I don’t want to keep beating a dead horse, and don’t want to be an online doomer- but, for the future of this team, Tocchet needs to go at the end of the season. I’m sure he’s a great person. But, “trying Michkov out” at his natural position and “having thoughts on it” show that he is incapable of getting past his preconceived notions on who Michkov is as a player and what is best for the long term success of the team.
All I want is for the Flyers to be good again. I dream of it. Tocchet is not the guy to get them there. Before this turns into another Hakstol situation, please just move on at seasons end.
I’ll be branded a Flyers idiot for saying this, but this dude is a full blown narcissist. Charlie asked him a simple question and he immediately got defensive and then queues of a Florida reference to justify his actions. His felt his ego threatened. Same as when he was challenged at the carnival. Believe me or not, but if you have worked with people with personality disorders then you see it clear as day.
O'Connor: "Was putting Michkov back on the right, was that mostly about putting him back with Barkey since he's a natural lefty, or did you just think it was the right time to move him back?"
Tocchet: "Well Bobby leaving, and Mich wants to try it, and we'll see. I got my thoughts on that, but uh, we'll see how it goes."
Rick Tocchet is entirely disconnected from reality. Michkov's success IS The Flyers' success — they are one and the same. This adversarial mindset has no place in the org. How on Earth is it so puzzling to Tocchet that Michkov "wants to try it"? He's not trying anything. He's been a right wing his entire career.
If we are at the point of management having to force the head coach to do something as basic as play their (hopeful) future franchise player at his natural position — and Tocchet's words here suggest the decision was not his own — then the org must dismiss this coach ASAP. My goodness, what a fumble this coaching hire was.
I'm 71, I was proud too see Toccett be the new coach, because of his past with the Flyers, But now, NOT so much, I wish he would stop interviews, He's constantly telling other teams how we improved, shut your mouth MAN, talk to reporters 2 times a month, NOT every other Day, And could please stop calling with NIC names, like their BABIES, And no one person knows all these BABY names in an interview interviewing interview
Mr.Tocket. I know Iam spelling your name wrong Buddy, But I love yea, you need too address these men by their names, especially, First ,, it gets there attention, and RESPECT

Great audio

A good mic is like a couple hundred bucks. You’re wasting 5 million on this coach
Audio quality is surprisingly better than Danny B’s trade deadline

Love him taking subtle jabs at the media and calling out their bs.
Absurd answer from Tocchet on playing Michkov at right wing (his natural position).

I am tired of rebuild Tochett is good but as long comcast owns this team it’s not going to happen.
Sounds like the audio from the moon landing
SOG is horrendous
Sounds like someone has a hot mic in their pocket

How would you like it if TOCCETT we called you Ricky, or tiny Ricky, or would you have more respect as Mr. TOCKETT
If the man's name , eg, if the man's name is OWEN TIPPET, call him OWEN, NOT TIPPY, LIKE A QUEER SHOW

Tocchet is a great MEDIA guy, coach not so much
