do i think Matvei Michkov has requested a trade? no. do I think him and his agent have intentionally pushed the buttons to say "hey get your fucking shit together"? absolutely. and for that I thank them. someone had to do it.
will firing tocc completely fix the internal turmoil? probably not but ljke. im sorry these guys didnt collapse entirely under 4 years of torts when they were much, much worse and much, much more hopeless. i simply dont buy hes not massively contributing to the culture
The only hope is that this is a pressure play from Michkov’s camp to make Briere do something. The fact it got to this point regardless is totally, TOTALLY fucking embarrassing.
we must stop getting distracted by squabbles between players and instead remember what unites us as Flyers fans: staging a coup against the Flyers front office and also the coaching staff
I'm generally OK with giving a young player like Knuble nights off here and there (especially in the 2nd game of a B2B). And he had a tough night vs. CGY. But it's not exactly a shock he struggled in a scoring center role. He shouldn't be buried because he didn't thrive in it.
