Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus: Flyers earn a 4-2 Regulation Win over the Caps and we breakdown the games biggest plays and result. Plus thoughts on how the Flyers handle the return to the ice after the Olympic break and the areas of focus as they actually in some practice time. We also hear from GM Daniel Briere prior to the game as he addressed the media on a number of topics including the noise around Matvei Michkov.

Well that was much more fun!
At even strength, I prefer Michkov on the left wing. He likes to carry the puck between his body and the boards. On the LW, he is attacking forward. On the RW, he is heading towards the blueline. Good teams will leave him out there all game.
Play him on the right side on power play 1. More set plays and more open space.
Great show!!
🙏🙏🙏
Big win
LETS GO 👏👏 👏👏👏
No Jason, the messaging on Sunday was different from the coach, the President, the Chairman and the GM.
This was a bad look for Tocchet, the fact that Breier had to do this media session probably pissed him off, and Michkov playing almost 16 minutes in the game is hardly a coincidence. I think Tocchet got drilled yesterday behind closed doors and rightly so. Michkov is the future of this team and Tocchet needs to bend over backwards to help him, and put rest the “it’s all for the crest” nonsense. This is not the movies, this is reality with today’s athletes.
“Go away to detach?” The way this club is playing I would have all the non-Olympians at the rink seven days a week at 6 AM. The bag skate will last until every member of the club vomits. (Last player to vomit gets the next day off.) Then I would have the maintenance staff scoop up a sample of each player’s vomit and have the medical staff test it to ensure club members are not ingesting food to hasten the nauseating process.
Finally I would spend another 90 minutes working on the club’s forechecking, back-checking, cycling the puck down low, power-play, and penalty kill. Then the club members could have the rest of the day off to recover.
Of course Jason loved Briere's "media availability." It was embarrassing to even HAVE to do it! You're covering for a club president saying "we have to remind the coaches to play the young players." It's all window dressing because the rebuild, power play, and pipeline are a complete utter JOKE! Don't be fooled people.
How are we going backwards from the 3 now wasted years of a "Standard" John Tortorella instilled. What's the standard now? Blame game? Why… if going backwards was the intention…why rush the keys to hand to Rick? All 4 wheels are spinning. They were better With Kuzmenko and Laughton. This is clown show.. are we following the NY Jets or something? Wake me up… or them.. they get paid MILLIONS to play hockey and they can't figure out the Man Advantage? It's self explanatory! You're outnumbering the opponent and when you aren't 5v5. It's called "shorthanded" when we are down a man. #Newsflash 🙄
