@avappleyard@NHLFlyers This stat alone should be enough ammo for the front office to fast track this team to playoff contention! Yes, rebuilding….but hard to see forward progress.
Great breakdown. Conditioning may be a factor, but attention to detail is for sure. Coaching and hard work will help Matvei unlock his full potential. However, the team in its current state should look to give him as many reps as possible to develop in these areas quickly - as a TOP priority.
@JimIkeHW He shows flashes of Mackinnon when he gets his feet moving. Elite speed. Lacking consistency has always been his struggle. Mackinnon never takes a shift off.
@BizNasty2point0 Rage bait. He’s 21 years old and adjusting to a brand new world. Has he underperformed to his standard, for sure. Us Flyers fans are just starving for something other than mediocrity.
@KKurzNHL The game is teaching Michkov a hard lesson, let’s hope he’s willing to put the work in and learn from it by over-preparing his mind and body to become an NHL star which is talents suggest he can be.
@SportsRadioWIP The kid is 21 years old, in a foreign land, and learning how to be a pro in the National - with broken English. I think a little patience will pay huge dividends.
@charlieo_conn Honestly, I think it’s a good perspective even if it’s not what we the fans want to hear. Though, I do think it’s on the coaching staff to give him enough touches to display growth, especially on the power play.
