@fhr3823@Brodes81 The people outside of Philly are not covering the Michkov Flyers situation objectively at all. Tapping in for their clicks and already moved on. There’s a reason why every outlet has to tap into Philly beat for insight when this shit happens. Shut up lmao
Fanbase will not care about the similarities of the situations they will only care that 2 players they couldn’t keep are combining for 75 goals a year on other teams & that’s justified frustration if it goes that way.
Understand most people are quickly going to say this could turn into Cutter Gauthier 2.0, but that was a totally different situation...
Gauthier situation was about signing his ELC when the Flyers were transitioning between front offices and when the interim who didnt sign him was named the GM, you can see the problem there.
Michkov's situation, which reminder is sourced info from league sources and has been denied by Flyers, is more about what has transpired this year with the team. Obviously you can draw your own conclusions to why and see how they can be fixed.
So, why its easy to say it could be Cutter 2.0, it really isnt. This situation has plenty of solutions that would resolve the situation and see Michkov in Philadelphia long term still.
@iHeartGeorgius1 Insane hahah. They rolled up 10 on 2 and half their crew touched earth or walked away limping while these 2 go to the hospital and laugh on Instagram. Amazing.
The head coach was in this exact same situation a few years ago in a different conference and country. We were told Cutter was a problem child. Now we’re being told Michkov is a problem child.
I’m dumb but I’m not blind. Blow the whole organization up.
Does anyone else think it's so strange that the Vancouver Canucks had this exact stuff happening like 2 years ago? I wonder what the connection between the two situations could be.
& just so we’re clear. Because of how the Flyers have handled drama the last half decade this means absolutely nothing and they can’t be trusted. We will know where they stand based on who is still here later. This is just getting started 🍿
That’s how hockey works dummy. Your shot gets blocked, you back-check. You can’t call him a lazy bum that doesn’t play D while simultaneously acknowledging that he backchecks his own turnovers. It’s a contradiction. You need high skill players that take risky shots from time to time to win in this league now. Michkov will get traded and go be a perennial 35+ goal scorer while you celebrate Nick Seeler blocking shots on a non-playoff team.
@ChiefManaea Cool! Go tweet them about it. Why are you pushing that here under a Pro-Benge tweet that’s strictly about his upside as a player? You’re just rambling arguments that don’t apply to what I said.
The stat that sticks out to me in the Sal Stewart vs. Carson Benge debate is RISP.
Stewart:
.301 AVG / .924 OPS
12 HR 84 RBI - 156 AB
Benge:
.254 AVG / .652 OPS
1 HR 39 RBI - 138 AB
I know were in an age of not caring about RBI. It can be opportunity based and you need to go past surface level.. but it can also be clutch based.
