The whole thing was pretty hilarious. Couturier didn’t say anything Tocchet hasn’t said already but didn’t sell as well as Tocchet does, throw in an offside that was on Coots where he looked upset (at Michkov???!!!) and the Michkov goal celebration where the team didn’t act like a bunch of cheerleaders and you did have a very funny mess that will amount to filler for a three day break between games. Coots could learn to not take the bait and keep things completely positive when asked troll questions from someone like Kurz. It’s important to keep in mind he works for a thoroughly dishonorable media conglomerate, the NY Times, that spent more than half a billion dollars for the Athletic, which has never turned a profit. Be happy to share at least one detailed story about how larger media organizations and reporters control the narrative towards conflict real or imagined.
“Meanwhile, within the locker room and on the ice, players have hold one another — and themselves — accountable so far when they don’t play up to expectations.”
are you saying they didn’t do that with the prior coach? thought the “room” was the best it ever was previously? more culture nonsense.
at the end of the day the flyers, in time, will have to make a choice. MM or tocchet. I have zero doubt it will come down to that decision.

Thanks Nostradamus!
To add. MM is off to a slow start. it happens. not a big deal. the fact he is getting the least number of minutes out of the top 9 forwards is plain dumb. there is no excuse for it at this stage. Tippet gets free reign.
russian #2 might as well go back to aHL to get top minutes. he will not get an opportunity at this time on the flyers. even the ahl scrub call ups get more time and move up the lineup.
why they refuse to keep zegras and MM together shows an out of touch coach. just remember what MM said over the summer about the dump and chase.

Five points in his last 6 games for MM. Trending in the right direction. Konecny started slow but picked up quicker. He’s got 12 points in his last 11 games and is a +4. The team is 6-3-1 in their last 10. There are a couple scoring issues but Michkov, or even Tippett aren’t among them.

tippet should be moved 100%. they have s surplus of wingers. get his contract off the books. he is on another long pointless streak. they won’t miss him 1 bit. now I do not expect them to trade him sadly.
For MM not even about the points. stop trying to make him something he is not. god fn forbid they utilize his strengths.

Surplus of wingers? Hahaha, maybe in the pipeline but not right here, right now.
Stop trying to make Michkov something he is not? What’s that, an NHL player?
Tk, zegras, the forest, tippet, brink, MM. Then you Martone after his college season ends.
yes, a surplus and organization strength.
making him into a 3rd line grinding winger. that flyers buzzword 200 ft game.

Maybe you have Martone when his season ends. As of today, there is no surplus up front. There’s no pressing need for the Flyers to do any deals.
Lots of highly skilled, high scoring Euro forwards knew how to D up. Kurri, Datsyuk, Federov, Barkov come immediately to mind.

is their strength on the current roster and organization on the wing? simple s or no.
well MM isn’t going to come close to thise 3 so the comparison is silly.

They’re deep enough up front when healthy. One guy goes down, they aren’t super deep. The real strength right now is team defense. They’re 5th in the league at the moment.

So is suggesting if Michkov pays attention to D-zone responsibilities, it’s somehow damaging his game. Cherry picking for breakaways in the neutral zone is something to be avoided.
Reason 1 for Frustration: Michkov Isn’t Struggling
There’s a popular idea right now that Michkov is struggling. This is used to justify his anemic 14:49 of average ice time, a figure that has been steadily declining. But those “struggles” are exaggerated, if not totally fabricated.
..
Keep in mind, the Flyers have a 39.29% goal share (outscored 17–11) at 5-on-5 during this span when Michkov isn’t on the ice. The team is actually kind of depending on him, despite the limited usage.Yet the 20-year-old has gotten more scrutiny than anyone else on the roster.

guess a simple yes or no is too much for you.
yes it will damage his game as the keep focusing on the perceived negatives. why not play to his strengths? has to play the “flyers” way. so much success with that so can’t blame the flyers for trying.

Hahaha! What are you, some wannabe ambulance chasing attorney?

I don’t see any indication the Flyers are focusing on negatives, perceived or not. In case you haven’t noticed, the Flyers have cut almost a full goal a game off their results from last year. Lots of forwards on this team needed to clean things up in their own end. Guys like Konecny, Brink, Tippett Foerster and Michkov had to get better results in their own end. So far they have, although Tippett is sagging again.
