I agree that playing for OT sucks but Tocchet also sucks with his decisions in OT. Michkov hasn’t scored in OT this year because he hasn’t played in OT and still leads the team in OT goals over the last 2 years. 2 goals in 18 games for the Flyers this season is horrific.
Loved the stats breakdown but i wish you could breakdown last year’s stats even further as last season was an adjustment for him and going through multiple coaches,etc. He came into the league and was a point a game the first couple months. I think he was about a 1 PPG through 12/10 last year? Maybe none of that is statistically significant but i feel he had alot to overcome last year – new team, new country, multiple new coaches.
I am glad you agree that the Flyers need to FREE MICHKOV! after the olympic break. For god sake let him take some OT shifts. Development, not wins is what’s important.
I still don’t think Tocchet is the right coach for a rebuilding team and Front office apparently agrees as Jonesy keeps telling us that he has to remind the coaches to play the young kids and DB keeps (erroneously imo and probably more for his own sake in keeping his job) keeps talking about the playoffs instead of acquiring more talent.
What are your thoughts on Pronger’s insights?
“I don’t know any team — any team — that rebuilds with a winger,” Pronger said. “I don’t know one good team who rebuilt with a winger. You don’t rebuild with a winger, you rebuild up the middle — center, defense, goalie. I know you [draft] the best player available, and clearly he was the best player, but as it relates to that, sometimes you have to luck out, too, in a rebuild and get the right pick when the right player is available.”
In January, Pronger posted on X that those centerpiece players are the hardest to find, and the Flyers need to be patient and deliberate about compiling assets to make those moves if they become available. But he also suggested that the best way to rebuild is to tear it all the way down, like San Jose and Chicago have done, for a chance at landing a player like Macklin Celebrini or Connor Bedard.

danny is a putz and in over his head. that’s been clear for a while. He let torts walk all over him and now tocchet. they seem to not have much respect for their boss.
The Flyers show all the signs of an organization that has little to no internal communication… nobody ever seems to be on the same page (and that’s been the case for a while now), and it’s why I continually say they’re directionless.

I think part of it are the qualifications of those put in charge. The qualifications mostly stop at being exflyers which in itself has no bearing on running a team capably. DB interning under Fletcher was not a good thing as he was one of the most incompetent GMs during his tenure but he was, if nothing else, a company man who wouldn’t get dressed in the morning without Clarke’s say so.

Sam has never been all that good at every stop. He is what he is, not very good. If they bring him back, which nothing surprises me, then another epic failure.
Don’t be shocked if Stolarz is acquired. Makes some sense on many levels. Splits with vladar or 60/40. Has shown to be an above average backup or split starter. Keeps your $ invested in a goalie somewhat down between the 2. Flyers have no one in the system close to ready. probably wont cost much at all.
Is taking a guy 48th overall (shanye) and his ceiling is GH is that getting good value? How many players who don’t produce in college actually go on to produce at the NHL level? Flyers really have the market cornered on potential 3rd/4th line players if they pan out.
Cates for Stramel. See if it happens.
