From kurz today:
Still, Michkov’s start was concerning. He simply didn’t arrive in camp in good enough shape, something that Tocchet has overtly suggested a few times. Perhaps that was partly because of the ankle injury that was conveniently revealed earlier this month after the season began, but Tocchet has also indicated that Michkov will have to do a better job of taking care of himself off the ice as he moves along in his career.
“He’s (20) years old. It’s about what am I eating? How is he recovering?” Tocchet said on Oct. 15. “When you have a young player, you almost have to tell them sometimes, you’ve got to recover here. What are you eating after games? Things like that. I think that will help him in the long run. … We have to teach him certain things like that.”
— is the smear campaign starting?
did risto have elbow reconstructive surgery? hysterical. he has been out since what march? when did the actual surgery occur as forget. flyers crack pot medical team on their game once again.
when he does return the spin will be this like making a trade for a top 4 dman and the like.
This kid should be back in junior, it’ll be a wasted year for him down there but it’s better to work on his offense in junior than flail away with the Flyers playing 8 minutes a night.
how is it a wasted year?
Why they are delaying as long is possible is a joke (dont want to look bad?). He is also not far past the point of junior hockey. Why people think this is also a joke. How can a simple solution turn into a project just reeks of more management incompetence.
didnt realize healthy scratch 6/7 dman are worth a 3rd rd pick. flyers once again overvaluing their players?
One move I would look into next summer is talking to logan cooley about signing an offer sheet. You will have to overpay though in this case not an issue. The big caveat is if he wants out of Utah, he won’t sign an offer sheet as they could match. Also, he may not want to come to Philly. Maybe heads back to Pitt to play with Mckenna and Crosby…..
Leo Carlson and fantili are also 2 guys I speak with. This really looks like the only chance for a top end center. Yes, the chance is small. Though you have to do your due diligence. think outside the flyers bubble.
I still maintain, the absence of Tortorella has a lot to do with the uptick in the players GAF, and you’re seeing that in their play.
Whatever works. Taco deserves some credit. They look like a cohesive team most of the time. The extended in game stretches where they strung multiple bad shifts together have been few.
i don’t see much diff in their play compared to torts. with the exception of the focus not being on blocking shots. as well as better goaltending.
whats with “taco”?
Top half and better balanced than most.
This year is starting to remind me a lot of the 07-08 team. By 2010, that team was in the finals.
Personally, I don’t see the resemblance to 07-08 and I certainly don’t see a Chris Pronger in their future. But ya never know…right!
dont forget players will want to play for coach tocchet.
they do not have 2 of their top 4 dman out. Risto being a top 4 on this team does not equate to him being a legit top 4 league wide. he isn’t.
what happens when the goalies regresses back his mean?
Doesn’t matter. He’ll help
- this
team when he’s back in the lineup.
Ersson isn’t the co-number one any more. Vladar has won the job. The Flyers will remain much better in front of him than CGY was. That’s a team that is bottoming out. You shouldn’t overestimate the bulk of the league.
erson was never a co-number one IMO. he was by default. well, calgary was good last year defensively. better than the flyers. the havent been that good as he has bailed them out. nothing in vladers past suggest he will continue to post .93 save percentage.
you shouldn’t overestimate the flyers players. cant wait until april.
they have a team light schedule coming up as well. peeps gong to be peacocking around. cant wait to see it.
I’ve always been a Tocchet fan, as a player and a coach, obviously I don’t know him as a person, so if he has them overachieving by Christmas. You’d better believe I’m gonna be strutting around…LOL!
great player. bland boring coach with a losing record.
what’s his track record with russian players?
flyers fans crack me up. dont need centers. As I said teams won’t give up centers for wingers more than likely. just think how good this group will be when dvorak starts scoring and the jett/nesbitt waiting in the wings.
based on your stats is this easily a top 5 center group? where would you rank them league wide?
another simple question for you. do you see the flyers winning a cup in the next 4 years? yes or no.
Top half and better balanced than most.
This year is starting to remind me a lot of the 07-08 team. By 2010, that team was in the finals.
again, can’t answer simple questions. will assume based on that your answer is yes.
so top 15 is your answer?
