Briere on the relationship between Michkov and Tocchet, and his evaluation of the coaching staff:
“As far as I know, I don’t think there’s a problem there. As far as the work that Rick’s put in, he’s the one last year that came back in the second half, was able to tweak our systems — he was a big part of the reason we were able to get into the postseason and win in the postseason. I expect him to do the same thing here. I expect him to find solutions and turn this thing around.”
@montepulcino That's where we disagree. This has been a losing culture without leaders for more than a decade. MM is clearly frustrated because he's being dogged by his awful coach and he has fringe NHLers berating him for not passing him the puck, can't fault him for that
Context was Michkov looked Seeler off and he started banging his stick on the ice like an actual child.
Also, we don't even really need context, Seeler is there to block shots and shut the fuck up. He's a 33yo with 78 career points barking at a 21 yo. Embarassing.
The Michkov mafia just bashing Seeler with absolutely no context about what the argument was about lol. That’s really the problem with the world today. Great game from 39 tonight.
@montepulcino Oh, the rest of the team hates him ! Surely the group of losers that have been hanging around for the last 5 years know what it's like to be part of a winning culture!
@montepulcino How is taking the side of the young star of my favourite team being "a miserab"? You like watching grinders and bottom pair D muck it up on nightly basis?
Following up on this Kevin Weekes bombshell, I’ve been told that Matvei Michkov has not formally requested a trade from the Flyers.
In fact, this report was news to the Flyers front office.
@GrumpaDotCA@Cheekz11_1 Michkov's downfall? He's on pace for 42 goals 😂
Your team missed out on Michkov bud, it happens. Flyers passed on Caufield for York, just move on.
@GrumpaDotCA@Cheekz11_1 You're still missing the point. Most of your fanbase wanted Michkov. When MTL took Reinbacher over him, all of sudden those same fans started saying Michkov was bad, would never come to N/A, etc. and praised the Reinbacher pick. That's why Reinbacher is brought up
@GrumpaDotCA Nothing to do with the conversation? Are you kidding me? Flyers fan revert to Reinbacher because he was drafted 2 spots ahead of Michkov, and Habs fans constantly bashed Michkov whenever they had the chance, while pumping Reinbacher's tires 😂
@PhillySlasher That's all well and good but they are 5-10-5 and maybe we should support the players who are actually skilled and not bottom pair defensemen who ''play the right way'' lol
@AmericanIpa8 I'm not gonna lie, my hopes for them making the playoffs this year were low. Last year was fun but it definitely seemed more like a fluke than anything else
