So much talk about how Torts changed this team. The Flyers already showed signs of life last year. I had them fourth in Metro because I didnt see the collapse of NJ happening so fast. Keep in mind that Philly is 6th overall in prospect ranking. Once those kids and Michkov come up, I see the fanbase starting a mutiny. Torts will punish speed and skill players if they struggle on the backcheck and refuse to bock shots with their face. Torts is entertaining, but his relentless type of “old school” hockey is outdated in today’s game. Its unsustainable.

Takes a team that was a bottom dweller with no expectations to a playoff birth. Has management not believe in him nor the current teams and sells off instead of building. Maintains the 3rd seed keeps the team going and won't let it break. Most teams and players would already thrown in the towel. Also has the you know what to stand up to star players in the day and age of my feelings hurt wahhh, to do their job better. That takes big ones.

@@93faze he is the highest paid player on the roster because he signed his contract in 21-22. Which up to that point in time, in the last 2 seasons (19-20/20-21) he put up 58 points in 74 games. So you are basically signing the guy based off production from 2-3 years prior. It was a terrible signing. Shouldve been closer to 4 years MAYBE ~$6m. As to your point of best 2WF, I think he might be 1a or 1b for defensive play but is not a top 6 offensive player this year. He has 1 point, ONE POINT, in his last 12 games and is a -6 +/-. Yes he is averaging 13:34 minutes per game but he is consistantly out against opponents 3rd or 4th line. He 100% should be getting half a point a game with what opportunities are being given to him.

@@ventilatorblues8716 I understand what you are saying. But i disagree. Michkovs coach said he really showed a lot of incline in his defensive game. Everyone in the hockey world knows he is an offensive phenom. If guys like Frost or Brink have bought into the defensive mind, I dont have a problem believing that Michkov wont either. Then you have guys like Denver Barkey, small in size but a great puck handler and a decent defensive mind. Put up 15 points SH, and really only lacks size and experience. Oliver Bonk, the Flyers drafted him and a Defensive Defenseman in the 1st round. Come to find out his got a good amount of Offensive production, granted he was the screen in front of the net on PPs. Massimo Rizzo, a playmaker who led his team (F) in blocked shots last year. Torts is a great coach for a younger team. It’s like if you ran a company. As an owner, I want my employees to do things the way that I want my business ran. I don’t have them coming in with passed habits that wont compliment what the goal of the company is. Rather as an owner I want fresh talent, talent that I can mold into the right way to run the company. Torts is molding this kids into a defensive powerhouse. We know we lack on the offensive side. Its very much a team effort. Michkov is our offensive weapon, that we hope gives the offensive the revolutionary spark it desperately needs.

However, a good boss, to use your analogy, also has to trust the people who work for them and needs to allow them use their strengths for the betterment of the company. Torts has a proven record of NOT doing this. His tenure with the Rangers is a fine example. He Had them play, hard, gritty, shot blocking hockey at the expense of allowing fast & skilled players to play their game. He benched Gaborik for not blocking a shot FFS when the Rangers were down a goal and needed skill. This isnt 1970 or hell, even early 2000s hockey. The game has evolved. Torts has not.
