🚨 Michael Carrick is said to be hurt by the way Man United handled his sacking. The club hierarchy understands his frustrations and there being 'some resentment' and regret the news leaked in the manner it did. [@TelegraphDucker] #mufc
“Talent is only 10% of success. The story of Matvei Michkov”
I translated an MHL article from February 2021 about Michkov for you. Here you can read what Matvei’s father and coaches say about his character and development
For those interested in MacKinnon's story:
Pavel Francouz said that during his first or second season with the Avalanche, he once ordered fried cheese with fries for dinner. When the waiter brought it to the table, MacKinnon immediately had a problem with it and basically asked him how he could possibly order something like that, adding that it would be the last time he'd ever see him eating something like that.
Another player (I believe it was Rantanen) had to step in to calm things down a bit.
Anyway, Francouz never ordered anything like that at a team dinner again. He understood that MacKinnon is simply a winner who wants to win at all costs. They went on to win the Stanley Cup later.
Yikes. If all it takes to keep Michkov on this team is firing Tocchet, you fire Tocchet 100 times out of 100.
You CANNOT lose another elite offensive talent; this fanbase will not accept it.
Tocchet is not a special coach. In fact, I actually think he's a horrible coach. Comcast is a billion-dollar company. You can afford to pay Tocchet 20 million to kick rocks rather than losing Michkov.
If they trade this kid because of this loser head coach and this locker room full of generational losers, I truly don't know if they will ever win back the fanbase.
The premise is that Tocchet would actually be chosen if it comes to it. But the shareholders would simply not allow this to occur lol.
However, what I have absolutely no doubt of is that Michkov has had it and is forcing that choice.
@PuckItFlyers Sergey Fedotov, the one talking about the situation, is Matvei’s former agent. Vorobyov is a coach of both KHL teams and the Russian national team.
Friedman says that EVERYONE knows the Weekes report is true because just like I said, Weekes' agent is Michkov's agent and he would never put it out there it untrue
Elliotte Friedman - 32T - #LetsGoFlyers : I will say this, over the last 24 hours, I heard some crazy stories about the relationship between Michkov and his teammates. This stuff is so sensitive, right now especially, [...] One thing I believe to be true is that one of the reasons everybody is disappointed by what happened in the last 24 to 48 hours is that there was a recent get together, meal, whatever, between some of the players, including Michkov, to work on this. Like a legit attempt. Let's hold hands, kumbaya, work together, be a team, and then there was this explosion on the bench. - 11/12 #NHL
