else on the team got quite a message out of that. Helped that they got a solid performance out of Fedotov.
