Blame it on the Philly brass for hyping up Michkov to the fanbase and openly admitting to building the team around him. Naturally the media is going to ask about him BECAUSE the fans talk mostly about Michkov. They're doing their job and aren't idiots. They're going to ask the questions they know the fans want asked.
Translation : Mchkov is just another player, I don't want to talk about him, his progress is less important than winning… in other words, I like hard-working players, superstars are overrated…
Tocco is bent out of shape over Michkov, we were told this guy was the chief corner stone of the brick by brick rebuild and now he looks like just a guy. Could it be? The Flyers are just a bad organization? They don't know how to scout, they don't draft the right guys, they can't develop what they do draft, they don't know how to build a hockey team, they can't manage the salary cap, they hand out bad contracts, they make bad trades, they don't hire the right coaches.
I love Tocchet a lot as a player and as a coach but the last game he not impressed me in overtime with York on the ice on the power play , I dont believe that again , Drysdale or Sanheim much better options, York dont move their feet no shot execution too slow 🤦
I am tired of the camp that thinks the Flyers should let Michkov do whatever he wants because he is offensively gifted. His skating stinks and if he can't finish a shift and is coming off early as Tocchet alluded to in this press conference, his conditioning still stinks. He was relegated 2 times to lesser teams in the KHL by Saint Petersburg SKA and once back to Russian Junior, because he has issues playing the team game. His maturity level stinks.

Rick Tocchet getting testy. I don't blame him. The media keeps harping on Michkov as if there is nobody else on the team. Relax guys!
Who asked and it was genuine if Pronger was playing goalie?
Trade MM for a handful while you still can.
Media is so inept! Everything about their adopted Son
Tocchet is so good. Funny, cool, calm, collected, insightful. What a legend.

Thank god you left the Canucks am I right!
He’s right. All the Michkov lovers on their knees for him in shambles right now.
You play to win, you don’t play to lose. It’s on the player to progress their game.
I’m with you Tocch! Let’s talk about Barkey, Drysdale, Zegras, Risto, etc. A lot of other topics to talk about over MM
lol Charlie isn’t stuck in Buffalo anymore 😆
Zegras flyers legend. hang his # up already.
Finally, something needed to be said

lol Tocchet dislikes Michkov so bad. One of them will need to leave.

There' are 50 players in this organization, MM39 is no more important than the other 49. GROW UP MEDIA CLOWNS!
Bout time .. good going Tocc
Tocc is the worst coach for offensively gifted and creative players .
