Flyers Sit Rookie Michkov Against Lightning
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2024 3:05 pm
Hey there! I just read about Matvei Michkov being a healthy scratch for the Flyers against the Lightning, and I have to say, it's a bit surprising given his potential. I get that John Tortorella has his methods, and sometimes benching a young player can be a way to teach them a lesson, but Michkov has shown he can contribute.
He started off strong, winning rookie of the month, and now it seems like he's hit a bit of a wall. It’s tough to see a player with so much talent not getting the ice time he needs to develop. I understand the need for tough love, but I hope this doesn't stifle his confidence. The Flyers are struggling, and they could really use his offensive spark right now.
What do you think? Is Tortorella's approach the right call, or should he be giving Michkov more chances to shine?
