Having a Michkovfee for breakfast
When will Michkov suit up for the Flyers?
Arizona not trading the #6 is one of the worst moves I can remember. They could have got a TON of assets and still got that dman. I’m sure Washington would have gave them #8, their 1st next year and probably more. Thank God they’re a poorly run organization
Guten Morgen.
If you need a screen printer for the merch you are speaking of I would be happy to contribute my time. Keep up the great coverage in the meantime.. as usual. Gives me great stuff to listen/watch while printing
Russ, we have a Tim Ho’s in the Phantoms stadium up here in the Valley. May necessitate an ahl trip for the pod
I am all for building the Defense but they can definitely address this in the next 2-3 drafts along with FA… York & Bonk are mighty fine "Steady Eddies" like u say but I just truly fear we should've drafted Gabe Perrault (who went one pick later to the rival NYR) can become for years to come a first-liner who could've been paired up with Michkov & his college teammate @ BC aka the Flyer's #1 pick last year, Cutter Gauthier (i.e. LEGION OF DOOM 2.0) … I believe this was value missed ;-///
I agree…there's no reason to think, a frail, short, michkov will ever play here, he's tiny…5'9 3/4"? No way…he looks like he's 5'6"…
Had to drive from my home in Rhodesdale, Maryland to Columbia at 5:30am, so I had 6 bold espressos, two smoked ham and egg with sharp cheddar on pretzel rolls and some home fries, plus a quart of pineapple juice.
Sorry I missed your live talk.
keep the logo!
Ovi was known as a terrible 200 ft guy until……..JR called him out for it live on tv during a game. Since then he has improved drastically. Coincidence? Maybe.
Man if I were the GM of one of the teams he supposedly "Ghosted" (e.g. Arizona) I would've taken that as a clear sign he has no intentions in our organization and converted that perceived NEGATIVE and turn it into a POSITIVE by first not telling anyone and second obviously leveraged the spot and traded as soon as Montreal passed…Not only was it poor GM'ing that they could've landed who they drafted at 6 at 12 but also missed out on the potential haul offered by at least Philly, Wash & Nashville at minimum!!!
I think we should reference Chuck Fletcher as Valdamort.
Same Russ, the last time I was this excited was the Weber offer sheet. This is a big move.
We essentially waited 3 years for Embiid to play his first full season. The Flyers were terrible in Lindros first 2 years, as they didn’t make the playoffs until his 3rd season.
The good thing is we will all watch this young Flyers nucleus grow for the next few years while the Flyers management has a plan. Then Michkov makes his debut and nobody will even remember how long we waited.
I never would have thought after watching the loathsome Blackhawks win the lottery that I'd be this effing excited after the draft. Thank you Danny and Keith. You gave the Fandom something we've been missing for a decade. Hope.
Agree that logo should not be changed
Fun to feel excited about the Flyers !!
I think Mike Richards was a great pick
How does Michkov compare with Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews?
It’s impossible for this podcast to not bring up other podcasts lol
