Torts could be the first coach that actually challenges him. He is so naturally talented that other coaches may have not coached him and just let him do his thing.

He’ll be forced to watch cut ups of shifts from flyers legends such as Jody Shelley, Darrol powe, Ian lapperriere and of course Chris vandevelde. These players are staples in flyers lore and michkov must dig deep and find in him even a morsel of what these flyers legends brought night in and night out

I wish they’d personally drive TK and Laughton to the airport.

Um, no. Are you familiar with Russian coaching? And Michkov will push back if he disagrees. That's been a knock on him.

By all means be a tough coach but be honest and fair. If you’re going to sit a player call him into the office and tell them.
The Torts plan that he won’t go to a player and talk to them is a douche move.
Be a leader as a coach not some high school gym/drama club coach.

Really lmfao, they are professionals they should exactly already know what's expected, and when they don't do it there is consequences.

Stop babying grown men. They make millions idc if there little feelings get hurt.

Is the coach my favorite no but at this point I don't mind it like the rest of you, young kids need to be shown structure and what's expected.

Look at the leafs for a example of babying a team, they become soft and entitled.
Heck they even warm up to lady gaga lol 😆

Torts might actually like that depending on how.

Or Michkov could end Torts career prematurely.

I'm not sure yet they are incompetent, time will tell.

I personally think this year we be in the bottom 10 hopefully bottom 5, with 3 first rd picks in a stronger draft class.
And with cap space opening up in the next few seasons.
Flyers could possibly turn things into a contender. It all depends on what they do this year

No one is advocating babying the man. What people don’t want to see is Torts behaving like he did when he lashed out at Brink like he was an angry father scolding a teenager for lighting the carpet on fire. I’m sure Michkov can handle tough but fair coaches. But like you said, they are professionals and they (players and COACHES) should act like professionals. Torts wasn’t very professional when he acted like that towards Brink. Or lied to the public when he cited Coots bad play as the reason for his benching as opposed to the truth that he was playing hurt.

Agree on the brink reply.
Probably wasn't the best way of handling it, but I'm not to beat up about it.

The coots thing. Idc if you are playing hurt that is your choice but you can't use that for a excuse even though I agree it definitely hauled his abilities. The problem with letting players use playing hurt as a excuse, it will allow every player to have a out on playing bad

Heck jamie was hurt all year, I don't hear excuses being thrown for him

It has nothing to do with babying. Call the guy into the office. Hey you’ve been sucking lately and your play needs to be better or you’re not going to play.
Here is what we need you to do.

Or

Don’t say poop and just sit the guy for multiple games. If he comes in and wants to know what’s up then you will tell him?. IMO that’s a load of bull poop. That’s what a woman would do pull the silent treatment and make you guess what you did.
I don’t play that game.

Smh I’m surprised they are not all holding hands.
Looks
Like a staged photo op.

DB should have brought a hot chick or two who speak Russian with him. Have him sit in the back seat with the hotties.

lol...where have you been?

Some, like myself, see Drysdale as nothing more than an injury prone, second pairing dman. When stating this, the defense against this is that "we never saw the real player because he was hurt all last year,and hurt when we traded for him....but just wait..he's healthy now and we will see what we have. "

I am sure Anaheim fans said the same thing at the start of 2023-24 season.

But yes, Drysdale's injury history has been used many, many times as a defense as to why he has so far been underwhelming, to be kind.

Torts greeted him at the airport, took his phone and entered the address for the phantoms stadium into his GPS app…. In Russian.

When did Couturier use it as an excuse?
