The thing is, in the long run, Michkov is the only one who will win against Tortorella.


i do not have confidence in this. i think it is just as likely michkov seeks a new home that the flyers organization fundamentally changes their operations.

to hire toots, make his continued employment a required condition for your poho and gm, and with no organizational rebuke or alteration of toots methods and failings thus far, i think the “michkov will change things” idea will soon be a delusion similar to “give danny a chance”.

Unless Michkov himself legitimately becomes a problem, or cries and carries on on his own, no. There is far too much capital invested in Michkov. If you’re moving on from him, you’re admitting that you’re starting the fake rebuild over.

to be more clear, i could see the flyers bumbling ways carry on to the point that michkov goes “ight i dont want this shit no more”, and takes the decision out of their hands.

That doesn’t happen before axing Torts though. If it gets to the point where it’s one or the other, Michkov definitely wins that or else the authentics will abandon ship again.

We just saw them botch Gauthier. There's no reason to think they can't find a way to botch MM

Tortorella said in that interview that Ovechkin won a Cup because he bought in defensively. Ovechkin never didn’t reek defensively. Michkov will likely always be mediocre away from the puck, and it doesn’t mean 1/10th as much as he thinks, especially at the sacrifice of his strengths. It’s the Jack Han Development Meme. Meanwhile, the jackass thinks he has the Coca-Cola formula for telling a wing to block shots and not cheat the zone.

Tortorella should just quit coaching and do what he has always secretly desired: telling camp fire stories to impressionable children and senile geezers.

the flyers culture is so infectious i could see them being oblivious to a festering michkov boil until they snag him putting on their quarter-zip, and are only left with a sad warm liquid running down their chest.


shoutout @freakydallas13 and their chuckles drool imagery as the inspo for this post
