  1. Personally I think as long as Michkov understands that if there’s a higher percentage play that he could make behind the net he should make that one, I’m 1000% ok with him making more Michigan attempts. it’ll be sick when he makes one in

  2. He can’t really be mad at him trying it in that situation. It was a delayed penalty. Zero consequences if it fails

  3. There shouldn’t even be a battle in the first place. Let the potential franchise superstar of the teams future show off a bit. It’s the most creativity I’ve seen on the team in 5 or so years anyway.

  4. I’m not sure the author of this article got it right.

    Torts was not talking about Michov when he said that.

    He doesn’t want the Michigan in the game of hockey at all and he lost that battle.

    In regards to Michov he said he talked to him and is teaching him that there might be better things to do instead… But he won’t tell him to stop.

    Edit: The article is fine, my bad. The reddit title doesn’t portray what the article said.

  5. I get Torts, but I get Much with the Michigan attempts. Ultimately, the team is a business. And Michigan attempts out asses in the seats and get people excited to watch Michkov. So let him try.

    Besides when he finally pulls it off the hockey world is going to go berserk and I’m here for it 

  6. He’ll either get really good at it or he’ll grow out of it. Torts feels the same way and is just asking Mich to consider other options. I don’t know why people think Torts is doing poorly with him…the kid is runaway Calder leader, and while Torts can have his flaws, I trust Danny and Jones to keep it even keeled. This town loves to create fire from drizzle. Let’s not do that, here. The Eagles sub is already insufferable enough.

  7. The scary thing for a goalie is how fast he can do that.

    The video above he barely skates around the goal and scores almost looked like the Sweden goal he did it behind the goal and over the crossbar
