I can get on board with simply getting talents no one can screw up. That’s good. We want that.
Do you think Couturier processed this situation as, "I have detected how I can play all season with Michkov"?Couts dropping the gloves for Michkov.
Not sure I want Couts fighting in the preseason, but good team bonding moment.
It will be more than that. We're gonna have a whole generation of kids growing up in Russia who will be Flyers fans. The Flyers will be the team over there.I think even my most morose fellow Flyer fans might be just a little giddy about our best prospect since Lindros......this Michov could become a major star in the NHL.....and frankly, we deserve some good news.....
I thought Richard really flashed. I’m intrigued.This game started slow, but the NHLers found their way into the game.
Richard was the best bubble player, but Lycksell was good today, too.
Bonk and Ginning can pack their bags. McDonald can go, too, but he really hasn't been too bad in the preseason.
Don't mind keeping any of today's bubble forwards around for a while longer.
Fedotov was solid enough. His continuing soft spot is tracking pucks when they're near the crease close to his feet. His advantage is his size, so he can mitigate this by spending time in the butterfly, but that may inhibit him in other ways.
Watching Michkov play, he's easily the most naturally gifted Flyers player since Lindros. And he doesn't have the size advantage Lindros had.
