Confirmed with Link: SKA Officially Terminates Matvei Michkov’s Contract - He’s Coming! upd: signs ELC on 7/1

[Cody Webster]

Yes

I started packing my bags and was about to tell the wife and kid that I'll miss them

 

[Danko]

 

[ellja3]

Damn, you must be young.

Zhamnov, Markov and even Yushkevich back in the mid-2000s

Uhm, oops? I started watching Flyers more closely in 2010, in mid-2000s I was around 10 years old and the only NHL memory is Artur Irbe's loco run to SCF w Canes. So yeah, it adds up I missed those guys from the list.

 

[Danko]

Congrats Philly fans. You have a star player on your hands. He’s going to score many many goals in this league. His offensive instincts are off the charts.

 

[BernieParent]

Never noticed how much he looks like young Cary Elwes before.

 

[Kermit the Prog]

I'm going to start mining these threads to make greeting cards.

Imma make bank

The Torts hate on this board is going to surpass Hakstol and his beet farm quite easily this year.

To be fair, the only posters who truly like him are the trolls who frequent these parts. The rest of us sane folks see him as a middling at best coach. His career track record is very “mid”

 

[PDX Flyer]

I’m interested

I’m all the way out in Oregon.

Briere and Jones wearing coats outside on a muggy day in late July tells me everything I need to know about their capacity to lead this team.

Sociopath behavior.

 

[Magua]

Sociopath behavior.

“Does he wear a coat in July?” is the answer to any moronic move Briere has made or will make. If you wear a coat outside in July, especially ones with Flyers logos, your brain is soup.

Speaking of which, more deranged behavior: always needing to wear an entire outfit with a Flyers logo. Their Flyers Youth uniforms speak to a lack of creativity and individuality.

You made it!

Some, sadly, were not so lucky...

 

[Curufinwe]

That is nuts. Outside of rain storms, I haven't worn a coat in a couple of months.

 

[BernieParent]

So Hanrahan is a cap expert and a chauffeur?

If he drove like he manages the cap, they would have run out of gas halfway from the airport.

 

[Audible Velvet]

I’m all the way out in Oregon.

I hear it’s nice out there

 

[swami24]

Inconceivable!!

OT, but to double down on today's Princess Bride references:

 

[Danko]

I dont even think Slava is the skating coach anymore so he is likely just around because he was once an employee and knows Russian.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

what kinda pose is that Jonesy lol and hy is the other guy playing pocket ball

Probably just farted.

 

[Hockeypete49]

So we are talking about clothes now. MM is here and you are talking about clothes!

 

[trostol]

Pretty much..we know what MM potentially should bring..despite what the three headed monster does...so we need to talk about something

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

For the love of God, someone better ask him some worthwhile questions tomorrow. I want to hear about his current thoughts on trying the center position after experimenting with it last summer at SKA.

Instead, I expect fluff "How helpful has it been that your teammates have reached out to you over text/social media?" and "What about Philadelphia excites you the most?" loaded BS.

Are you prepared to block shots, hit and fight before scoring goals?

Got my Canucks/Flyers opening night tickets today.

Please don't scratch him, Torts.

Maybe he won’t be scratched on the road as he has no hometown in North America

 

[Danko]

Michkov apparently wanted to get on the ice when he got here but theres a sled hockey team on the only sheet avfailable right now. So he hit the gym instead

 

[trostol]

Dudes got work ethic out the wazoo

Dudes got work ethic out the wazoo

You just know he brings all his protein powder and supplements to the gym in a lunch pail. #BornToBeAFlyer
