I mean their defense has been okay with only 1 goal allowed in 5 periods

This type of speed isn’t as important as the short burst that gain space.

Younger players don't have the same levels of strength and conditioning as guys in their prime - its not uncommon for them to get worn out during the NHL schedule.
Usually not at the 10 game mark
I think it’s just a rookie learning the nhl game
Doesn't help he's playing with another Sochi team that plays a conservative defensive game.
When Demidov took a minor in a game and Rotenber benched him, and Demidov then started to play 5-6 min/game. It looks like Rotenberg and Torts understand the game the same way...

Maybe a little different than using your best forward as the extra and giving them 2 minutes

Demidov looks much more impactful on ice than Michkov. I can agree with benching Michkov but not Demidov.
They speak about his poor play at 5 vs 5 but it's the flyers pp that is truly horrendous

Minor speed bump at the start of a great NHL career is my takeaway. I don't even think Torts was hard on him. The whole situation all seems totally normal and reasonable to me.
NHL is a very hard league to get to and even harder to stay in.

He should be playing in the khl right now. The nhl is a bit too much for him, torts has no patience to coach him, the whole team is horrendous and the ahl is just a dumb meat grinder. Don't understand why he was so dead set on playing in the nhl this year.

He has nothing to learn in the KHL , and you can get your AHL jabs in but the KHL is not that serious of a league like it thinks itself.
Super competitive kid who's dream is to play hockey in the best league in the world against the best players and you're asking why he's dead set on leaving russia for NA lol

Can't agree with that. Kaprizov is a perfect example that there is a lot to learn in the khl. Leaving Russia for the sake of leaving Russia is a mistake. You need to focus on your development and what is right for you now. Michkov made a disservice to himself with his decision to leave the KHL and play for the crap flyers under Torts this year.

Yeah maybe I went overboard with nothing to learn , but I think he will learn more playing in the top 6 of a NHL team , of course if Torts goes nuts and starts benching the kid really really hard you might have a point but until it gets to that point I can't agree with you that he should have stayed overseas
Jesus, he'll be fine, I was at the game, he had couple looks, one was a very nice shot on delayed PP but he shot it just a hair above the bar, and then another good shot, but Binnington had a good glove save on that one. Both 2 games were the games whith not much going on, he also created a nice open look in the slot for Couturier but dude fanned on the shot. I wouldn't say he played any different than previous games. Just overall the whole team generated much less in last two games.
You really need to chill out, he’s likely to win rookie of the month and you are telling he needs to go back to Russia

For a 19 year old coming from a vastly different culture who has neither elite size, elite shot or elite skating I'd say he doing pretty well. You can tell he thinks the game offensively so very well........he will be a 100 point guy in the future once he gets it all figured out and has better personnel around him on the team.
Some people misjudged him in thinking he would light up this league in his rookie season, he's not Ovechkin,Malkin,Crosby, Mcdavid or that level of player where he can come into the league on a stinker team and still be a top star in his first season.
Welcome to the NHL rookie.

If he shouldn't be in the NHL what are about 15 guys on the flyers doing in the nhl? I guess 70% of the entire league should go overseas to learn
