No, flyers fans are not fuming.
Kevin Kurz is stirring shit for clicks.
As someone who gives no shits about the flyers really and also thinks tocchet is a fine coach (not bad, not great) I will say…
When you are not a Stanley cup contender, which the flyers are not . It is almost always the right move to play your young players and allow them to make mistakes. This obviously has to be to a point but cmon every pure offensive talent has struggles early and with time and opportunity most figure it out. The ones who don’t, tend to be the ones who get buried early.
i heard it was tocchet system of dump and chase. most russian players are moving constantly in rhythm. dump and chase does not suit michkov. it will work itself out.
The Flyers are owned by a media company. They are ALL about narrative. Anyone who questions how they are being built or used gets it from the majority of their shocktroops (journalists).
"Do the right things"… Coots and TK turnover and out position themselves more than Mich but they don't get shit on. Be real
As a Philly fan, This year is strictly house money. I know with the prospects they have the Flyers are going to be a very Big physical team in the coming years. Let the Briere Plan play out everything is going to be fine
