Flyers: Couturier, Michkov Overreaction

[Bill Meltzer]

The Philadelphia Flyers carry a winning record (8-5-2) into this week. The team has shaved a full goal-plus per game off their 2024-25 goals against average.

The comments are fine….but I don’t think it’s right that he is saying them to the media in a public forum. Basically, “he’s not cheating as much”. Behind closed doors these conversations happen every day. They should, because that’s how a 20 yr old learns. Coming from teammates carries much more weight then from a coach….Honestly I think Coots just said a little too much when answering….i think a proper answer is “His game continues to improve on the other side of the puck”. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal….but you mostly don’t hear a player talk about the short falls of another. I don’t remember ever hearing a captain talking about a young players short falls like that….i guess this does preclude us from talking about Cutter Gauthier leading the NHL in goal scoring….so there’s that…lol.

They do appear to have had that “new coach” bump. Guys like Brink, York and Drysdale appear to have taken another step which is huge if this team is to become a perennial contending team. Also quality goaltending has helped.

I don’t think this is accurate. Flyers fans that don’t trust management’s development know they need Michkov to succeed or this will be another decade of futility with Michkov and Martone being Giroux and Voracek.
