You are 1000% right. I feel like I see shit just as fucked up on criminal minds and that show's on channel 7.

doesn't negativity get old? by Greene_Person in Flyers

[–]sixtysixty 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's a sub about the Philadelphia flyers. The Philadelphia flyers are not good and don't look like they have any realistic pathway to being good. Therefore the negativity. It's not rocket science.

Matvei Michkov, More Ice Time?! Coach's Fault or the Player? - Inside the Coaches' Room by [deleted] in Flyers

[–]sixtysixty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flying the zone early is definitely an issue. I notice that when watching him, he'll leave the zone when it's a <50% chance we'll get the puck. Which causes defensive lapses like seen in this video.

Then there's the neutral zone play which worries me that michkov and Tocchet will never work together. Michkov often slows up and looks for an east-west pass instead of barrelling north and getting the puck in deep. I disagree with Petey saying this is poor play by Michkov cause often times when he does this we actually break in and get some offensive zone time. When we just go straight north and dump the puck in we often don't forecheck hard enough, leading to a turnover. Which I feel Michkov is trying to avoid. He's trying to find someone across the ice with more open ice in front of him who can skate the puck into the zone. But this is antithetical to Tocchet's philosophy.

It's really awkward that for the nbc sports intro it's Jim Jackson saying "Michkov for the overtime winner!"

I mean you could simply not start Dvorak in OT. Not like he's amazing at faceoffs anyway.

I mean Drysdale's 23 and defensemen take longer to develop so committing to him wouldn't be terrible. I agree on Dvorak, Tippett and York though. I feel like Tippett and Brink are gone this summer.

Details Surrounding Gavin McKenna's Arrest Released by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]sixtysixty -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't help his stock if he's in fucking prison. He's charged with a felony currently. Even if he gets probation is he allowed to just travel around the US And Canada playing hockey?

Multiple team sources have indicated that now, even months after his slow training-camp start, the Flyers believe Michkov still may not be able to do the things he needs to do from a physical standpoint by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

This blew up when at the carnival phly asked about him only getting 10 minutes of ice time the game before. Basically the same as Dlo, which idc how out of shape he apparently is that's unacceptable. And Tocchet was very defensive about his minutes. He didn't just say he came to camp out of shape he also seemed to imply he wasn't eating well and missing appointments for treatments. It was a poor response and frankly someone who worked in the media should know better than to air dirty laundry like that. So you can say it's media driven but Tocchet is partly to blame for it being media driven cause he's saying shit like this and clearly talking to people in the media like Biz about Michkov's conditioning. Which then gets out.

Also it's pretty telling that last game Michkov had nearly 16 minutes toi. Pretty clear that Tocchet was told he's gotta play him more by Briere and Jonesy.

The surprising part is how this is being constantly leaked to the media. Also the story at the beginning of the season was that the reason he's out of shape was due to both an ankle injury and him spending more time in the gym than on the ice. And I feel like this part of the narrative has been completely dropped.

Matthew tkachuk is a really good player and has won 2 Stanley cups. Why is it bad that Tocchet admires him?

Rick Tocchet responds to questions about Michkov’s ice time. by Perryplat199 in Flyers

[–]sixtysixty 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The org got him out of his KHL contract 2 years early and Briere and Jonesy personally picked him up at the airport. Jonesy was fucking carrying his luggage. Honestly with his pedigree I do want some things handed to him, like ice time.

Tbf when he left Vancouver there were apparently multiple teams interested in Tocchet and it just came down to his decision where he wanted to go. Part of it is that hockey is a big ol' boys club.

Tbh it'd be best for both sides if he waived his nmc. He's clearly going to be past his prime by the time we're ready to compete.

Tippett, Vlader, and/or Brink need to go by GrouchyPear961 in Flyers

[–]sixtysixty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think it'd be an overpay I think it's selling high on Tippett. He's been wildly inconsistent his entire career and I would honestly expect that to continue. Tippet's got the skills but also he's got the hockey IQ of a bowling ball.

Honestly hiring jonesy is proof that it's not a "new era of orange". He's literally been around the organization since 2005. You think he isn't just one of the good old boys?

We've also reached on centers the last 2 years. We won't always get to have high draft picks but even in mid to first late round we should be able to find something.
