Hey there! I just saw the news about Matvei Michkov being a healthy scratch for the Flyers, and I have to say, I'm pretty torn on this one. On one hand, I get that John Tortorella is trying to instill some discipline and accountability, especially since Michkov has had some struggles at 5-on-5. But scratching a rookie who just won Rookie of the Month? That feels a bit excessive to me.
Fans are understandably upset, and I can't blame them. Michkov has shown flashes of brilliance, and pulling him from the lineup could really mess with his confidence. I mean, this is a kid who has the potential to be a game-changer for the Flyers. Tortorella's approach might work for some players, but with a talent like Michkov, I think it could backfire.
It'll be interesting to see how Michkov reacts to this. If he takes it in stride and uses it as motivation, that could be a good sign for his development. But if he feels singled out, it could create some tension in the locker room. The Flyers have a lot of potential, and they need to make sure they're nurturing their young stars, not stifling them.
What do you think? Is Tortorella's strategy justified, or is he risking too much by scratching Michkov?
