Matvei Michkov's historic pace is making NHL teams who passed on him look foolish

Michkov, who slid to No. 7 in the 2023 draft, surely has GMs who were reluctant to draft him because of the "Russian factor" second guessing things.

With him and Gauthier on the team next season we could probably be a mid level playoff team but ill keep dreaming until it happens.

Not only that, but have that whole season with them on it building chemistry, experience some playoffs and be full tilt the following season. Ah yes, dreams are nice aren't they.

Farm Report: Lycksell Leads Phantoms' Big Weekend | Philadelphia Flyers

Last year, in his first season in North America, Olle Lycksell was one of the most pleasant surprises during training camp. He parlayed it into a solid season that saw him lead the Lehigh Valley Phantoms with 31 assists, rank second on the team in points (45 points in 53 games) and sixth with 14...

Michkov needs to play in the Nhl as soon as humanly possible. It will be a damn shame if that's not next season too. 3+ years is too long to wait. He wanted us and we (the Flyers) wanted him. If he's soon the generational talent that he's supposed to become, he will eventually set records and win Cups in the orange & black. It could be a beautiful marriage and those possibilities are very exciting to imagine, but it also feels so distant from now.

Wade Allison’s start in Lehigh Valley is not going well

The young Flyers winger was cut, sent down on waivers, and is now getting hung out to dry.

I feel bad for Wade as injuries have slowed his progress to a halt.

Im hearing that Frost will be a healthy scratch again. Man he got in the dog house quick.

Flyers at Golden Knights picks and predictions​

Prediction​

Flyers 4, Golden Knights 3

Moneyline​

Peg Philadelphia as being a couple clicks above average but seen by the public as something less and Vegas as being quite good but view as something more.

The Flyers have shot just 5.9% in even-strength situations. Their possession numbers have been solid while playing a top-5 strength of schedule. Philly has gone just 1-of-18 (5.6%) on the powerplay and typically plays in games with an extra penalty or 2, so some correction there gets an added volume boost. The Flyers head into this game on 2 days’ rest. Combining last season and this season, they are 13-3-1 with 2-day rest. That’s the club’s best rest split.

The Knights figure as a tad too far out over their skis and are priced more like a top-of-the-West juggernaut than perhaps what they are. They have played a bottom-5 strength of schedule.

Are we predicting a Philadelphia win. Not necessarily. But the Flyers are worth more than a 35.71% share here (implied odds).

BACK PHILADELPHIA (+180).

It's a big one, my dude. Happy wife, happy life. Looks like you're all set. I definitely anticipate a deeply religious experience. I mean, I expect a competitive game and a very good test for our boys.


Boon, I anticipate a deeply religious experience.

Not me ill be snoozing by the end of the first. Post a review of the game tonight or tomorrow.

 

[chy1127]

I most likely won't make it to the end of the Phillies get let along an 11:00 p.m. start for the Flyers. UGH!!!!!

Will be extremely difficult for me. I worked all of last night. I want to stay up and watch all of this, but I am dragging.

 

[Maverick426h]

Should've won tonight. Went toe to toe with the champs though and then blew it late. Lesson learned, perhaps. We play really well, just don't quite have the talent to pile up the goals or the defense to lockdown a close game late. Vegas wins 2-3 just barely in regulation, but we led the majority of the game 2-1.

 

[lasgop8]

I woke up early to watch the game and we almost beat Vegas on the road and should've at least gotten a point on maybe 2.

10 seconds before the winning goal for Vegas ,York made the worst turnover imaginable in that situation. He could've done anything with the puck except for what he did and gave it away in our zone with around 40 seconds left UGHHHHH!!!!

First goal for Vegas was a bad turnover in our end by Atkinson.

Other than those two plays i was happy the way we played. The boys hustled throughout i cant ask for more.

Hart played very well. His puck handling is atrocious and he needs to improve greatly on that.

On their second goal Zamula got abused.

Tippett looked very good.

Its time to bring back Frost and sit Foerester.

I agree with everything you said. We are desperately needing a jugular instinct added to the chemistry/ make up of this squad. Unfortunately we don't have the offensive threats but we're getting there. Adding Gautier to our rooster should help a great deal and hopefully some of the others have taken the next steps. Like I said, we're going to win more hustle games than we're going to lose.

I love when the feet of all 4 lines are moving it makes for a fun watch.

I did win a nice little bet taking your Avs over the Isles on the money line.
