Why Matvei Michkov NEEDS To Play For Tocchet's Flyers As Prospects Push Philly To NHL Playoffs

With new additions like Porter Martone, Denver Barkey, and Alex Bump for the Philadelphia Flyers, GM Danny Briere suddenly has his hands full with young, promising talent to pair with Russian phenom Matvei Michkov – who added a goal and 2 assists to his impressive resume against Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders. 

As these prospects have played in meaningful, playoff-type, championship-level games in their development, Michkov really hasn't due to Russia's KHL rules, thus questioning how much impact and experience Matvei Michkov has in these types of high-pressure situations and preparing for the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs. 

Bill and Charlie of the PHLY Flyers Podcast discuss the Mad Russian's impact for a young Flyers team, and how this important stretch of this season will not only mean a lot for the team, but for Michkov's offseason as the Flyers fight in the Eastern Conference and Metropolitan Division.
