Tanking Gritty

@LesBowen Taking an unbiased look at this, developing players is a part of coaching and tocchets job. If michkov does not take a step forward next year, the team will take a step back and miss the playoffs. Michkov needs to have a big summer. However, it’s tocchets job to make him succeed.

I don’t know enough about the Michkov situation. I understand that developing him is crucial. But I’ve watched this series, and all he has done is take penalties. Tocchet got this team into the playoffs. If somebody needs a reality check, it isn’t the coach.

@DixyNormus67 It’ll be why the flyers will be irrelevant the next 50 years

@arrow7328 No shot.

Trade Michkov this offseason, I’m so sick of the nonsense in the media, I’d rather not have that distraction. Yes he’s a great player, but fuck that shit.

@SuitableAlias I cannot wait for this

Can you imagine how hard I'm gonna kill the whole franchise with "can't close" jokes if they don't win this series?

The fact that other teams beat reporters are falling for the Evan Atkins parody account is incredibly telling on how poorly the Flyers media has treated Matvei Michkov this season

Can’t wait to rock this shirt tomorrow

Seems appropriate to bring this back. Based on the Foerster comments by Rick it’s clear how he judges players now.

Matvei Michkov is a substantially better hockey player than Tyson Foerster, but they’ve already given up on him This xenophobic coach needs to go

@MedievalGritty Without black piping it looks like a temu product

an actual tragedy that this uniform didn’t have black piping

@sixers2022LG @BizNasty2point0 @FlyersNation 4th line minutes for the 3rd highest scorer on the team all playoffs isn’t great for him to get into the flow of the game. It doesn’t seem like you’ve played hockey at any point in your life.

@arrow7328 @BizNasty2point0 @FlyersNation Please stop it. Please.

This is exhausting, and Rick Tocchet still doesn’t trust him at all. I personally wouldn’t scratch one of your two main cogs for the future, especially when this was supposed to be about giving the young guys playoff experience. I also wouldn’t have had him playing only 8-11 minutes a night. Hopefully it works out. I can get behind this as a one-game reset, but there’s no way Matvei’s getting back in the lineup if they win Game 5. There’s your scapegoat for one loss. And yes, I know he’s struggled this series. It’s just not a move I would’ve made. I see the thought process though…they’re gonna play Rick Tocchet hockey again in Game 5 and suffocate PIT. Hopefully Alex Bump makes the most of this. Go FLYERS.

Danny Briere hiring Rick Tocchet set the franchise back a few years. He won’t realize it until it’s too late

@sixers2022LG @BizNasty2point0 @FlyersNation Hasn’t been put in a situation to succeed

@arrow7328 @BizNasty2point0 @FlyersNation Michkov has been dog shit. Fuck em

@tonyescargot Probably because it didn’t have fent or a cig with it

@BizNasty2point0 @FlyersNation Tochett purposely hampers michkovs chance to thrive. Tochett discriminates against Russians, he’s not that good of a coach to do it to the future of the franchise. Martone had a questionable game last game, but will continue to get minutes because he’s not Russian.

@FlyersNation Fuck are you dumb

My statement on the current Matevi Michkov discourse on Flyers twitter:
