1996, this was the defining sports moment of my life
Sudden death in the championship, no Philly pro team nor any of my teams had ever won one during my lifetime I thought I was cursed
Scored the hat trick GWG with my friends in crowd chanting my name
So much joy

Correction Jakey.
WE are the people.
Don't forget how this billboard exists.
The fans.
Dan Silver retweeted
Everything we're doing is spreading like wild fire but now is not the time to stop.
The billboard will continue to update & the plane will fly on Sunday from 2:45pm - 3:45pm.
There MUST be "FIRE TOCCHET" chants during Sunday's game.
It has to be relentless & deafening.
OMG The replies
Head coach Rick Tocchet and forward Tyson Foerster met with the media following Friday's practice in Columbus. #LetsGoFlyers

Comments: “Impressive!” “Philly fans really are something else - a billboard AND a plane all just to save Michkov!” “Philly fans have always been radical but here they're right on point. It'd be a real shame if coaching experiments end up killing the potential of such a talent”

Matvei Michkov goal celly line on Sept 26 2024 in a preseason game vs NYI. It was Michkov's first ever game in Philly, Flyers would win 2-0, w goals by Michkov and @6ErikJohnson.

Matvei Michkov is 21yo
Ultra competitive
My guess is he is sick of losing this year, frustrations mounted w/ teammates, boiled over w/ Seeler incident, and that night he vented to his agent and said he wanted out
The Weekes chaos ensued, MM39 calmed down, and it's salvageable

🏒 Matvei Michkov is the new Patrick Roy
Patrick Roy was ultra competitive, cocky, emotional, confrontational with his teammates, passionate and driven with a desire to continuously improve his game.
So is Michkov. So was Claude Lemieux too.
Both Roy and Lemieux got traded because of their personalities.
Will Michkov get traded?
But remember, Patrick Roy won 4 Stanley Cups, and Claude Lemieux won 4 Stanley Cups as well, both with polarizing and complex personalities. 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
Sometimes, the very personalities that make players difficult to manage are also part of what makes them exceptional competitors.
Enjoy the wild stallions while you can.

Elliotte Friedman - 32T - #LetsGoFlyers : I will say this, over the last 24 hours, I heard some crazy stories about the relationship between Michkov and his teammates. This stuff is so sensitive, right now especially, [...] One thing I believe to be true is that one of the reasons everybody is disappointed by what happened in the last 24 to 48 hours is that there was a recent get together, meal, whatever, between some of the players, including Michkov, to work on this. Like a legit attempt. Let's hold hands, kumbaya, work together, be a team, and then there was this explosion on the bench. - 11/12 #NHL

🚨 Things are heating up in Philadelphia!
A billboard has appeared in Philly today with a clear message:
“FIRE TOCCHET. SAVE MICHKOV.”
Flyers fans are making their frustrations known as tensions surrounding Matvei Michkov and Rick Tocchet continue to grow.
Has it really come to this in Philadelphia? 👀
