[Charlie O’Connor] Tippett acknowledged that especially at the end of the game, he was purposely trying to get the puck to Michkov so he could potentially score a goal in his first home game at the Wells Fargo Center. Passed up some quality shooting opportunities to do it, too.

The hug at the end sealed it. Michkov went for the fist bump but Tippett said no hug me brother
I fricken love how that lines looking man. Michkov is making Frost play a more north-south game & crash the net more. Tippett is actually looking to pass a bit more than just blindly shoot.
All 3 can make elite plays. All 3 can dangle a dman silly. All 3 are creative. They’ll have their horrendous turnovers & games, but I pray Torts gives them a decent leash because the upside of that trio is very high.
What a lad
It’s been a while since I was this excited for the season
Charlie said on the PHLY postgame show that TK’s been giving Michkov shit because he didn’t score in the first game lmao
Tippet the homie confirmed
After all of the “I don’t want to play here” stuff… My biggest hope is that this kid…regardless of how he performs for the next year or two… Melds with the team and learns to love being a flyer
Edit* I don’t want to play here stuff coming from Gauthier kolosov Krug etc.
I saw video of his first goal and I think I’ve been pronouncing his name wrong this whole time? Is it “Meech-kov” or “Mitch-kov”?
I’m glad he confirmed what we all suspected. I’m glad he knows he could’ve been the hero. I love that Tippett wasn’t even our prospect, but is treating this place like it’s all he knows and wants to give back to those just entering the family.
